Almanac is born: the AI that knows everything about your company (and answers questions like another employee)

What is Almanac? Imagine you hire an employee who has studied everything about your business: how it works, who your clients are, what your processes are, what strategies have worked. That employee answers any question in seconds. That's Almanac, but it's AI.

The tool is trained only with YOUR company's data. It can read documents, databases, emails, previous projects. When someone asks something, Almanac searches through all that history and gives a coherent answer, as if the company were answering.

Who is it useful for? If you run a medium or large team, Almanac solves a real problem: knowledge loss. When an employee leaves, they take years of experience with them. When someone new arrives, it takes months to learn how everything works.

With Almanac, a new manager can ask: "What was the strategy we used for client X?" and the AI gives them the answer in seconds, consulting years of documents.

What is the advantage over ChatGPT? ChatGPT doesn't know your company. It only knows what you ask it in the moment. Almanac is special because it lives within your information. It's like the difference between asking Google about a generic topic, or asking your executive director about decisions they've already made.

It is especially valuable for companies in Latin America, where many businesses depend on the knowledge of one or two people.

What does this mean for you?

If your company has scattered documents, processes that only one person knows, or client history that no newcomer understands, Almanac could prevent you from losing critical knowledge. It's worth evaluating if your team is growing fast.
