DSH Agent Enhancer Addendum: Moving Web Chat into Your Desktop Session

The 0.3.10 release adds exactly one thing: web chat.

Why it exists

When you open chat.deepseek.com, you usually aren't there to get work done. You ask something offhand, paste a paragraph, think out loud — it's ordinary conversation.

Ideas tend to surface in that loose mode. Somewhere in the middle of it you think, "this could actually become something." And what you need at that moment is the context scattered across the last few dozen turns: how I framed it, what I tried, where I got stuck. It's all on the web page — but the place where you can actually act on it is the desktop app.

Copy-pasting it over means dropped pieces and shuffled order, and you clean up the mess yourself. It usually ends one of two ways: you drop the idea, or you re-explain everything from scratch in the desktop app.

0.3.10 turns that chore into one click: the conversation becomes a titled session in the desktop app, context included, and you keep going.

Web chat: embedded in the sidebar, one click to the workspace

What it does

A web chat entry in the left sidebar. Click it and chat.deepseek.com loads inline — no browser switch, no separate window, same place as your session list. You sign in once; the session is kept locally, so you don't log in again.

The core is "To workspace". Once the web conversation is worth keeping, this moves it into the desktop app:

  1. Pick the source: the current conversation, or paste a share link

  2. Check the preview to confirm what's being imported

  3. Choose a target workspace (or create one)

  4. The desktop app opens a titled session you can keep working in

So the plans, outlines and lists you talked through on the web become a session that can call tools, edit files and roll back — no more copy-paste.

Two things to know

Prefer share links. Scraping the current page can come back incomplete; a share link usually gets the full thread. If you want fewer surprises, use the share link.

It's still web quota. This feature moves content over. It does not wire your web quota into the local API — model calls from the desktop app still take the route they always did.

Toggle and updating

It's webChatBridge on the Features page, on by default — turn it off in Settings if you don't want it.

If you already have it installed, check for updates under Settings → Built-in plugins → Agent Enhance → About, or install 0.3.10 over the top, then fully quit and restart the desktop app.

Roadmap

Two tracks from here: polish what's already shipped, and Computer Use.

1. Polishing existing features

The feature set is mostly in place. The next round isn't about adding more — it's about making each of the delivered capabilities smoother. No new entry points this cycle; the focus is on how the existing ones feel. Less friction beats more switches.

2. Computer Use

The biggest piece after the Browser Agent: letting the agent operate desktop applications and windows beyond the browser.

It deliberately comes after the browser — desktop control carries a higher risk of unintended actions. First the guardrails get proven in the browser (changes need approval, login walls stop and wait for you, everything stays interruptible), then they move to the desktop. Computer Use follows the same direction: controllable actions, approval for critical steps, no automatic bypass of logins or captchas.
