- Bots can read, check and edit Word, PowerPoint and Excel documents.
- A Bot can propose a new skill or an AGENTS.md update after long work; applied only when you approve.
- Group details can stop all work in the group at once.
- The sidebar can be dragged to resize or folded to an avatar rail; narrow windows fold the Bot panel first.
- Bot views run on the shared Deep View package.

What changed: recent DS-Bot releases
13 stable releases in the last 90 days · Monthly summary · Full changelog
- 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,
- 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,
- 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.
- A message you steer into a running turn shows "Not read yet" under it until the Bot reads it. (#581,
- Old /btw cards left by 0.2.1 can be deleted from the chat. (#550,
- 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…
Earlier releases
- Bots can drive a browser: one Playwright profile per Bot, with sign-ins kept between runs. Posting, uploading, downloading and deleting need your approval first, and payments always go back to…
- /btw is now Side chat: type /side or pick Side chat from the Bot panel's ··· menu and ask follow-ups in the side panel. The panel menu also opens a terminal or the file tree. (#489,
- The desktop app's About page shows whether DS Bot is up to date, downloading or ready to restart, with a Check for updates button. (#499,
- Complete results from delegated Bot work stay available after a restart, including nested handoffs. (#479,
- A delegated reply missed while the plugin restarts is delivered or explained, instead of leaving the wait hanging. (#483,
- Bots can safely retry a named messagebot request without sending the same work twice. (#480,
- 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…
- 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…
- 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)
- Desktop app for Windows and macOS: DeepSeek Bot runs on its own, with its own DeepSeek Harness 0.2.1-rc.2 and its own data, so it does not depend on the DSH you have. You can sign in with your…
- At its first start the desktop app asks where to keep its data and the Bots' files, and offers to copy your Bot team from DeepSeek Harness; your DSH data is only read. Before the copy it reads…
- The Windows desktop app updates itself: it downloads a new release in the background and asks whether to restart now, or installs it at the next quit. The macOS app tells you when a new version is…
- On Windows the desktop app's window has no system frame: the title bar dims with the page under a dialog, and the Bot details panel reaches the top under the window buttons. On Windows 11 its…
- Locations in Settings → General: change the team workspace, where Bots and groups without a folder of their own work; they go on in a fresh part in the new folder. In the desktop app, the data…
- A Main Bot can set a Bot's thinking level, and is told when the model has no such level.
- Bots see what their teammates are doing: listbots says what each other Bot is doing now: waiting for your approval, moving to a fresh conversation, working (in its own chat or which group, for how…
- Hand-offs that come back: a Bot that hands part of a request on to other Bots, or posts in a group and asks for the replies, answers the Bot that asked only once all of it is back, and its answer…
- A Bot's character shows when it waits for teammates to hand back work: it sways with its eyes circling, without the working dot, and its sidebar row says whom it waits for.
- Docker image: run DS Bot on a NAS or another always-on machine, with a Compose file you configure inline, a Linux start script, and a setting to change who owns the data. See docker/README.md.
- Bots are no longer stopped by counts: a chain of six forwarded messages, 10 unread messages, three rounds a Bot starts in one group, and 40 Bot messages since you last wrote no longer apply. The…
- Work handed out in a group chat stays in that group: Bots called there with messagebot work in the group, as with @Name, and Bots outside the group are no longer pulled in through their own chats.
