Insight Beating AI News: Indie developer FeiZ has open-sourced DeepSeek Bot (DS Bot), an unofficial plugin built on DeepSeek Harness (DSH). Once installed, users can create multiple specialized bots, each configured with its own model to execute tasks and collaborate with one another. Each bot features independent sessions and long-term memory, enabling it to recall user preferences. When conversations become lengthy, the plugin automatically compresses context and can search earlier chat records. Memories are stored locally as Markdown files, with team sharing support available. On first launch, the system includes a default "Chief" supervisor bot—users only need to indicate required roles, and it will create other bots and group chats as needed. Group chats default to admin responses, with other members called on demand to avoid all bots participating each time, thus reducing token consumption. Users can also directly @mention specific members. The plugin supports scheduled tasks and token usage tracking by bot and model. It can be installed by entering `ds-bot` in the plugin page of desktop clients, and is also accessible on web versions. The developer plans to add support for local Agent integration in the future. The project is open-sourced under the Apache 2.0 license and remains in the early stages of development.
