-
-This vault is your work memory.
-
-Rowboat extracts context from your emails and meetings and turns it into long-lived, editable Markdown notes. The goal is not to store everything, but to preserve the context that stays useful over time.
-
----
-
-## How it works
-
-**Entity-based notes**
-Notes represent people, projects, organizations, or topics that matter to your work.
-
-**Auto-updating context**
-As new emails and meetings come in, Rowboat adds decisions, commitments, and relevant context to the appropriate notes.
-
-**Living notes**
-These are not static summaries. Context accumulates over time, and notes evolve as your work evolves.
-
----
-
-## Your AI coworker
-
-Rowboat uses this shared memory to help with everyday work, such as:
-
-- Drafting emails
-- Preparing for meetings
-- Summarizing the current state of a project
-- Taking local actions when appropriate
-
-The AI works with deep context, but you stay in control. All notes are visible, editable, and yours.
-
----
-
-## Design principles
-
-**Reduce noise**
-Rowboat focuses on recurring contacts and active projects instead of trying to capture everything.
-
-**Local and inspectable**
-All data is stored locally as plain Markdown. You can read, edit, or delete any file at any time.
-
-**Built to improve over time**
-As you keep using Rowboat, context accumulates across notes instead of being reconstructed from scratch.
-
----
-
-If something feels confusing or limiting, we'd love to hear about it.
-Rowboat is still evolving, and your workflow matters.
