Rowboat Review
Desktop app that builds a living knowledge graph from your work and uses it to automate tasks on your computer.
Verdict
Rowboat is a desktop AI coworker that indexes your files and activity into a persistent knowledge graph, then uses that context to execute tasks autonomously. Its memory-driven approach gives it a meaningful edge over stateless AI assistants for repeat workflows. The main tradeoff is that value accumulates over time as it learns your work, making it less immediately useful out of the box.
