# Almanac

> Almanac is an AI assistant built to actually know the company you work at. Rather than answering from generic web knowledge, it ingests your organization's data and documents so it can respond to employee questions with real internal context, the sort of thing a knowledgeable colleague could tell you but a public chatbot cannot. The problem it targets is familiar to anyone in a growing team: the answer exists somewhere, in a doc, a thread, a policy, a past decision, but finding it means pinging three people and waiting. Almanac aims to be the single place you ask, bridging the gap between a general-purpose assistant and your company's specific knowledge. Built on the Hermes foundation and coming out of Y Combinator's Summer 2026 batch, it is squarely aimed at teams that want a shared, context-aware brain for internal questions. For a non-technical employee, the appeal is straightforward: ask in plain language, get an answer grounded in how your own company actually works, without hunting through wikis.
