# Rowboat
|
||
**An open-source, local-first AI coworker with memory for everyday work**
|
||
|
||
</h5>
|
||
|
||
Rowboat connects your email and meeting notes, builds long-lived knowledge from them, and uses that knowledge to help get work done on your machine.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Demo
|
||
|
||
[](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2Bmiy05FrI)
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Quick start
|
||
|
||
**Download for Mac:**
|
||
|
||
https://github.com/rowboatlabs/rowboat/releases/latest
|
||
|
||
## What it does
|
||
|
||
Rowboat ingests your:
|
||
- **Email** (Gmail)
|
||
- **Meeting notes** (Granola, Fireflies)
|
||
|
||
and organizes them into a local, Obsidian-compatible vault of plain Markdown files with backlinks.
|
||
|
||
This vault is not just for browsing or search. It becomes a working memory that Rowboat’s AI uses to take actions on your behalf.
|
||
|
||
As new emails and meetings come in, the relevant notes update automatically, building persistent context across people, projects, organizations, and topics.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## How it’s different
|
||
|
||
Most AI tools reconstruct context on demand by searching transcripts or documents.
|
||
|
||
Rowboat maintains **long-lived knowledge** instead:
|
||
- context accumulates over time
|
||
- relationships are explicit and inspectable
|
||
- notes are editable by you, not hidden inside a model
|
||
- everything lives on your machine as plain Markdown
|
||
|
||
The result is memory that compounds, rather than retrieval that starts cold every time.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## What you can do with it
|
||
|
||
Rowboat uses this knowledge to help with everyday work, including:
|
||
|
||
- Drafting emails using accumulated context
|
||
- Preparing for meetings from prior decisions and discussions
|
||
- Organizing files and project artifacts as work evolves
|
||
- Running shell commands or scripts as agent actions
|
||
- Extending capabilities via external tools and MCP servers
|
||
|
||
Actions are explicit and grounded in the current state of your knowledge.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## Local-first by design
|
||
|
||
- All data is stored locally as plain Markdown
|
||
- No proprietary formats or hosted lock-in
|
||
- Works with local models via Ollama or LM Studio, or hosted models if you prefer
|
||
- You can inspect, edit, back up, or delete everything at any time
