November 2026

Claude can now work with your projects from a chat, the dashboard shows where every ticket stands, and guided setup takes six steps.

November is about reaching Dutopilot from where you already work, and about seeing where every ticket stands. You can connect Claude to your projects and ask where things stand without opening the dashboard. The dashboard shows every ticket in one stage with one status, and says in plain words why a ticket is paused or waiting for you. Setup is short for new teams, and Dutopilot paces its calls to Notion to stay within its limits.

Dutopilot inside Claude

Add Dutopilot as a connector in Claude, sign in with an email code, then ask where your work stands or act on a ticket from the chat. Claude sees only what your own role allows, and the connection ends after 7 days without use.

Every ticket in one place

Every open ticket has one stage and one status, so the counts add up. You see at a glance what is running, what waits for a free AI place, what only needs you and what is paused.

Three equal project board choices, a set of coloured labels and a shield for the Cautious approvals default.

A shorter setup

Setup lets you choose your project board (GitHub Issues, Jira, Linear, Notion or Azure DevOps), creates your ready and status labels in GitHub for you and lets you choose where a person signs off, and everything else runs on its own. People you invite are signed in by their link.

A site card with four number tiles and trend lines, a line chart with a dashed previous period and three things worth a look.

SEO at a glance

One card per site shows a status, four numbers with their trend and up to three things worth a look. Open a site for a graph that compares this period with the previous one.

Claude and MCP

  • Feature

    Connect Claude to your projects

    Add Dutopilot as a connector in Claude and your assistant can reach your projects from a chat, so you can check on a ticket without opening the dashboard.

  • Feature

    Sign in with an email code, stay in control

    Sign in with a six-digit code sent to your email. Claude then acts as you, with the access your role already gives you. The connection ends after 7 days without use, and you can disconnect at any time in Claude.

  • Feature

    Ask where your work stands

    Ask Claude where one ticket, one project or all your projects stand, and it answers from the same view as your Overview page, so the chat and the dashboard show the same picture. When the list is long it shows the most urgent tickets first and says how many it left out.

  • Feature

    Act on a ticket from the chat

    Claude can take an action on a ticket, such as pausing it, but only one the dashboard offers for that ticket right now and your role allows. If the ticket changed after Claude looked, Claude is told in plain words and shown the actions available now. The action is recorded in the same audit trail as the dashboard and marked as done through Claude.

Dashboard

  • Improvement

    See where a ticket is

    Each open ticket sits in one stage (To do, Plan, Build, Review or Ship) and has one status (Working now, Waiting, Needs you or Paused), so the tab counts add up. A paused ticket stays in the stage it paused in, and a ticket waiting for a free AI place says exactly that.

  • Improvement

    Capacity in one line

    Overview and Runs show one capacity line with how many Dutopilot virtual team members can work and how many wait for a limit reset.

  • Improvement

    Paused and planning at a glance

    A ticket a person stopped shows as paused, apart from a real question waiting for you, and a ticket still being planned shows as planning. Paused has its own status on GitHub Issues and Jira, and on Notion once you choose a status for it.

  • Improvement

    A clear next step when page checks can't run

    When the page checks for a sub-ticket cannot be set up, the dashboard says what happened, who needs to fix it (the site setup, the change or Dutopilot) and the one thing to do, such as checking again or fixing the site setup first.

  • Improvement

    One consistent look for progress

    Every progress bar on the dashboard has the same look, with a rounded track and a rounded fill. Codex usage shows as a bar for each usage window in the AI accounts list.

  • Improvement

    Stay signed in while you work

    A dashboard session lasts 7 days from its last use, on each device on its own.

Setup and accounts

  • Improvement

    Setup asks which project board you use

    Guided setup offers GitHub Issues, Jira, Linear, Notion and Azure DevOps as equal choices, and settles the project board step when you pick one.

  • Improvement

    Join your team in one click

    Someone you invite opens the link and Start setup signs them in and takes them straight to the repository step. If the link was already used, they verify with an emailed code.

  • Improvement

    Labels created for you

    When you take tickets from GitHub Issues, setup creates Dutopilot's ready label and its status labels in your repository, each with a short description, so you can mark an issue ready in GitHub straight away. Labels you already have are left as they are.

  • Improvement

    Six steps, and you choose the sign-offs

    Guided setup has six steps. You choose where a person signs off, if anywhere, and everything else runs on its own. You can change it at any time on the Setup page.

  • Feature

    Early access: GitHub Copilot as an AI account

    Under Setup, AI accounts, choose GitHub Copilot and sign in with the one-time code GitHub shows you. Dutopilot first checks that the account has Copilot and a premium-request allowance, and holds the account if Copilot refuses. Use beyond your plan's allowance is billed by GitHub, within the budget you set there.

SEO

  • Feature

    An SEO dashboard built around your sites

    The SEO area now has one card per site, the ones that need something first. Each card shows a status, four numbers with their change and a trend line, and up to three things worth a look. Open a site for a graph that compares with the previous period, and pages for searches, pages, visitors and the weekly check.

Reliability

  • Improvement

    Built around Notion's limits

    Dutopilot paces its calls to Notion to stay under Notion's limit for each integration. When Notion asks it to slow down, every call on that integration waits, so builds keep going while files are attached to a ticket.

2026.10

October 2026

Rare pauses are resolved in one step, you can answer questions and pause tickets from the dashboard, and merge conflicts are handled for you.

October is about making the rare pause easy to resolve. When Dutopilot needs something from you, it says what happened, whose problem it is and what to do, and it takes the recommended answer itself when that is safe to undo. Merge conflicts are handled for you, and the dashboard lets you answer questions and pause a ticket.

A notice with three numbered lines, an Undo button and a confirmation that the recommended choice was taken.

Rare pauses, resolved in one step

Pauses are rare. When one happens, a notice says what happened and whose problem it is, then the one step that resolves it. When there is a recommended answer that is safe to undo, Dutopilot takes it, tells you and offers an undo.

A question with several radio choices and an Other option, an undo button and a small choice grid.

Answer on the dashboard

Grouped questions show as clear choices with an Other option, and if you prefer another option than the one Dutopilot chose for you, you pick it and the change is made. A ticket you pause stays paused until you resume it, and its page shows why.

A tangled set of branches on the left, a recovery arrow in the middle and a clean merged branch with a check mark on the right.

Merge conflicts handled for you

Dutopilot resolves merge conflicts and replans when needed, so routine snags never become your task.

Notices and approvals

  • Improvement

    Decisions without the wait

    When the planner recommends one answer to a design question, Dutopilot takes it straight away, tells you and offers a one-click undo. A security, scope or cost concern does not hold the ticket for a person when there is a recommended answer. Admins can turn this off on the Setup page.

  • Improvement

    Every failing check named

    When a notice about failing checks has to be shortened, it names as many checks as fit, followed by "and N more".

Dashboard

  • Feature

    Pause a ticket until you're ready

    A ticket's page lets you keep it paused until someone resumes it, so nothing restarts it on its own. After you choose that, the page shows who paused the ticket and why it had stopped before.

  • Feature

    Answer questions and undo choices on the dashboard

    Questions that come in groups show as clear choices with an Other option, and you can answer them from the dashboard. If you prefer another option than the one Dutopilot chose for you, pick it and Dutopilot undoes its choice and applies yours.

Planning and delivery

  • Improvement

    Priority on adopted pull requests

    An adopted pull request shows its priority on its ticket page, including the priority of the linked ticket. An approver or admin can change it with the same four choices as any ticket.

  • Improvement

    Merge conflicts handled for you

    Dutopilot resolves merge conflicts and replans when needed, so routine snags never become your task.
