Floatboat
Floatboat is a calendar-driven agent runtime that transforms scheduled events into automated workflows. Unlike reactive chat-based AI assistants, Floatboat proactively executes tasks based on your calendar. It reads time, prepares materials ahead of meetings, drafts content before deadlines, and follows up after events — operating like a reliable operator for your weekly schedule. It works with any calendar service including Google Calendar, Notion Calendar, Outlook, and iCloud via ICS feeds. Each calendar block acts as a trigger for an AI agent, with a persistent workspace that stores files, run history, model choices, and decisions. The desktop application (available for Mac and Windows) enables coordination across devices and among team members through a shared workspace interface called FloatIM. Floatboat integrates with over 3,500 tools, including Notion, Slack, GitHub, and other APIs, allowing users to orchestrate complex multi-tool workflows from a single calendar entry. It is designed for solo entrepreneurs and small teams who want to automate repetitive work without constant manual input. The software is currently at version 0.4.0 and positioned as a productivity layer that shifts the paradigm from chat-driven AI to schedule-driven automation, appealing to users leaving large tech companies to build independently.
