- Add MCP servers and RowboatX handles the integration
-- 🎯 **Control agents with standard Unix commands**
- - RowboatX uses bash to spawn, monitor, and manage all background agents
+- 🎯 **Let RowboatX control and monitor your background agents**
+ - Easily inspect state on the filesystem
-With full terminal access and filesystem-as-state architecture, RowboatX gives you complete control over powerful AI automations!
+Inspired by Claude Code, RowboatX brings the same shell-native power to background automations.
## Quick start
-1. Set your OpenAI key
+1. Set your LLM API key. Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, LiteLLM, Ollama, and more.
```bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key
```
-2. Clone the repository and start Rowboat (requires Docker)
+2. Install RowboatX
```bash
- git clone git@github.com:rowboatlabs/rowboat.git
- cd rowboat
- ./start.sh
+ npx @rowboatlabs/rowboatx

+## Examples
+### Add and Manage MCP servers
+`$ rowboatx`
+- Add MCP: 'Add this MCP server config: \ '
+- Explore tools: 'What tools are there in \ '
-#### Personal assistant
-Chat with the copilot to build a personal assistant. Watch the full demo [here](https://youtu.be/6r7P4Vlcn2g).

+### Create background agents
+`$ rowboatx`
+- 'Create agent to do X.'
+- '... Attach the correct tools from \ to the agent'
+- '... Allow the agent to run shell commands including ffmpeg'
-## Advanced
-1. Native RAG Support: Enable file uploads and URL scraping with Rowboat's built-in RAG capabilities – see [RAG Guide](https://docs.rowboatlabs.com/docs/using-rowboat/rag).
+### Schedule and monitor agents
+`$ rowboatx`
+- 'Make agent \ run every day at 10 AM'
+- 'What agents do I have scheduled to run and at what times'
+- 'When was \ last run'
+- 'Are any agents waiting for my input or confirmation'
-2. Custom LLM Providers: Use any LLM provider, including aggregators like OpenRouter and LiteLLM - see [Using more LLM providers](https://docs.rowboatlabs.com/docs/using-rowboat/customise/custom-llms).
+### Run background agents manually
+``` bash
+rowboatx --agent= --input="xyz" --no-interactive=true
+```
+```bash
+rowboatx --agent= # resume from a previous run
+```
+
+## Rowboat Classic UI
-3. Tools & Triggers: Add tools and event triggers (e.g., Gmail, Slack) for automation – see [Tools](https://docs.rowboatlabs.com/docs/using-rowboat/tools) & [Triggers](https://docs.rowboatlabs.com/docs/using-rowboat/triggers).
-
-4. API & SDK: Integrate Rowboat agents directly into your app – see [API](https://docs.rowboatlabs.com/docs/api-sdk/using_the_api) & [SDK](https://docs.rowboatlabs.com/docs/api-sdk/using_the_sdk) docs.
