dothething launches as a terminal-native autonomous AI agent
dothething is a local terminal-first agent that takes a plain-English task, plans the work, and executes it across research, browser automation, shell commands, file editing, and email. Its core appeal is breadth and autonomy: it combines cheap model routing with escalation, stealth browser handling, parallel orchestration, and self-management so it can keep moving on multi-step work with minimal handholding.
// ANALYSIS
Hot take: this is less “chat with a coding assistant” and more “give the machine a job and let it run,” which makes it interesting for anyone trying to operationalize agents outside the IDE.
- –The product is built around autonomous execution, not just suggestion, with planning, tool use, and final output baked into the workflow.
- –Browser automation via Camoufox and SearXNG gives it a practical research-and-web-investigation layer beyond terminal-only agents.
- –The model-routing story is sensible: cheap models handle most work, with GPT-5.5 escalation for harder reasoning.
- –Orchestrator mode and parallel agents are the differentiators if it holds up in practice, especially for long-running multi-step tasks.
- –Email automation and self-management push it toward a general-purpose local operator rather than a niche coding tool.
