rowboatlabs is a personal assistant for work that brings a person's Brain, emails, meetings, and notes on their machine into the context for their assistant. It is for people who want help grounded in their own work, as well as teams that need a shared place for conversations and project materials. Instead of separating the assistant from team activity, Rowboat lets a person bring their assistant into a Space and share selected work with teammates.
The product addresses two connected needs: using personal work context to get help, and collaborating without losing the connection between discussion and shared materials. Personal context stays on the user's machine, while the team Space holds what the user and assistant choose to share.
What can rowboatlabs do?
A Rowboat assistant can respond in a team Space using context from its user's Brain, email, meetings, and notes on that user's machine. Shared Spaces bring team conversations, files, and whiteboards together. Each teammate can bring their own assistant, keeping personal context distinct from what is shared with the team.
The workspace supports collaborative work across discussion and documents. The product also includes an email client and meeting note taker, while Spaces exposes an MCP server for other agents. The site says users can connect local models through Ollama or LM Studio.
- Use personal Brain, email, meeting, and note context when asking the assistant for help.
- Bring teammates, conversations, files, and whiteboards into shared Spaces.
- Work with shared documents, Markdown, and presentations.
- Catch up on email, find threads, and draft replies with the email client.

Who is rowboatlabs best for?
Rowboat suits individuals who want an assistant to work with context from their own machine, and teams that want their conversations and working materials in shared Spaces. It may fit teams that collaborate through whiteboards and documents, or people who want to bring meeting and email workflows into the same assistant experience. Teams should consider whether they want to configure a shared workspace and what personal context they are comfortable asking their assistant to use. The available facts describe collaboration and local context, but do not identify specific industries or team sizes.
