Now when you turn on your mobile phone,”whether you pick up DeepSeek” has almost become a name for domestic Internet products. Even ramen shops have replaced the “highly recommended by public reviews” with DeepSeek certification.
From search to content creation, from large manufacturers to independent developers, AI products with different application scenarios and different development backgrounds are being connected to DeepSeek in batches. Among them, there are WeChat, the core mainline product of major Internet companies like Tencent; Xiaohongshu’s independent AI native search product “Diandian”; and there are also niche products like Monica launched by independent developers that have a place in the AI application market.
Even the top priority byte has been revealed to be considering connecting DeepSeek to its AI video creation platform, Dream AI. According to “Late”, the overflow of demand and linked gameplay brought about by the explosion of DeepSeek have caused the number of users of Instant Dream to grow rapidly around the Spring Festival. For example, the gameplay “DeepSeek releases video scripts + Instant Dream videos” once won a lot of likes and attention on social media. QuestMobile data shows that Jiemeng’s weekly activity at the end of December last year was about 760,000, and as of mid-February it was close to 2 million, an increase of nearly three times in a month and a half.
When DeepSeek became the new traffic password, we found that some products appeared on the market that “sold dog meat”. These products are ostensibly labeled as “access to DeepSeek”, but in fact they are just used to channel and monetize their own products. Many products are more gimmicky than practical in use, or the connected DeepSeek is not a full-blooded version of 671B parameters, which is greatly reduced and fails to bring significant user experience improvement to the original product.
At a time when Internet applications are competing to be a “DeepSeek shell”, which one is “easy to use” rather than a gimmick? We have carefully compiled a product list, covering high-frequency usage scenarios for C-end users such as search, office efficiency, content creation and dialogue assistants. (The full text refers to the DeepSeek-R1 deep thinking model unless there is no special explanation)
Of course, there are more targeted and segmented tracks for products and companies connected to DeepSeek. However, considering the use threshold, we have eliminated end-side applications that require support from specific hardware devices (such as mobile phones and in-vehicle AI assistants). The following four types of products connected to DeepSeek not only cover the productivity needs of daily life and work, but also meet the needs of entertainment and DeepSeek.
Search/Platform
Search was the first application scenario to integrate DeepSeek. Whether it is AI-native search products or Baidu Search, which was born in the era of Internet portals, DeepSeek R1 has been integrated into their own products in the more than a month after its official open source release.
Although Mita AI Search, Tiangong AI Search, Nano AI Search and Perplexity AI are all AI native search products, each has its own focus on product positioning, team expertise areas and specific functions.
For example, the available range of Minita AI search information covers five channels: the entire network, libraries, academic, pictures and podcasts. Among them, podcast is a search channel that is relatively rare among other AI search products. It is convenient to use. Users can search and organize high-quality podcast content with one click through the AI search +R1 deep thinking mode, and efficiently obtain knowledge learning paths on specific topics.

The uniqueness of Tiangong AI Search is that it connects to a professional financial database, which has advantages in real-time financial data query, listed company financial reports and financial and business analysis.

Perplexity AI is suitable for information mining on foreign social media platforms such as Youtube and Reddit. In addition, it has recently launched an “in-depth research” function, which combines DeepSeek R1 ‘s reasoning capabilities with its self-developed real-time data capture engine to perform well in handling complex tasks of interdisciplinary and multi-source information integration.

For such AI-native products, the access to DeepSeek R1 will bring more improvements to the underlying model. This improvement may be intuitively reflected in the user experience: You will feel that “AI has become smarter.”
As a giant in the traditional domestic search market, Baidu Search has also opened its AI search portal under the pressure of DeepSeek. This may become the first time that more people use AI search and an important step in promoting AI inclusiveness.
In addition, there is also a content platform for accessing DeepSeek. In addition to WeChat directly opening up an AI search portal in its products, Zhihu and Xiaohongshu both chose to develop AI search products separately to seize this opportunity. The advantage of content platforms in doing searches next is that they can not only better integrate and revitalize their own content ecosystem, but also provide users with a high-quality information search experience for specific content pools.
For example, the AI search product “Diandian” App launched by Xiaohongshu has been available in the past two days due to its connection to DeepSeek’s crazy iteration (updating the App to 1.17.1). Combined with Xiaohongshu’s UGC note ecology and R1’s in-depth thinking ability, the content generated by Diandian is quite similar to “Xiaohongshu” and focuses on practicality. For example, we asked it to “comment critically on Shanghai Wukang Road”, and the answer it gave included detailed travel strategies.
Office and Efficiency
Before the wave of generative AI swept, the functions of traditional office software had become homogeneous, so AI capabilities became the key to the differentiation of each family. The office software after being connected to DeepSeek is even more slippery and it looks like it has been turned on, and automated office work is not a dream.
Take WPS, the old office software, as an example. Just click the “Lingxi AI” icon on the left sidebar to experience using DeepSeek R1 for online search, content creation, summary documents, analysis data, etc. Its core advantage is mainly the depth of Office. Compatible, the AI enhancement tool chain is one-stop.
As we all know, when we use the generative AI dialogue assistant, we often enter prompt words with a single click, but Flying Book’s smart form can be implemented based on DeepSeek-R1.”Input once, batch processing”。
We first create a new multi-dimensional table, add a new column, select DeepSeek-R1 in the “Field”, and then set a global command in the “Configuration”. For example, what we set here is “Generate a segment of cultural video based on the provided keywords. Prompt words, required to include the description of the main body of the video, actions, environment, scene, and mirror operation method.”
You can also check whether the setting needs to display the thinking process, output results and reference links. Here we only checked “Output results”.
In this way, you only need to enter keywords in the text field in the first column, and DeepSeek-R1 can automatically execute the newly set global instructions in batches and output the corresponding prompt words. By the way, it also saves the need to organize them into video prompt words documents to facilitate future reuse. trouble.
BibiGPT is an application specializing in audio and video processing service Media Processing Service. Its main function is audio and video content summary. It can analyze audio and video content on platforms such as Station B, YouTube, Douyin/TikTok, Xiaohongshu with one click, and generate summaries, mind maps and subtitle files. You can select the large language model to use in “Summary Settings”. After summarizing, it supports export to Markdown, PDF and other formats.
In addition, BibiGPT also supports positioning questions on key video segments and implements in-depth questions and answers based on DeepSeek-R1. Its scenario coverage is also relatively comprehensive, providing browser plug-ins, desktop clients and iOS shortcuts.
Dingling’s integration with DeepSeek mainly focuses on AI enterprise search. Based on DeepSeek-R1, it enables faster and more accurate natural language queries, including rapid cross-platform retrieval of internal enterprise documents, meeting minutes, process approval information, etc.
In addition to the office/efficiency software mentioned above, DeepSeek-R1 has also provided content creation, search, translation and other functions as a built-in AI assistant in Tencent Documents, Microsoft Edge, and Yuque applications.
Content Creation
This type of product focuses on the case of introducing DeepSeek into vertical content creation tools.
Currently, the content creation tools on the market connected to DeepSeek are mixed, and we have selected two representative products with clear model call options.
Reading Writer Assistant is an auxiliary tool for online writing launched by Reading Group. On February 5, the reader assistant announced the integration of the independently deployed DeepSeek R1, which has been enhanced in terms of prompt word understanding, plot deduction and descriptive polishing. During the actual measurement, the reader assistant has a networking function, which can provide new inspiration for content creation based on recent information.
In terms of specific use, you can call DeepSeek to generate content based on different content written online, such as appearance, scene, fighting and emotional description. DeepSeek is known for its Chinese writing ability. After third-party products with text content creation as the core are connected to DeepSeek, users can clearly experience the progress of AI from the application layer.
https://zuojia.write.qq.com/(Supports Windows, Mac and mobile)
However, the DeepSeek call service currently provided by the reader assistant is not stable and occasionally requires multiple attempts to successfully generate content. There are also clear limit on model calls.
Kuaiying is an editing software launched by Quick Hand (only supports mobile). After recently connecting to DeepSeek, it launched related UGC creative activities.
Due to the different modalities, the biggest role of DeepSeek in accessing video creation applications such as Snapchat is reflected in copy generation.
For example, the built-in “AI help writing” function of Snapshadow has been fully DeepSeek. You can now directly print video scripts supported by DeepSeek’s strong writing capabilities with one click in Snapshots.
However, our actual measurement found that DeepSeek, which is connected to, does not yet have networking capabilities. Some content that needs to be output in conjunction with current affairs hot spots is not suitable for direct generation in the “AI Help Writing” of the movie. AI will fabricate a large amount of false information.
Dialogue Assistant
AI Dialogue Assistant is another type of vanguard in accessing DeepSeek R1, once again confirming the ecological potential of open source AI models.
Compared with the high API costs of closed-source models (such as GPT-4), DeepSeek’s open ecosystem is obviously more suitable for small and medium-sized manufacturers to quickly test their AI capabilities, and the latter are even expected to form differentiated competitiveness through customized optimization.
Huawei Xiaoyi recently launched a web version and opened the website (https://xiaoyi.huawei.com/chat/). There are two modes: “Automatic Deep Thinking” and “Forced Deep Thinking”. Select “Intensify Deep Thinking” to ensure that you are calling DeepSeek, the full-blooded version of the Internet.
Monica is talked about by insiders as a successful case of AI entrepreneurship going overseas. It was originally a Google Chrome browser plug-in based on ChatGPT. After installation, it can call out the AI assistant through the shortcut keys Ctrl+M or Cmd+M for dialogue, text summary, translation and explanation, etc.
Just recently, Monica launched the domestic version of monica.cn, which is based on DeepSeek-R1 and V3 models and has real-time online search and memory capabilities.
In the field of e-commerce applications, the “What’s Worth Buying” App also announced that it has connected to DeepSeek-R1, but the official did not disclose the specific access location. According to our observation, DeepSeek-R1 should be integrated into the “AI Shopping Assistant Small Value” in the application to provide users with product word-of-mouth inquiries, product reviews, preferential information, and product recommendations based on user needs.
In the field of AI programming, Cursor and Tongyi Lingma have also connected to DeepSeek-R1. In order to test the programming levels of DeepSeek-R1, Claude-3.5, and o3-mini-high, the CEO of JinaAI once challenged the three to create a JavaScript animation. The requirements were:
Letters appear randomly from the top of the screen and vary in size.
Letters should have realistic physical effects to simulate the falling process.
Letters should collide with each other and bounce off as they fall.
The speed and angle at which the letters fall should be random.
Letters should disappear at the bottom of the screen or out of the viewports.
Animations should have good performance and be suitable for modern browsers.
From this comparison video, you can intuitively see the programming skills and animation effects of DeepSeek-R1.
written in the end
Different from the AI application wave led by ChatGPT in 2023, the open source application ecosystem formed by DeepSeek has the tendency of “one whale falling all things”. As the first domestic model to attract a lot of attention around the world, DeepSeek’s breaking circle has not only affected the application layer of large models, but also driven the accelerated application of generative AI in thousands of domestic industries.
Although many C-side consumer applications connected to DeepSeek are not yet mature and still need to iterate on multimodal interactions such as voice and image, there are still typical cases such as Tencent Yuanbao that quickly climbed the rankings with DeepSeek’s sky-breaking traffic.
It can be said that after the explosion of DeepSeek, domestic AI head applications are facing a new round of reshuffle.
Starting from February 22, Tencent Yuanbao surpassed Byte’s AI application bean bag in Apple’s free app rankings and jumped to second place in the free App download rankings of the Apple App Store in China. As of press time, Tencent Yuanbao still maintained second place on the list, second only to DeepSeek app.
Earlier, Kimi, who was once very popular, also dropped to fifth place on the list, even worse than 360 ‘s nano-AI search connected to DeepSeek.
Faced with Tencent Yuanbao’s catch-up, it was revealed on February 25 that Zi could not sit still was testing a self-developed in-depth thinking model on a small scale of bean buns, while Jimeng AI was considering connecting to DeepSeek. According to “Late”, Doubao is responsible for Flow, the main AI department of Byte, and is Byte’s star product on the C-side application in the past year. Different from Doubao, Dream was taken over by Zhang Nan, who was once CEO of Douyin Group. It is another important AI product owned by Byte, mainly for AI video generation and creation, and shoulders the heavy responsibility of recreating “Douyin” in the AI era.
Whether or not to connect to DeepSeek and how to connect to DeepSeek, for many small and medium-sized application-level companies and independent developers, they can choose to become DeepSeek’s “shell applications” without hesitation to welcome “splashing traffic”; while for large Internet companies with self-developed basic models, they represent different strategic choices.
After answering these two questions, the next more important question is-how to transform the technology dividend into real user experience and business value. The wave of AI application build-up launched by DeepSeek will continue.
