Bump apps/x from AI SDK v5 to v7 (single hop through the 6-0 and 7-0
migration guides). All deps upgraded via pnpm --filter:
ai@7, @ai-sdk/{anthropic@4,google@4,openai@4,openai-compatible@3,provider@4},
@openrouter/ai-sdk-provider@3, ollama-ai-provider-v2@4.
Changes (per the official migration guides):
- Provider spec bumped V2->V4: ProviderV2 -> ProviderV4 (models.ts, gateway.ts)
- streamText: result.fullStream -> result.stream (+ StreamTextInvoker seam,
test fakes); stepCountIs -> isStepCount
- system -> instructions on SDK generateText/streamText/generateObject calls
(left our own generateObjectSafe.system param untouched)
- allowSystemInMessages: true on calls passing stored messages (v7 rejects
system-role messages in the array by default; convertFromMessages emits them)
- image content part {type:'image'} -> {type:'file'} (message-encoding.ts)
- tool() no longer accepts a `name` key (removed; tools keyed by ToolSet key)
- usage token relocation: cachedInputTokens -> inputTokenDetails.cacheReadTokens,
reasoningTokens -> outputTokenDetails.reasoningTokens (mapUsage rewrite);
renderer decoupled from LanguageModelUsage to a local flat UsageSummary
- providerMetadata relay cast to shared ProviderOptions (spec loosened)
No persisted-data changes: @x/shared is AI-SDK-free, so old chats
list/view/continue unchanged. Full typecheck clean; 637 tests pass
(shared 107, core 447, renderer 83); main.cjs bundles ESM-only ai into CJS.
Pending live check (needs creds): OpenAI strictJsonSchema now defaults true
in v7 and may reject zod schemas for openai-family flavors at runtime.

Rowboat
A desktop AI coworker with a memory of your work and built-in surfaces to act on it.
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.

Overview
BrainRowboat indexes email, meetings, slack and assistant conversations into a living Obsidian-style backlinked knowledge graph. |
|
|
|
|
Background agentsYou 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. |
|
Built-in BrowserRowboat 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. |
|
Meeting NotesA 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. |
|
Code ModeCode 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. |
|
AppsYou can bulild your own work surfaces inside Rowboat — they get acess to all the tools and integrations, and you can share them with other people. |
|
IntegrationsIncludes one-click integrations to most popular products. |

Installation
Download latest for Mac/Windows/Linux: Download
All release files: https://github.com/rowboatlabs/rowboat/releases/latest
Google setup
To connect Google services (Gmail, Calendar, and Drive), follow Google setup.
Voice input
To enable voice input and voice notes (optional), add a Deepgram API key in ~/.rowboat/config/deepgram.json
Voice output
To enable voice output (optional), add an ElevenLabs API key in ~/.rowboat/config/elevenlabs.json
Web search
To use Exa research search (optional), add the Exa API key in ~/.rowboat/config/exa-search.json
External tools
To enable external tools (optional), you can add any MCP server or use Composio tools by adding an API key in ~/.rowboat/config/composio.json
All API key files use the same format:
{
"apiKey": "<key>"
}
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.
Bring your own model
Rowboat works with the model setup you prefer:
- Local models via Ollama or LM Studio
- Hosted models (bring your own API key/provider)
- Swap models anytime — your data stays in your local Markdown vault
Extend Rowboat with tools (MCP)
Rowboat can connect to external tools and services via Model Context Protocol (MCP). That means you can plug in (for example) search, databases, CRMs, support tools, and automations - or your own internal tools.
Examples: Exa (web search), Twitter/X, ElevenLabs (voice), Slack, Linear/Jira, GitHub, and more.
Local-first by design
- All data is stored locally as plain Markdown
- No proprietary formats or hosted lock-in
- You can inspect, edit, back up, or delete everything at any time
