Hi HN,
We’ve been building The Almanac, a tool that creates Wikipedia-style articles for any person using their full public online footprint. Unlike Linkedin where people have to maintain their own profile, we automatically crawl the internet for their roles, art, projects, collaborations, publications, media mentions, everything that’s actually documented. You can make a profile for yourself or anyone else by generating it.
A few things we focused on:
Identity disambiguation: reliably separating people with similar names - this is very tricky and something that GPT/Perplexity gets wrong very often
Full-stack research agent that crawls, filters, and writes structured articles
Detailed profiles that include timelines, infoboxes, sources, and citations
Public search plus the ability to generate your own or someone else’s profile
You can try it here: https://thealmanac.ai
Example profile: https://www.thealmanac.ai/article/davidlieb
Generate a profile (requires login) : https://thealmanac.ai/generate
We’d love feedback from the community on accuracy, product direction, and edge cases where it breaks. Happy to answer anything.
