rowboatlabs/rowboat Gains +433 Stars Today at 14K: YC-Backed Open-Source AI Coworker Turns Work Into Knowledge Graphs

GitHub·medium signal

Rowboat, a Y Combinator-backed project, is an open-source AI coworker that connects to email and meeting notes, builds a long-lived knowledge graph in an Obsidian-compatible vault of plain Markdown with backlinks, and uses that context for meeting prep, email drafting, and document generation. Unlike RAG systems that start cold each query, Rowboat's memory compounds over time. It supports MCP for extensibility and runs entirely on-device.
