## What is RowBoat?
**RowBoat is a state-of-art platform to build multi-agent AI systems in a visual interface, with the help of a copilot.**
RowBoat enables you to build, manage and deploy user-facing assistants. An assistant is made up of multiple agents, each having access to a set of tools and working together to interact with the user as a single assistant. You can connect any tool to the agents.
For example, you can build a *meeting prep assistant* that helps you prepare for upcoming meetings. One agent can access your Google Calendar to see your scheduled meetings, another agent can research the meeting attendees (such as finding their LinkedIn profiles or recent news), and a third agent can compile this research and send it to your email before the meeting. This way, you get automated, personalized meeting prep without manual effort.

## How RowBoat works
### RowBoat Studio
RowBoat Studio lets you create AI agents in minutes, using a visual interface and plain language.
There are key components that you will work with:
- Agents
- Playground
- Copilot

</Card>
### RowBoat Chat API & SDK
- [RowBoat Chat API](/docs/api-sdk/using_the_api) is a stateless HTTP API to interface with the assistant created on RowBoat Studio. You can use the API to drive end-user facing conversations in your app or website.
- [RowBoat Chat SDK](/docs/api-sdk/using_the_sdk) is a simple Python SDK which wraps the HTTP API under the hood. It provides a clean interface for managing conversations using conversation IDs for state management.

# Cloud Setup
Using the open-source version of Rowboat requires more technical skill to set up and navigate. For the smoothest experience, we recommend using our [hosted version](https://dev.rowboatlabs.com/)
---
# Local Setup
<Note>Pre-requisite: Ensure Docker is installed on your machine. You'll also need an OpenAI account and API key to use the Copilot and agents.</Note>
<Steps>
<Step title="Set your OpenAI key">
Export your OpenAI API key in your terminal:
```bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key
```
</Step>
<Step title="Set up Composio for tools and triggers (optional)">
To use external tools and triggers, export your Composio API key:
```bash
export COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your-composio-api-key
export COMPOSIO_TRIGGERS_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your-webhook-secret
```
<Note>For more detailed setup instructions, see the [Triggers](/docs/using-rowboat/triggers#local-setup) page.</Note>
</Step>
<Step title="Clone the repository and start Rowboat Docker">
Clone the Rowboat repository and start the app using Docker:
```bash
git clone git@github.com:rowboatlabs/rowboat.git
cd rowboat
./start.sh
```
</Step>
<Step title="Access the app">
Once Docker is running, open your browser and go to:
[http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)
</Step>
</Steps>
<Info>See the [Using custom LLM providers](#using-custom-llm-providers) section below for using custom providers like OpenRouter and LiteLLM. </Info>

## Using custom LLM providers
By default, Rowboat uses OpenAI LLMs (gpt-4o, gpt-4.1, etc.) for both agents and copilot, when you export your OPENAI_API_KEY.
However, you can also configure custom LLM providers (e.g. LiteLLM, OpenRouter) to use any of the hundreds of available LLMs beyond OpenAI, such as Claude, DeepSeek, Ollama LLMs and so on.
