Rowboat is an open-source desktop AI coworker that indexes your email, meetings, Slack, and conversations into a living backlinked knowledge graph with memory of your work. It provides built-in work surfaces including an email client, notes, browser, code mode, and meeting note taker for collaborating with AI agents.

Use cases

• have an AI assistant that remembers my past work and projects
• automate email triage and drafting with an AI agent
• turn meeting notes into an organized knowledge graph
• let AI agents act on my machine to complete tasks
• manage multiple projects with AI workspaces
• use AI to help write and edit code locally

When to choose

• you want a self-hosted, open-source AI assistant with persistent memory
• you need an all-in-one desktop app combining email, notes, and AI agents
• you want multi-agent orchestration with a knowledge graph of your work
• you prefer a local-first alternative to cloud AI assistants

When to avoid

• you only need a lightweight CLI agent or SDK without a GUI
• you require a fully cloud-hosted managed service
• you need a mobile or web-only assistant
• you want a minimal chatbot without workspace features
