Do I Get Claude for Free with myDoo? — How myDoo Works With LLMs

When people first see myDoo, one question comes up naturally.

"If I install myDoo, does Claude come bundled in? So I'm using Claude for free?"

Let's clear that up first. No.

myDoo runs on top of an LLM

myDoo is a workspace that runs on an LLM (large language model). The power behind everything myDoo does comes from the LLM working inside it.

That default LLM is Claude Code. When you run myDoo, Claude Code is what's working. Ask the AI to do something, and by default Claude Code does it.

Here's the key part — to use Claude Code, you sign up for Claude yourself, and you use it on your own Claude plan. myDoo doesn't buy Claude for you or throw it in for free. A myDoo user running Claude means it runs on your own Claude account and subscription.

Codex and Gemini are extensions

myDoo isn't limited to Claude alone. You can work with three AIs, each good at different things — Claude Code is the base, and once you install the extensions, Codex and Gemini join in.

The principle is the same for the extensions. To use Codex, you sign up with Codex; to use Gemini, you sign up with Gemini — each on its own plan. myDoo is the environment that sits on top and puts them to work; it isn't a place that sells you access to the AI.

Claude Code is the base. Codex and Gemini are nice to have, not required. myDoo runs perfectly well on Claude alone. You don't have to gather all three.

When a connection fails

Base or extension, the shared condition is one thing — you need to be signed up for that service, on the plan level it requires, for it to connect inside myDoo.

If it won't connect, check in this order.

• Check your plan. Make sure your subscription is active at the tier that AI requires. Failed connections usually come down to this.
• Check that each one launches in your terminal. If Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini run fine from your terminal, they'll work inside myDoo too.

Usually, if you're already using the service, it just works with no extra steps. Sometimes the chat window will ask you to log in — when it does, follow the prompt and you're connected.

So what does myDoo do?

If you already use Claude — you work in myDoo with that same access. Nothing new to sign up for, nothing to pay twice.

What myDoo does is take the LLMs you already pay for and — instead of you traveling out to websites — bring them right into your folder, onto your desk, to work. The LLM is the tool; myDoo is the workplace that puts that tool to proper use.

In one line

• The LLMs (Claude · Codex · Gemini) = you sign up, on your own plan. myDoo doesn't hand them out free.
• Claude Code = myDoo's base. Runs on your own Claude account.
• Codex & Gemini = extensions if you want them; Claude alone is plenty.
• myDoo = the place that brings those LLMs into your folder, onto your desk, to work — not giving them away, but putting them to proper use.

The Claude you already use stays the same. What changes is where it works.
