Open-source AI automation that unifies agents, flows and 770+ app integrations
Describe a task in everyday words and the agent determines the steps, chooses tools from your connected apps and MCP servers, and pauses for approval on sensitive actions.
Build automations on a canvas with branching, retries, waitpoints, subflows and error handling, then write inline TypeScript for the steps that need real code.
Every piece is MIT-licensed and community-built, covering the apps you already run, with an HTTP piece for any REST or GraphQL endpoint with auth and pagination handled.
Draft flows by chatting, store structured data in Tables that flows and agents can read and write, and keep internal documents searchable by every agent.
High-efficiency open-weight and hosted reasoning AI powered by DeepSeek-V4 and R1 at ultra-low token costs.
Leverages a sparse Mixture-of-Experts architecture (49B active parameters out of 1.6T on V4-Pro) to process up to 1 million tokens with minimal latency and memory overhead.
Pioneered by DeepSeek-R1 and integrated into V3.2 and V4 thinking modes, exposing step-by-step self-verification for complex math, logic, and code debugging.
Drops input token costs to $0.003/1M on Flash and $0.022/1M on V4-Pro for cache hits, with 50% lower rates during off-peak UTC hours.
Provides free access at chat.deepseek.com and on iOS/Android with document uploads, reasoning mode, and web search without paywalling core models.
