Apache-2.0 TypeScript app from Rowboat Labs: a self-hostable multiplayer workspace where each teammate brings their own AI assistant and those assistants collaborate across shared Spaces with local knowledge. The Spaces server, Harbor, is open source and self-hostable, and the desktop app runs against local models through Ollama or LM Studio, or hosted models with a key you provide. Optional voice and search integrations take their own keys.

## Provenance

- Apache-2.0, ~17.9k stars, ~2,601 commits, the self-hostable Harbor server and local-model support independently WebFetch-verified on the repo 2026-09-17 (github.com/rowboatlabs/rowboat).
- Surfaced via the 2026-09-17 viral-posts brief (RoundtableSpace's mega-account post plus the maker's own "trending on GitHub, open-source and self-hostable" post).
- Curated from the GTM Stacker signal registry (2026-09-17 pass); license independently verified 2026-09-17.

## Why it matters for a GTM stack

Most AI-assistant collaboration lives inside a hosted product that also holds your team's context. Rowboat inverts that: the Spaces server is yours to run, the models can be local, and each person's assistant works in shared channels the team controls. For a GTM team that wants agents in the loop on accounts, campaigns and research but does not want that knowledge sitting in someone else's cloud, the self-host path is the point. The honest read: it is one open server plus whatever models you bring, so the collaboration is only as good as those models, and a fully wired setup pulls in a few paid keys. As a team workspace you can host and keep, it earns a look.
