Rowboat

Rowboat is an open-source AI coworker designed to operate in Slack and Discord, equipped with persistent memory. It can answer questions about teams, projects, and documentation by indexing conversation history and connected tools. Rowboat's memory allows it to recall context across sessions, making it feel like a real team member rather than a stateless bot. Targeted at engineering teams, startups, and open-source communities, Rowboat integrates deeply into chat platforms where teams already collaborate. It learns from interactions and can be asked to remember preferences, decisions, and facts for future reference. Rowboat runs on users' own infrastructure or cloud, offering full data control. Its open-source nature allows customization and contribution. The memory system uses vector embeddings to store and retrieve relevant information, enabling personalized responses. What sets Rowboat apart is its explicit focus on memory and open-source ethos. Unlike closed AI assistants, Rowboat's code is transparent and modifiable. It is currently in beta, with a freemium pricing model that includes a free tier for small teams.
