Row-Bot Interface

The Row-Bot Interface is the main workspace you see after launch. It combines conversations, Home tabs, status panels, approvals, workflows, Buddy, Settings, and terminal output in one local app window.

Row-Bot main interface.
The main interface shows the left sidebar, Home tabs, central work area, Activity Center, Buddy, Settings, and terminal.
  • Home returns to the Home tabs: Workflows, Designer, Developer, Knowledge, and Monitor.
  • New starts a fresh conversation thread.
  • Conversations shows recent threads. The sidebar keeps the list short so the workspace stays usable; use Show all when you need older threads.
  • Thread menu on a conversation row opens actions such as rename and delete.
  • Rename changes the visible thread title without changing the messages.
  • Delete removes the thread after confirmation. Use it carefully if you still need the conversation history.
  • Agent profiles opens the profile selector and profile management area.
  • Buddy appears near the bottom when enabled.
  • Settings opens the full configuration dialog.

Show All Threads​

When you have more threads than the sidebar shows, use Show All from the conversations area. The dialog is for search and cleanup: find an older thread, reopen it, rename it, or delete it after confirming. Start a new thread when the task has a new goal; continue an existing thread when the earlier context still matters.

Home Tabs​

The central Home area has five tabs:

  • Workflows for saved automations and background agents.
  • Designer for starting design projects.
  • Developer for opening code workspaces and Custom Tools.
  • Knowledge for memory, document, and graph review.
  • Monitor for logs, journals, channel state, and background activity.

Home pages in these docs are short entry-point pages. The dedicated feature pages are the full guides.

Activity Center And Right Drawer​

The right side summarizes what needs attention:

  • Current goals and agents shows running or waiting goal-mode and child-agent activity.
  • Approvals shows pending approval prompts from chats, child agents, and background work.
  • Workflows shows active and upcoming workflow state, plus run and new controls.
  • Launch lets you choose a workflow and run it manually.
  • Insights expands supporting status and suggestions when available.

Use the Activity Center when you want to know whether Row-Bot is idle, waiting for you, running background work, or ready to launch a workflow. Child-agent approvals also appear in the parent thread so you can decide without leaving the conversation.

Terminal Panel​

The terminal panel at the bottom shows command-oriented output when a tool, Developer workspace, or local runtime exposes it through the UI. It is not a general replacement for your system terminal. Command execution still follows Row-Bot's active tool availability, workspace boundaries, and approval mode.

Agent Profiles​

Agent profiles change how Row-Bot behaves for a thread or specialist run. The sidebar profile control opens the profile selector; the detailed walkthrough is in Agent Profiles.

What Is Saved​

Threads, thread names, selected models, profile choices, workflow records, knowledge records, settings, and logs are saved in the local Row-Bot data directory. Some choices are thread-specific; Settings usually changes global app behavior.

Troubleshooting​

  • If a thread is missing from the sidebar, open Show All and search.
  • If a panel looks stale, use the visible refresh control or reload the app.
  • If a button is disabled, check the related Settings tab and Monitor for readiness messages.
