Rowboat, an open-source "multiplayer personal assistant for work" (17.9k GitHub stars), targets the gap that single-player desktop agents like Claude Cowork can't cross: real work happens with teammates.
- The problem: AI work is still one person, one chat window, context pasted by hand; a teammate's needed context is scattered across meetings, notes, and past decisions
- The design: everyone runs their own Rowboat locally with their own memory (email, meetings, notes, code) and model keys; a shared Space is the only shared surface — type @rowboat to summon it
- Personal context stays yours; only the Space is shared
