## 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 MCP tools to the agents.
For example, you can build a *credit card assistant*, where each agent handles a workflow such as *outstanding payments*, *balance inquiries* and *transaction disputes*. You can equip agents with tools to carry out tasks such as *fetching payment options*, *checking outstanding balance* and *updating user information*. The assistant would help your end-users their credit card-related needs without having to talk to a human agent on your end.

## 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 SDK (currently available in Python) which wraps the HTTP API under the hood. It offers both stateful and stateless (OpenAI-style) implementations.

# 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
docker-compose up --build
```
</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>

## Demo
{/* (would be better to change this to a Getiing Started Tutorial) */}
#### Create a multi-agent assistant with MCP tools by chatting with Rowboat

## Integrate with Rowboat agents
There are 2 ways to integrate with the agents you create in Rowboat

</Columns>

## 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.
