Rowboat is an open-source AI coworke

Rowboat is an open-source AI coworker with memory, designed to live on your machine, connect to your work tools, and turn your daily tasks into a long-lived knowledge graph. It helps you prepare for meetings, draft documents, track projects, and automate workflows β€” all while keeping your data private and editable in plain Markdown.

πŸ”‘ What Rowboat Does
Local-first AI coworker β†’ Stores everything on your machine, no proprietary lock-in.

Memory that compounds β†’ Builds a knowledge graph from emails, meetings, and notes, so context accumulates over time.

Action-oriented β†’ Drafts briefs, emails, docs, and even PDF decks using your ongoing context.

Meeting prep β†’ Pulls past decisions, open questions, and threads into crisp summaries.

Voice integration β†’ Record memos or generate voice notes with Deepgram/ElevenLabs.

Live notes β†’ Auto-updated notes that track people, projects, or competitors across platforms.

βš™οΈ How It’s Different
Most AI tools reconstruct context on demand.

Rowboat maintains long-lived, inspectable memory β†’ You can edit, back up, or delete everything.

Works with local models (Ollama, LM Studio) or hosted ones (bring your own API key).

Extensible via Model Context Protocol (MCP) β†’ Connect to tools like Slack, Jira, GitHub, Exa search, or custom internal systems.
