Product Overview
What is Rowboat?
Rowboat is an open-source development environment designed specifically for creating multi-agent systems. The platform combines a visual interface with an intelligent copilot that helps users build, test, and deploy collaborative agent networks. Built on OpenAI's Agents SDK and supporting MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools, Rowboat enables both technical and non-technical teams to create sophisticated agent workflows. The platform takes a modular approach where different agents handle specialized tasks, similar to how well-structured code consists of focused functions rather than monolithic implementations.
