Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Rowboat to manage daily tasks, draft emails, and collaborate with coworkers across shared workspaces. It functions as a desktop app that connects to your emails, meeting notes, and files locally on your machine. You can brainstorm ideas on a shared canvas, review code, collate project context, and run background tasks without exposing sensitive personal data. It also allows you to link custom language models locally or through external providers.
