Thanks! I believe I can add Deepseek support pretty easily. Atticus runs on Claude Code, and Claude Code can point to any server that uses Claude's API. DeepSeek has one so I added a Custom server option in Settings > Intelligence > Custom server. Put in https://api.deepseek.com/anthropic, your DeepSeek key, and deepseek-chat as the model. Same thing works for Ollama or LM Studio.

One thing is that DeepSeek's API doesn't take images, so anything where Atticus has to look at your screen won't work on it. Opening apps, music, web stuff, and shell commands are fine. I'll push this in an upcoming update.

Yeah, that's pretty much how it goes. It doesn't continuously check if a shortcut has gone stale. Instead, if a shortcut is called and fails, most of the time Claude will have already added a check to see if a shortcut was successfully completed, and if it does fail, it'll check why and rebuild it. The user can also point out the failure, and the same thing will happen.

Thank you so much!

Most daily commands like launching and moving around sites/apps happen without AI, but I agree with the privacy concern and will definitely look into utilizing local AI.

Smaller models, like Haiku, I have found to already struggle during multi-step tasks, so I expect local model capabilities to reduce performance further.

I'll look into how OOMU splits their work up, but what local model would you suggest starting with?

Thank you! I'll probably be focusing on polishing the Claude side of things, but that'll definitely be an add-on in the future.

Awesome! I'll be sure to link your fork in my readme. I'm curious what problems arose when you ported it?
