Rowboat

Rowboat is an AI-powered productivity assistant that transforms your emails and meeting notes into a local, linked knowledge graph. It acts as an AI coworker with memory, automatically capturing and organizing information from your communications to help you prepare for meetings, draft emails, and stay on top of your work.

• Self-Updating Notes - Rowboat automatically updates your notes when new emails arrive or meetings end, keeping your knowledge base current without manual effort.

• AI Coworker Capabilities - Ask Rowboat to prep you for meetings, draft emails, create voice briefings, or accomplish various tasks using the context it has gathered from your communications.

• Local-First Architecture - All your data stays on your machine and is never stored elsewhere, ensuring complete privacy and control over your information.

• Portable Data Format - Notes are stored in plain markdown format, allowing you to export your data anytime and maintain full ownership of your knowledge base.

• Open Source - The entire codebase is available for inspection on GitHub, and you can self-host the application for complete control.

• Flexible AI Provider Support - Choose your preferred AI model including GPT, Claude, Gemini, or run fully local models for complete offline operation.

• Knowledge Graph Organization - Automatically organizes information by people, organizations, projects, and topics, creating a linked network of your professional relationships and activities.

To get started, download Rowboat for your operating system from the GitHub releases page. The application runs locally on your machine and connects to your email and calendar to begin building your knowledge graph. You can then interact with the AI assistant through the chat interface to prepare for meetings, draft communications, or query your accumulated knowledge.
