Products that do what Rowboat – AI coworker that turns your work into a knowledge graph (OSS) does

Hi HN, AI agents that can run tools on your machine are powerful for knowledge work, but they’re only as useful as the context they have. Rowboat is an open-source, local-first app that turns your work into a living knowledge graph (stored as plain Markdown with backlinks) and uses it to accomplish tasks on your computer. For example, you can say "Build me a deck about our next quarter roadmap." Rowboat pulls priorities and commitments from your graph, loads a presentation skill, and exports a PDF.

Plain Markdown files with backlinks, organized around things like people, projects, organizations, and topics. As new emails and meetings come in, the right notes update automatically.
