Overview

Brain Rowboat indexes email, meetings, slack and assistant conversations into a living Obsidian-style backlinked knowledge graph.

Email The built-in email client sorts emails into important and everything else. Rowboat automatically drafts responses for important email using all the work context.

Background agents You can set up background agents that run on events like new email or on schedule like every day at 8am. They can connect to tools, search the web, use the browser and write code using Claude Code or Codex.

Built-in Browser Rowboat includes a browser that lets you and assistant collaborate on web tasks. Because it's isolated from your main browser, you can log in only to the accounts that you want the assistant to access.

Meeting Notes A local meeting note-taker that taps into mic & speaker, produces live transcript and summarizes the meeting in a markdown file and updates the knowledge graph.

Code Mode Code mode lets you spin up parallel coding agents with Claude Code or Codex, and have Rowboat drive them with all the work context where needed.

Apps You can build your own work surfaces inside Rowboat — they get access to all the tools and integrations, and you can share them with other people.

Integrations Includes one-click integrations to most popular products.

Spaces: the multiplayer part

Everyone on the team runs their own Rowboat on their own machine, with their own memory of their work and their own model keys. A Space is where you come together: a place to talk, share files and whiteboards, and get work done. Type @rowboat in a Space and your Rowboat works with your context on your machine, then brings the result back to the room as you.

One Space. All your people. And their assistants. A Space is a channel plus a shared folder. Messages, threads, DMs, reactions, polls, scheduled messages, and @mentions on one side; markdown files rendered as a wiki, uploads, and whiteboards on the other. Conversations, ideas, knowledge and the work itself, finally in the same place.
