Floatboat

What is Floatboat

Floatboat is an AI Agent workspace launched by AOE Tech Labs, positioned as the "first AI work operating system built for the one-person company (OPC)". The product's core Flow Mode presents files, browser, and AI conversations side by side, enabling seamless context flow; the Tacit Engine silently learns the user's work style. Floatboat covers an AI scheduling assistant, file manager, FloatIM communication network, and Skills marketplace, integrates 3,500+ tools, and supports multi-model orchestration.

Floatboat's main features

• Flow Mode: Supports presenting files, browser, and AI conversations side by side, with information freely draggable and flowing between panels, without repeated uploading and downloading.
• AI scheduling assistant: Calendar blocks are Agent execution units, automatically planning time blocks for preparation, drafting, and follow-up, providing a briefing before meetings and producing minutes after them.
• AI file manager: Directly connects to local and cloud file systems; the Agent can directly read and write local files and supports preview and editing of multiple formats.
• FloatIM communication network: People and Agents, and Agents and Agents, collaborate in the same network, with multiple Agents automatically dividing work to advance tasks.
• Skills marketplace: Packages repetitive workflows into one-click-start Combo Skills, integrating 3,500+ tools.
• Tacit Engine™: Silently observes the user's work habits, builds a personalized style model, and makes the AI understand you better the more you use it.

How to use Floatboat

• Access and installation: Visit the Floatboat official website https://floatboat.ai/ , download the macOS or Windows native client, and complete installation.
• Connect account services: In settings, bind calendar accounts such as Google, Outlook, and iCloud as well as cloud storage services such as iCloud Drive, so the Agent can access schedules and files.
• Enable Flow Mode: After starting Flow Mode, freely arrange the file manager, browser, and AI conversation panels, with support for up to four columns side by side, and information can be dragged and flow directly between panels.
• Configure the AI scheduling assistant: Tell the AI scheduling assistant the specific tasks to be delivered this week, and it will automatically plan time blocks on the calendar for preparation, drafting, overnight runs, and follow-up.
• Manage local files: Directly browse, preview, and edit local files in the AI file manager; the Agent can read local file contents in real time and automatically perform related operations.
• Save a Combo Skill: After completing a repetitive workflow, save it as a Combo Skill, and the next time you encounter a similar task, you can start automated execution with one click.
• Collaborate via FloatIM: Collaborate and communicate with multiple Agents in the FloatIM communication network; Agents will automatically divide work to advance tasks and request confirmation from you at key nodes.

Floatboat's core advantages

• Flow Mode: Files, browser, and AI conversations are presented side by side, and information can be freely dragged and flow between panels, without repeated uploading and downloading.
• Local-first architecture: The Agent directly reads and writes local files; after operations are completed, the files remain on your computer, and data sovereignty belongs entirely to you.
• Calendar as runtime: The AI scheduler turns calendar blocks into Agent execution units, automatically completing preparation, drafting, and follow-up rather than merely giving time reminders.
• Tacit Engine silent learning: Continuously observes the user's editing, decision-making, and execution habits, building a personalized work style model that understands you better the more you use it.
• Multi-Agent collaboration network: FloatIM lets humans and Agents, and Agents and Agents, divide labor and collaborate within the same communication network, confirming with the user only at key nodes.
• One-person company native design: Built from the ground up for independent workers, enabling one person plus a group of Agents that understand you to independently run a company.
