## What it is
Row-Bot is a local-first desktop AI assistant and workbench that combines chat, durable memory, a personal knowledge graph, tool use, parent-led agent orchestration, voice, vision, shell access, browser automation, scheduled workflows, and messaging channels. It runs models locally via Ollama (with opt-in cloud providers) so conversations, documents, and knowledge stay on the user's machine or private server.

## Use cases
- run a private AI assistant entirely on my own machine
- chat with local LLMs through Ollama without sending data to the cloud
- automate scheduled background tasks with an AI agent
- build a personal knowledge graph from my documents
- delegate multi-step research and coding work to orchestrated child agents
- control my computer and browser with an AI assistant
- talk to my assistant over voice and messaging channels
- self-host an AI workbench on my own server with Docker

## When to choose
- you want a privacy-focused, local-first AI assistant where data never leaves your machine
- you need an all-in-one workbench combining chat, agents, memory, tools, voice, and workflows
- you want parent-led agent orchestration with approvals, checkpoints, and bounded budgets
- you prefer running models locally via Ollama with optional cloud providers
- you want a self-hostable Docker deployment for a private server

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight CLI or library to embed in your own code rather than a full desktop application
- you need multi-user tenant isolation - the Docker mode is single-owner only
- you want a hosted managed service with no local installation
- you need guaranteed scalability or enterprise support
