Graphiti is primarily focused on extracting and organizing structured facts into a knowledge graph. Rowboat is more focused on day-to-day work. We organize the graph around people, projects, organizations, and topics.

One design choice we made was to make each node human-readable and editable. For example, a project note contains a clear summary of its current state derived from conversations and tasks across tools like Gmail or Granola. It’s stored as plain Markdown with Obsidian-style backlinks so the user can read, understand, and edit it directly.
