Hey Product Hunt 👊 I'm Sam, founder of Almanac. I'm super excited to share something we've been working on. What is it? Almanac is the world's first predictive platform that crunches billions of data points every day to help see into the future. By leveraging AI to process a multitude of data sets (including geospatial, weather, news, and demographic), Almanac creates a powerful view into how the world behaves. 🌍 Why should you care? From retail to marketing to real-estate, many businesses can be proactive with access to a prediction of what their customers are doing. Alongside predictive trends, Almanac provides comprehensive insights into historical trends, movement, and behavior. Features include: - Predictive behavior on a national, regional, category, or brand level 📈 - Custom comparisons between any of the above 🔮 - Visitor profile 👽 - Consumer analysis 🛍 - Visits forecast 📍 - Daily heatmap 🔥 - Exportable and actionable 💻 - 3 years historical and 2-month forward-looking views ⌛ Our story Since personally opening a coffee shop, it was clear that for brick and mortar, predicting trade, trends, and consumer behavior would help save money, improve marketing, and get more customers. We're making Almanac free through Jan 2021 to help product hunt users smash the holiday season.

Such a simple and clean approach to predict consumer behavior! Feels like this needed to exist years ago!!
James Ewen
Maker
@frankevans7 Hey Frank! We love your thinking. We certainly thought so when we opened up a coffee shop back in 2017. That's why we built this! Hopefully other real-world businesses can use Almanac to compete and grow in these challenging times 💪

Martin Sahlen
This looks awesome! Out of curiosity, what geographies do you support and is the fixed pricing based on access to certain countries / regions or is it volume-based?
James Ewen
Maker
@martin_sahlen Thanks for the question Martin. At the moment we offer a single tier for unlimited access to the US. In 2021, as we expand to new markets we will change our pricing to include a free tier with limited access 👌

Loftie Ellis
What kind of consumer behavior can this predict? Something like seasonal changes? You have a spelling issue on a few pages (milion -> million) https://app.pagewatch.dev/3cb999...
Sam Amrani
Maker
@lpellis hey loftie, we look at factors such as how footfall is impacted by weather, events and demographic change, and we of course evaluate seasonality and trend as part of our model. Thanks for that spelling correction. How silly of us! 🤦‍♂️

Are you supporting all US states?
