 ## Adjacent workflow signals (HN / Tavily)
 
-- **`agent-memory-architecture` theme row** on [`/themes.md`](/themes.md) — clusters Karpathy LLM Wiki + Google OKF + MCP + verginglabs.com "A Markdown wiki outscored every AI agent memory product we benchmarked" (HN `49156055`, 2 pts, watchlist). 15+ distinct sources on the shared-agent-memory pattern. OpenWiki aligns with this lane (Open Knowledge Format front-matter is the structural backbone).

OpenWiki aligns with this lane (Open Knowledge Format front-matter is the structural backbone).
+- **`Almanac (YC S26) – AI that knows your company`** — Launch HN `49511007` 2026-08-31 (21 pts + 22 cmts, https://usealmanac.com/). **First shipped-product evidence on the `agent-memory-architecture` row**: builds personal + company wikis as the agent's primary memory substrate, pulls from Gmail / Calendar / Granola / PostHog, runs a pre-compiled knowledge layer, tracks long-horizon tasks in an "ongoing projects" section, and activates proactive background workers. Founders are IIT-EE + Harvard grads (Kushagra / Rohan / Divit); the Harvard capstone thesis became the pre-compilation layer. Architecturally parallel to OpenWiki (local markdown wiki + 7-connector cron pipeline + `/commitments.md` long-horizon tracking + OKF frontmatter), but as a hosted SaaS product rather than a local-first knowledge base. Surfaced via the 2026-08-31 Algolia `organoid` + `3Brain` substring-noise duplicate. Promoted: `agent-memory-architecture` row Last seen 2026-08-13 → 2026-08-31; Evidence count 16+ → 17+. **Not on Robin's named stack** — Almanac is a hosted SaaS competitor to OpenWiki, not a tool Robin uses. Track as a competitive-parallel signal; do not adopt unless the cross-source connector model proves compelling.
 - **Tavily / Hermes / MiniMax-M3 lane** — Tavily answer text on this lane is **partially fabricated** (e.g. Tavily claimed a "release date of June 1, 2026" for Hermes v0.19 Quicksilver; the actual release is 2026-07-25 per Nous Research). Trust underlying URLs + GitHub release tags; ignore Tavily answer text.
