    We have been debating what the best benchmark to show would be. I'd love to test it out on long horizon tasks, but then we're thinking of best to make the base wiki to test it out

    I agree with the take. This was on the roadmap, but given the responses today, we will make permissions inside the company a bigger priority. To brainstorm, would you want the abil…

    Its GPT-5.6-terra under the hood. Also we want to control the harness. Features like proactivity/long tasks are not possible the way Claude/Codex work today. We do plan on releasin…

    Wiki updates happen once a day through. That is when the entire day's context is updated in the wiki. That is when the fact disappearance would take place

    There is truly a lot of competition in the space. The reason we're confident we stand out is because of our wiki layer. We have seen both the benefits of having a detailed compiled…

    Thanks! I saw the video again and can't look beyond the low resolution now lol. We knew from day 1 that trusting agents is going to be the most difficult part of our product, so we…

    Our browser is interactive, in the sense that one could click around the browser, as well as the agent. Usually for 2FA logins, Almanac would hand it over to the human, who'd compl…
