 "title": "Have the bot read a link or image you send it",
 "page_title": "How to have the bot read a link or image you send it with DeepSeek Bot",
 "summary": "Send the bot a web page or screenshot and get a plain read of what it says, from any messenger it is connected to.",
 "who": "A researcher or marketer who receives links and screenshots in chat and wants a quick read before deciding what to do.",
 "problem": "Opening every link or screenshot to get the gist takes time, and the context often sits in a chat you already have open.",
 "outcome": "The bot reads the page or looks at the image and replies in the conversation with what it found.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rlaope/deepseek-bot/master/install.sh | bash` in a macOS terminal.",
  "Run `dsh gateway setup` and connect a messenger.",
  "Send the bot a direct message with a link and ask for the main points.",
  "Send an image as well, if the model you use accepts images, and ask what it shows."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the repo rlaope/deepseek-bot on a Mac with Node.js 22+, install it with the README's curl command and connect a messenger with `dsh gateway setup`. Send the bot a direct message with <page-url> and ask for the main points; the expected output is a reply in the same thread summarizing the page. Verify that the summary matches the page's actual content by opening the link yourself.",
 "agents": [
  "any"

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says image reading needs a model that accepts images and that pages drawn with JavaScript are read with a headless browser, one page per run.",

 "tags": [
  "Work and operations"
 ],
 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "A Mac running macOS, since the installer and services are macOS only",
  "Node.js 22+",
  "The DeepSeek Harness app, which the installer can download for you",
  "A DeepSeek API key, or a key the harness already has",
  "A bot token from Slack, Telegram or Discord"
