Description
Enhanced UX layer for DeepSeek with hidden prompts, tools, memory, document generation, and long-work packaging. Better DeepSeek is a powerful extension that transforms the DeepSeek chat interface into a full-fledged development and productivity studio. It works by intercepting your prompts and injecting a hidden system layer, allowing DeepSeek to utilize a suite of specialized tools and tags without cluttering the visible conversation. 🛠️ IN-BROWSER TOOLS & VISUALIZERS • Python Runner: Execute Python scripts (via Pyodide) with data analysis and plotting capabilities. • Office Generators: Ask DeepSeek to generate .pptx (PowerPoint), .xlsx (Excel), and .docx (Word) files instantly. • Minimalist Visualizer: Built-in physics, math, and logic simulators for better conceptual understanding. 📦 LONG-WORK & AUTO-ZIPPING Tired of copying and pasting code across 15 different files? Ask DeepSeek to build a full project. The extension will silently capture all generated files and package them into a single, neat .zip archive ready for download. 🧠 PERSISTENT MEMORY & PERSONAS • Silent Memory: DeepSeek learns your preferences, tech stack, and ongoing projects across sessions. • Custom Characters: Ask the AI to create a specific roleplay character or specialized expert persona. The extension automatically saves it to your Character Library, allowing you to switch between different personalities or specialized agents with a single click. • Skill Management: Save your most frequently used prompts, workflows, or complex tool instructions as reusable "Skills". Quickly inject them into your chat without retyping them every time. 🎙️ VOICE & ACCESSIBILITY (NEW) Voice Prompts (STT): Dictate your prompts directly using the built-in microphone tool. It supports auto-submission for a completely hands-free experience. Voice Responses (TTS): Have DeepSeek read its responses back to you. Perfect for long explanations or when you're multitasking. 🔒 PRIVACY FIRST & OPEN SOURCE Your data belongs to you. The extension operates entirely within your browser, parsing standard DOM elements and leveraging local APIs.
