Dothething turns terminal into autonomous operator
Dothething is a local autonomous AI agent that handles web research, shell commands, file edits, and email from the terminal. It can escalate harder tasks to stronger models and resume long-running work across sessions.
This looks less like a chatbot and more like an operator shell for real workflows, which is the right direction for agentic tools that need to survive beyond demos.
- –The combination of web browsing, shell access, file edits, and email gives it enough surface area to do actual ops work, not just code assistance
- –MCP support and Claude Code-style skills make it extensible, but they also make setup and maintenance more complex than a simple CLI wrapper
- –The model-routing setup is sensible: cheap delegation for grunt work, stronger-model escalation when the task gets stuck or ambiguous
- –Local-first execution is a real selling point for privacy and control, though OpenRouter still means it is not fully self-contained
- –For AI developers, the interesting part is the workflow design: persistence, resumability, and tool orchestration matter more than raw prompt quality
