Rowboat has launched on Y Combinator’s Launch YC as an open-source, local-first AI coworker with memory.
- Instead of chatting, users describe how they want to work.
- Rowboat then builds a small app inside the product.
- It connects to email, meetings, and a knowledge graph, positioning itself as a workflow-oriented AI agent rather than a pure chat interface.
