-# Rowboat -**Open-source AI coworker that turns work into a knowledge graph and acts on it** - -Rowboat connects to your email and meeting notes, builds a long-lived knowledge graph, and uses that context to help you get work done - privately, on your machine. +Rowboat indexes your work into a living knowledge graph and uses that to get work done on your machine. It includes work surfaces for collaborating with AI: email client, notes, browser, code mode, meeting note taker, and workspaces for different projects. -You can do things like: -- `Build me a deck about our next quarter roadmap` → generates a PDF using context from your knowledge graph -- `Prep me for my meeting with Alex` → pulls past decisions, open questions, and relevant threads into a crisp brief (or a voice note) -- Track a person, company or topic through live notes -- Visualize, edit, and update your knowledge graph anytime (it’s just Markdown) -- Record voice memos that automatically capture and update key takeaways in the graph Download latest for Mac/Windows/Linux: [Download](https://www.rowboatlabs.com/downloads) +

+

Background agents

+You can set up background agents that run on events like new email or on schedule like every day at 8am. They can connect to tools, search the web, use the browser and write code using Claude Code or Codex. +		 +Background agents screenshot + +
+

Built-in Browser

+Rowboat includes a browser that lets you and assistant collaborate on web tasks. Because its isolated from your main browser, you can log in only to the accounts that want the assistant to access. +		 +Browser screenshot +
+

Meeting Notes

+A local meeting note-taker that taps into mic & speaker, produces live transcript and summarizes the meeting in a markdown file and updates the knowledge graph. +		 +Meeting notes screenshot +
+

Code Mode

+Code mode lets you spin up parallel coding agents with Claude Code or Codex, and have Rowboat drive them with all the work context where needed. +		 +Code mode screenshot +
