What it does
DeepChat is a free desktop app that brings different AI models together. You can use online services like OpenAI, Gemini and Anthropic, or models running on your own computer through Ollama.
Beyond chat, it supports tools through MCP (a standard way to connect AI to other apps), add-on skills and AI agents. It keeps a recoverable record of each session so you can look back at what happened.
Who it's for
Anyone who wants one app for chatting with several AI models, including local ones.
Can I use it without coding?
