Dooit is agent-operable: connect your agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client) to a user's Dooit account and it can read their board, agenda, projects and goals, then create, reschedule, complete, archive and delete tasks on their behalf — with the user's own permissions, in the user's own timezone.
