Launch HN: Rowboat (YC S24) – Open-source IDE for multi-agent systems
Hi HN! We are Arjun, Ramnique, and Akhilesh, the founders of Rowboat ( https://www.rowboatlabs.com ), an AI-assisted IDE for building and managing multi-agent systems with a copilot. Using Rowboat, you can build both deterministic automation agents (e.g. automatically summarizing emails) and more agentic systems (e.g. a meeting prep assistant or a customer support bot). Here are some examples: - Meeting-prep assistant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZTP4xZM2DY - Customer support assistant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xfo-OfgOl8w - Gmail and Reddit assistant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6r7P4Vlcn2g Rowboat is open-source ( https://github.com/rowboatlabs/rowboat ) and has a growing community. We first launched it on Show HN a few months ago ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43763967 ).
