Almanac launches agent to inject live company knowledge into LLM calls

Almanac, a Y Combinator S26 startup, has launched an agent designed to solve the context-persistence problem in LLM applications. Their system, named Hermes with a brain, maintains a live, self-updating wiki of company knowledge by compiling data from connected tools like Slack, Gmail, and GitHub. This wiki is used to inject relevant, permission-aware context into every LLM call, addressing issues of stale information, data leakage, and token budget limitations common in existing retrieval-augmented generation systems.
