What is it?

Do Computer provides agents called Doods, each with a name, memory, a personality profile and computers to work on. A reply continues after the browser tab is closed, and Doods can run tasks on a schedule, load saved skills, and connect to remote MCP servers or third-party apps such as Gmail, Calendar, Notion and GitHub.

A Dood can run commands and edit files on a built-in shell or on Linux machines from Daytona, Modal or Cloudflare Containers, and can also work on a computer the user pairs through a daemon. Each permission can be set to Allow, Ask first or Never. Several people can share Doods, chats and files, and a Dood can be connected to Slack.

The same codebase runs on plain Node with SQLite or on Cloudflare Workers with Durable Objects. Models are reached through OpenRouter or a provider the user signs in to. The project ships a web app, an Electron desktop app and an Expo mobile app.
