Run your shop from ChatGPT, Claude, or the AI you already use

Current as of November 2026.

You make the shop's decisions in your own AI, the one you control, where the rest of your business context already lives. Doing Work keeps the jobs, customers, quotes, invoices and payments. That AI works them.

The first $1,000 you're paid each month is free. Above that we take 0.5%, up to $149 in a month. No subscription.

Doing Work works with any AI assistant that supports MCP connectors, such as Claude, ChatGPT where connectors are available, Grok Bot, and Duet.

A plain chat (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok with nothing connected) can read these docs. It can't see your jobs, and it must not create the shop.

What it is

Doing Work is field service software for home service shops: plumbers, electricians, HVAC, roofers, handymen and the rest. Your agent does the office work you tell it to do. The records stay in Doing Work.

By trade

The jobs are different for a plumber and a cleaner. Each trade page names the work, the repeat visits, and the way a quote is built: AI for home service businesses.

What it works with

Doing Work works with any AI assistant that supports MCP connectors, such as Claude, ChatGPT where connectors are available, Grok Bot, and Duet.

A plain chat (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok with nothing connected) can read these docs. It can't see your jobs, and it must not create the shop.

How a shop connects

  1. Use an agent that keeps working after you close the chat. A chat that stops when closed must not create the shop.
  2. Paste the setup prompt below into that agent. The full steps are on Onboard a shop and Connect an agent.
  3. The agent connects to https://doingwork.work/mcp and you approve it in the browser.
  4. After you approve, a fresh session has to still reach the shop before the agent creates it.

REST is at https://doingwork.work/v1, MCP at https://doingwork.work/mcp and A2A at https://doingwork.work/a2a, all with the same operations and permissions.

"Help me set up Doing Work using https://doingwork.work/docs/onboarding/. I need an always-on agent. Check the connection before proceeding. Use what you know about my business, ask for anything needed for setup, and explain how to use it after setup."
