A team of long-lived bots for DeepSeek Harness.
DeepSeek Bot (DS Bot) is a bot plugin for DeepSeek Harness (DSH) that turns DSH into long-lived bots. You create your own bots, then talk and work with them, with bot-to-bot messages and group chats.
The desktop app brings its own DSH, so you do not need to install DSH first. Bots can run tools, keep their own memory and files, and answer side questions while they work.
Added
- The desktop app keeps running in the system tray when you close its window, so Bots go on with their work. Click the tray icon to open the window again, or choose Quit there to end the app. (#500, #549)
- An avatar library in Bot settings and New Bot: import several photos at once and reuse them for any Bot. If some files fail, the others are still imported. (#484, #491)
- When a Bot hands its browser to you for a sign-in, a payment or a check, a card in the chat lets you take over, skip it, or tell the Bot you're done. (#591)
- A message you steer into a running turn shows "Not read yet" under it until the Bot reads it. (#581, #598)
- Old /btw cards left by 0.2.1 can be deleted from the chat. (#550, #555)
Changed
- Long replies are easier to read: in the desktop app, Chinese text uses the system font, lines are a little looser and stay even around inline code, and list items have room between them. The body font you set in DSH still comes first. (#601, #607)
- Attached images and files sit on their own row above the text in the message box. (#565, #566)
- When you steer a queued message into the running turn, the working indicator starts its clock again. (#580, #587)
- A change to a Bot's role or instructions takes effect on its next reply: the Bot is told about it. (#535, #584)
- A new Bot starts on the thinking level of the default model you set in DSH. (#525, #586)
- A group member that is busy reads your correction at its next step, and the answer to a later call still goes back to the one who asked. (#534, #585)
- In an admin-led group, if the only admin who speaks first passes without an answer, the group tells you to call a member with @Name. (#512, #605)
- The Connect plugins button is no longer in the Bot sidebar. Manage connectors in Settings or the account menu. (#452, #570)
- The Bot tool that lists models is now list_bot_models, so DS Bot installs together with plugins that have their own list_models. (#568, #575)
- Buttons on question, secret, approval and model key cards show a focus ring when you move to them with the keyboard. (#614)
Fixed
- The Linux desktop packages can read images. (#542, #544)
- A browser screenshot no longer breaks the Bot's conversation, and a conversation that an earlier screenshot broke works again. (#560, #578)
- The first-run import copies each group's own conversation, so imported groups open. (#551, #567) …

- Desktop app for Linux: one AppImage that runs on every distribution and updates itself, and a deb for Debian and Ubuntu (x64). See Install. (#410, #412)
- Side questions with /btw: in a Bot's own chat, type /btw <question> to ask while it works. The Bot answers from the conversation so far, without stopping its task or running any tool, and the answer stays out of its history. The question and the answer stay as a card in the chat, which you can cancel while it is being answered. (#407, #413)
- Message layout in Settings → General → Appearance: a Bubble width slider (50–100%), and a flat layout that shows a Bot's words without a bubble, under its avatar, name and time, with a Text width of its own. (#380, #446, #447, #448)
- The desktop app has the Bot browser too. Each Bot's sign-ins stay after you quit. (#449, #451)
- In the desktop app you can import cookies into a Bot's browser from a file or from an installed Chrome, Edge or Firefox profile. (#458, #461)
- Bot mode's account menu has a Sign out item for the DeepSeek account. (#398, #425)
- A saved key's purpose can be edited or cleared in Settings → Secrets. (#387, #435)
- Bots can draw charts, small calculators whose numbers update as you drag, and custom sandboxed views in their replies. (#468, #471)
Changed
- Chat bubbles widen with the window instead of stopping at a fixed width. (#380, #447) …
