Rowboat

TLDR Dev 1 week ago

Rowboat is a desktop AI application that maintains a local knowledge graph of your work across email, meetings, and conversations, providing integrated tools like an email client, browser, code editor, and meeting transcriber to help AI agents complete tasks on your machine. The system stores all data locally as plain Markdown files and supports external integrations through Model Context Protocol, letting users bring their own AI models from providers like OpenAI or local services like Ollama. Rather than searching context fresh each time, Rowboat accumulates and organizes information over time, allowing AI agents to work with persistent, editable knowledge that compounds with ongoing use.
