Floatboat

Most AI tools sit passively in a browser tab waiting for you to type a prompt. Floatboat completely flips this dynamic by turning your schedule into an active runtime. Developed by Hong Kong-based AOE Tech Labs Limited, this desktop environment connects to Google Calendar, Notion Calendar, Lark, Microsoft Outlook, Apple iCloud, or any ICS feed, treating each scheduled block as an automated execution trigger. Instead of manually prompting an assistant before a meeting or after a deadline, Floatboat runs context preparation, draft compilation, and post-event follow-ups proactively, storing all artifacts directly in your local folders.

Much like multi-model workspaces such as Floutwork, Floatboat integrates frontier intelligence under one roof so you do not have to juggle separate subscriptions. However, unlike cloud-only agents like Happycapy, Floatboat operates on a privacy-first, local-first runtime: your files stay on your machine, and external LLM calls only receive strictly necessary context.

Key features and built-in toolset:

• Calendar-driven Agent Spaces: Every meeting, routine, or deadline spins up an isolated workspace with its own run history, model selection, and event-scoped permissions.
• Built-in multi-model routing: Built-in access to model families from OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi, MiniMax, GLM, and Seedance without needing API keys or VPNs. Auto Mode routes routine parsing to fast models and deep reasoning to heavy frontier models, with automatic fallback if a provider hits rate limits.
• Local file intelligence & Obsidian sync: Features an integrated multi-pane file manager, Markdown editing, automated sorting, AI batch document parsing, and direct read-write access to local Obsidian vaults.
• Isolated AI Browser: Automates repetitive tasks inside web portals and apps by importing cookies and sessions from your existing browsers, without hijacking your primary navigation windows.
• Flow Mode & multimedia processing: Speech-to-outcome voice capture turns raw dictation into structured memos and slides. Batch processes audio and video for transcription, translation, and burnt-in subtitles.
• FloatIM & multi-agent chats: A specialized desktop and iOS messenger where local agents collaborate, assign roles among themselves, and deliver finished code, research, or presentations.
• Extensible skill marketplaces: Access prebuilt routines through the Combo Store, Workflow Store, and Timeshop to automate browser actions, webhooks, or structured workflows.
