How Rowboat works

A closer look at what each part does — then scroll up and click through them in the demo.

Email

Rowboat triages your inbox into Important and everything else, and auto-drafts replies for the ones that matter — using everything it knows about you: your notes, meetings and past threads. When you edit or send a draft, it learns from that action, so the next draft sounds more like you.

Brain

Everything Rowboat sees — email, meeting transcripts, Slack, assistant chats — is distilled into plain-markdown notes that link to each other, Obsidian-style. People, companies, projects and topics become nodes in a living knowledge graph that updates itself as you work. And it's all just files on your disk: readable, portable, yours.

Meetings

A local note-taker taps into your mic and speaker — no bot joins your call. You get a live transcript while you talk, then a markdown summary with action items when the meeting ends. The Brain updates too: everyone and everything discussed gets its note refreshed automatically.

Background agents

Persistent agents fire on events — new email, meeting ended — or on a schedule, like every day at 8am. They can search the web, drive the built-in browser, connect to your tools and even write code. Triage, meeting follow-ups, investor updates and changelogs happen while you're doing something else.

Event or scheduleAgent runs with your contextOutput ready for review

Code Mode

Spin up parallel coding agents with Claude Code or Codex, and let Rowboat drive them with your work context. A decision in a meeting or a customer blocker can become a branch with a reviewable diff — without you re-explaining the background to anyone.

Apps

Describe a personal app to the copilot — a fundraise CRM, a runway tracker, a customer-health board — and it builds a small web app that lives inside Rowboat, runs locally, and is fed by your agents and your data. It keeps itself current so you don't have to.

Local-first by design. Everything runs on your machine — bring your own model with Ollama or LM Studio, or your own API keys. Your memory is markdown on disk, so nothing is ever held hostage.
