Deep Sea Carnage just got a massive new update. It makes your AI agents way more powerful. The brand new V02 just dropped, and it's completely free. You can now run your own AI agent, run your own desktop, Mac or Windows, one click and you're in. This means you can have an AI employee working for you around the clock, building things for you, organizing your files, making your presentations, doing the boring work whilst you do whatever you want. And here's the best part, you can even plug in free AI models too, so the whole thing is free. Now, there's one thing you absolutely have to do when you set this up, and most people miss it. I'll show you that later in this video. I'm also going to show you the plugin library. It lets you customize everything and the new feature that runs tasks for you on a schedule automatically, even whilst you sleep. By the end of this video, you'll have your own free AI employee inside Hermes desktop, set up and working for you. Let's get into it. So DeepSeek Harness v0.2 just dropped from DeepSeek. And one of the biggest updates with this is the new harness is available now on desktop. So previously you had to kind of run it in your terminal, and then you'd open up in your browser. It was kind of messy. You can now get it for free with DeepSeek Harness on desktop. And I'll show you how to get that today. I'll also walk you through some of the biggest differences, what's changed, how you can use it. One of the best things about DeepSeek Harness itself is that it is very customizable. If you saw, for example, Cloud Code Mods that just dropped recently, where you can customize the plugins and everything else, the first thing that came to mind when I actually checked out was the DeepSeek style, where you can swap in and swap out the plugins. And I can show you how to do that in a second already. So this is a Gentoo Harness. You can plug any model into this. You can plug a free model. So, for example, previously, I've plugged in stuff like OpenCode directly into DeepSeek Harness, and that allows you to use a bunch of free LMS. And it's pretty easy to install, as you can see right here. So we can open this up and set this up.

And once you've done that, you can then open up DeepSeek Harness, which you can see down here.

All right, so if we now open up DeepSeek Harness, you can see that will open up as a desktop app, and you can see it right here. Now, it's also synced to the other sessions I had inside DeepSeek before. So if you were using DeepSeek Harness before, the good thing about that is that basically, it's still going to have your previous history inside there too. So it's all synced up, which is great. So for example, I've got my SEO content, I've got my Obsidian Vault over here. We have, for example, the landing pages that we built. Everything is inside here too, which is pretty cool. Now also, we have this section for plugins. So what you can do here is you can enable agent teams. So you can have teams of agents working together. You can set up schedule tasks, and you can just switch this on and off if you want to. You've also got voice input here, so you can allow voice input, so you can code with your voice. And then additionally, we have author view, right? Basically, do you want things to code automatically without you or not? Now you can also add more plugins here, and there are loads of plugins on GitHub, which is super useful. And then let's have a look here, actually. We'll check GitHub for the new plugins.

Yeah, so you can see here, there's loads of DeepSea Harness plugins, for example, like Awesome Dash. And this is actually a curated list of plugins for DeepSea Harness, which is really useful. And you see, it's got 18,000 GitHub stars.

So there's all these different ways that you can basically mod the Harness itself to make it better and more useful and more customized, which is really useful. Now, if we scroll down the list, you can see all the different examples of plugins that are built. So these are sorted by category. So if you're like, okay, I want to improve the memory system inside my Harness, no problem. You've got a project memory over here. If you're like, okay, I want something that's super visual, makes it look more interesting. Wow, there's a lot of plugins as I scroll up here.
