🟡Low CodeAI Design
Doop is a collaborative design canvas built around AI agents as visible participants. Agents join through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), create frames, write real copy, respond to comments, and review their output while humans steer the work. Claude Code and Codex are named as out-of-the-box clients, and the vendor says any MCP client supporting streamable HTTP and OAuth can connect. The agent keeps running on the model or subscription the user already pays for; Doop supplies the shared canvas rather than another bundled model subscription.
