Floatboat: A Persistent, Local-First AI Agent Workspace for Solo Founders

Floatboat is a native OS-level AI agent workspace that eliminates the need to re-explain context to AI tools. It learns how you work and provides a persistent, local-first environment for automating workflows.

Details

Floatboat is designed to solve the problem of constantly re-explaining context to AI tools. It runs locally on your machine, integrating with your files, email, calendar, and other tools to build a persistent understanding of how you work. The core technical concept is the Tacit Engine, which observes your decision patterns over time and constructs a working model of your business instincts, like tone preferences and quality standards. This allows Floatboat to provide contextual assistance without requiring manual setup or maintenance. Another key feature is Combo Skills, which are installable workflow packages that encode entire sequences like turning a voice note into a pitch deck. Floatboat connects to cloud services in a context-aware way, treating integrations as extensions of your workspace rather than just trigger-action pipelines. It's designed specifically for solo professionals who need to automate tasks across development, marketing, sales, and operations.
