Almanac lets you type any name and instantly see a professional, public-facing profile for that person. Search yourself or anyone else, if the profile does not exist yet, you can generate it in <10s. We crawl the public web, reconcile sources, and writes a detailed, neutral biography with a profile card, timeline, and key highlights. The related-people section links connections to other people so you can quickly see how everyone is connected. Share your Almanac page as your go-to bio link.

What is the benefit of this product? (or kind of help that offers)
I understood that adding a LinkedIn profile URL would create an article (which would mean some visibility). But are there any other hidden gems?

@rohans0509 Thank you for clarifying! :)
Great work and a real usage of ia.
I would suggest to be able to connect with linkedin to claim the page and be able to edit it.

Wow, this looks like a solid tool for aggregating public info on people you want to connect with.
But speaking as a user, I’m a bit skeptical about the actual utility. If I’m at the level where I can actually land a meeting with a VIP, I would never rely solely on public records—they're just too unreliable.
Instead, I’d always try to find a mutual contact to get the inside scoop first, and then do my research based on those specific insights.

@rohans0509 This might be due to my experience as a business journalist and VC scout. I've done the heavy lifting of researching public info before meeting key figures many times.
But I’ve found that a person's public statements are rarely the key to a deep exchange. Often, the most visible people are the most performative; that persona is a product of circumstance, not their true self.
While business relationships rely on transactional value, the 'magic' of a deep conversation comes from shared eccentricities or hidden emotional flows.
Love this! How does Almanac handle people with very little online presence? Does it still build a meaningful profile?
The Almanac
@lliloulane It does! But the depth does depend on the online presence. We will soon allow people to add their own data and make edits so the profiles would get much richer.
The idea is strong and the interface is clean. One thing I wonder is how you see this evolving for people who want more control over their public page. Will there be ways to claim or edit a profile? Excited to follow the updates.

Wow, The Almanac is seriously cool! I love the way it visualizes connections. Im curious, could it be used to map out relationships within open-source project communities too?

@jaydev13 that would be quite an interesting use case - do you have a community in mind? I'd love to have a look and see if it's possible!
