What is it?

DeepSeek Bot (DS Bot) is a plugin for DeepSeek Harness (DSH) that turns DSH into a set of persistent bots. You create your own bots, each with its own chat, model choice and memory, and work with them in one window.

A main bot called Chief manages the other bots and group chats, and walks you through setup on first launch. Group chats have an admin bot that answers by default and calls in other bots; any bot can hand work to another with @ and post results back to the group. Bots can use shared MCP servers, skills and packs that you add in Settings. Usage statistics show token consumption by time, bot and model.

DS Bot runs as a DSH plugin or as a desktop app for Windows and macOS, and can also be deployed with Docker on a NAS or Linux server. All data is stored locally in the DSH home folder.
