Row-Bot: The Local-First AI Assistant for Personal AI Sovereignty
Row-Bot is a local-first AI assistant that combines a personal knowledge graph, voice, vision, shell access, browser automation, and scheduled tasks — all while keeping your data on your machine.
Imagine an AI assistant that never phones home — no cloud dependency, no data leaving your machine, and a memory that actually belongs to you. That is the promise of Row-Bot, a local-first AI assistant built around the idea of personal AI sovereignty. With ~1.5K GitHub stars and an Apache-2.0 license, it is quickly becoming a favorite for privacy-minded power users.

Row-Bot is not just another chatbot wrapper. It is a full personal AI workspace that bundles capabilities most assistants split across five different apps:
| Capability | What it does |
|---|---|
| 🧠 Knowledge Graph | Persistent personal memory that links your notes, people, and projects |
| 🗣️ Voice & Vision | Talk to it and show it images — multimodal by design |
| 💻 Shell Access | Execute commands and automate your machine safely |
| 🌐 Browser Automation | Let it browse, scrape, and fill forms on your behalf |
| ⏰ Scheduled Tasks | Run recurring jobs and reminders without babysitting |
| ❤️ Health Tracking | Log and analyze personal health metrics |
Run It Your Way
Row-Bot runs fully offline using Ollama for local models, or you can opt into cloud models per-component. Either way, your data stays on your machine. The project ships an official Docker image (ghcr.io/siddsachar/row-bot:latest) with a ready-made compose.yaml, so self-hosting takes minutes, not days.
Who Is It For?
Developers who want an open, hackable assistant. Privacy advocates who refuse to ship their conversations to a SaaS dashboard. Tinkerers who want voice, vision, and automation in one self-hosted stack. If you have 4GB of RAM to spare, Row-Bot is worth a weekend.
