To connect Google services (Gmail, Calendar, and Drive), follow Google setup.
To enable voice input and voice notes (optional), add a Deepgram API key in ~/.rowboat/config/deepgram.json
To enable voice output (optional), add an ElevenLabs API key in ~/.rowboat/config/elevenlabs.json
To use Exa research search (optional), add the Exa API key in ~/.rowboat/config/exa-search.json
To enable external tools (optional), you can add any MCP server or use Composio tools by adding an API key in ~/.rowboat/config/composio.json
All API key files use the same format:

Most AI tools reconstruct context on demand by searching transcripts or documents.
Rowboat maintains long-lived knowledge instead:
The result is memory that compounds, rather than retrieval that starts cold every time.
Rowboat works with the model setup you prefer:
Rowboat can connect to external tools and services via Model Context Protocol (MCP). That means you can plug in (for example) search, databases, CRMs, support tools, and automations - or your own internal tools.
Examples: Exa (web search), Twitter/X, ElevenLabs (voice), Slack, Linear/Jira, GitHub, and more.
