## 🚀 Project Introduction
DeepChat is a powerful open-source, local-first AI agent desktop client that brings together models, tools, Skills, agent runtimes, Tape, and long-running sessions in one desktop app. Whether you're using cloud APIs like OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, or locally deployed Ollama models, DeepChat delivers a smooth user experience.
DeepChat's sessions and agent processes follow the Tape.systems philosophy: keep the process, so context, tool calls, requests, and results stay recoverable, traceable, and inspectable. It also provides strong MCP support, installable Skills, ACP agent integration, and remote control for Telegram, Feishu/Lark, QQBot, Discord, WeChat iLink, and other messaging workflows.
## 💡 Why Choose DeepChat
Compared to other AI tools, DeepChat offers the following unique advantages:
Local-First Agent Desktop Client: Run DeepChat agents, ACP agents, and remote-ready bots in one local app
Tape.systems Philosophy: Preserve recoverable session history, trace request context, and inspect token budgets when agent work gets complex
Skills That Travel: Install, import, export, and enable reusable Skills per conversation for code review, documents, frontend work, Office/PDF tasks, and more
Native ACP Integration: Run ACP-compatible coding and task agents as first-class entries in the model selector
Strong MCP Support: Support Resources, Prompts, Tools, multiple transports, inMemory services, and one-click installation
Remote-Ready Workflows: Control DeepChat sessions from Telegram, Feishu/Lark, QQBot, Discord, and WeChat iLink
Unified Multi-Model Management: One application supports mainstream cloud LLMs and local Ollama models, eliminating the need to switch between multiple apps
Privacy-Focused: Local data storage and network proxy support reduce the risk of information leakage
Business-Friendly: Embraces open source under the Apache License 2.0, suitable for both commercial and personal use
