Editor Review

Instead of uploading the same files into a chat box, the agent works inside the folders already on the computer. The file manager can search globally, preview in a split view, and take a dragged file into chat to produce a new file. Its own browser researches without taking over the window you are using, can carry Chrome sign-in, and saves the result locally. One task can be handed across models or sites, with the artifact returned to your folder. A workspace remembers files, browser, chat, and layout when you leave and come back. After a calendar sync, an event can prepare work ahead of time and drop a bundle of files. It fits individuals and one-person teams running long tasks across local files and the web.

What is Floatboat

Floatboat is a desktop agent workstation from AOE Tech Labs for Mac and Windows. It keeps models, files, a browser, tools, and memory in one workspace: you state a goal, and it can find, edit, and save files on your computer. The built-in file manager offers global search, split view, and multi-format preview. Its own browser can research on the web without taking over yours, and it can inherit Chrome sign-in, bookmarks, and history. Different models can hand a task along, and each workspace remembers files, chat, and layout. Web apps and calendar events can also become repeating workflows.

Floatboat Key Features

Work on local files

Search, split, and preview in the file manager, drag a file into chat, and keep the new file on the machine.

A separate research browser

The built-in browser can run web tasks on its own and inherit Chrome sign-in, bookmarks, and history.

Hand off across models

One task can move across models and sites, with the result saved locally. The page cites Claude, GPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek examples.

Workspaces that keep state

Each workspace remembers its files, browser, chat, and layout, so leaving and returning continues the same state.

Calendar-driven repeats

After a calendar sync, events can prepare work and produce files, and a chat or calendar item can become a repeating flow.

Floatboat Key Advantages

Files stay in local folders, where the file manager can search, split, and preview them without an upload-and-download round trip

The built-in browser can inherit Chrome sign-in, bookmarks, and history, then save research back to a local file

One task can be handed across models and sites, with the artifact returned to your folder instead of staying in a web tab

Each workspace remembers files, browser, chat, and layout, so you can resume where you left off

Floatboat Use Cases

Drafts from local files

A person searches their own folders and has the workstation read files and write a new document without uploading first.

Research while signed in

For pages that require sign-in, the built-in browser inherits Chrome state, then saves the findings as a local file.

Recurring briefings

Put a daily check on the calendar so materials are prepared on time and saved into a chosen folder.

Frequently Asked Questions

▶How is this different from a normal chat window?

The page stresses that files do not have to be uploaded over and over. The file manager searches, splits, and previews, and the agent reads local files and saves new ones back. Its browser can go online on its own and carry Chrome sign-in. Models can change while files, pages, and the workspace stay put.

▶Do files remain if I switch models?

Yes. The page says you can switch models per task, with Claude, GPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek examples, while files, pages, chat history, and the current workspace stay where they are. Switching models changes the worker, not the account that holds the files. The live client list is the source for which models you can pick.

▶Can a calendar event become a repeating job?

Yes. After a calendar sync, an event can prepare work ahead of time and produce a file bundle in a folder you choose, rather than only reminding you. A chat line or a calendar item can also become a repeating scheduled flow, such as a daily review list. This runs in the desktop app; the page does not say a closed computer continues the job in the cloud.
