## 🚀 Project Introduction

DeepChat is a powerful open-source AI agent platform that brings together models, tools, and agent runtimes 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.

Beyond chat, DeepChat supports agentic workflows: rich tool calling via MCP (Model Context Protocol), installable Skills for specialized tasks, unique ACP (Agent Client Protocol) integration that lets you run ACP-compatible agents as first-class “models” with a dedicated workspace UI, and remote control from messaging apps.

## 💡 Why Choose DeepChat

Compared to other AI tools, DeepChat offers the following unique advantages:

- **Unified Multi-Model Management**: One application supports almost all mainstream LLMs, eliminating the need to switch between multiple apps
- **Seamless Local Model Integration**: Built-in Ollama support allows you to manage and use local models without command-line operations
- **Agentic Protocol Ecosystem**: Built-in MCP support enables tool calling (code execution, web access, etc.), Skills add reusable task expertise, and built-in ACP support connects external agents into DeepChat with a native workspace UX
- **Powerful Search Enhancement**: Support for multiple search engines makes AI responses more accurate and timely, providing non-standard web search paradigms that can be quickly customized
- **Remote-Ready Workflows**: Control DeepChat sessions from Telegram, Feishu/Lark, QQBot, Discord, and WeChat iLink
- **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
