I actually was using this quite a lot earlier this year, thanks for this!

What I actually ended up doing was regularly pointing Claude at the Rowboat directory. Really useful to have all of this context available as markdown files.

I use my own standard format for all context capsules, and had my own branch running with that format hacked in.

Being able to describe the format in a plugin style architecture would be awesome.

Granola notes silently stopped working when they decided to encrypt the DB, interesting to see you've got your own in there now.

Will check it out again.

That is great to know!

We heard of others pointing Claude to the knowledge graph. It made us double down on building a Claude desktop alternative, so we could couple them deeply. For instance, there are places you could provide feedback on emails to Rowboat and that goes into the knowledge graph which then improves the email handling. Something like this would be hard, if we did not control the assistant as well.

Would love to see your context capsule format. We could definitely make it possible to describe your own format.

Granola no longer working was what led us to build it natively.

Welcome back. Would love your thoughts on the product.
