## Background agents
## Live notes
Rowboat can spin up **background agents** to do repeatable work automatically - so routine tasks happen without you having to ask every time.
Live notes are notes that stay updated automatically. You can create one by typing '@rowboat' on a note.
Examples:
- Draft email replies in the background (grounded in your past context and commitments)
- Generate a daily voice note each morning (agenda, priorities, upcoming meetings)
- Create recurring project updates from the latest emails/notes
- Keep your knowledge graph up to date as new information comes in
- Track a competitor or market topic across X, Reddit, and the news
- Monitor a person, project, or deal across web or your communications
- Keep a running summary of any subject you care about
