DeepSeek Harness + WhatsApp
WhatsApp is the conversation entry point; DeepSeek Harness is the agent that runs the work. Test DeepSeek Harness with DeepSeek V4 Pro below, then connect WhatsApp and choose this agent in channel settings.
How the combination works
DeepSeek Harness does the work. WhatsApp carries the conversation.
DeepSeek Harness runs coding work through a persistent shell and repository workspace while the selected model supplies reasoning and generation.
Use the linked-device pairing flow to let incoming messages reach your selected agent. This is an unofficial connection; review the risks before choosing a number.
DeepSeek Harness
Owns the work loop, model calls, files, cloud computer, enabled tools, and the result returned to the conversation.
WhatsApp
Lets people reach the selected AgentSky agent from WhatsApp. It does not grant access to repositories or other applications mentioned in a message.
AgentSky
Owns the selected responder, channel binding, task state, model and runtime usage, and the separate permissions for tools and connectors.
Setup and first task
Connect DeepSeek Harness to the WhatsApp conversation you intend to use.
The Composer tests the exact agent in the browser. Channel setup remains a separate account or workspace authorization, so neither step can silently stand in for the other.
Test DeepSeek Harness in the Composer
The Composer above selects DeepSeek Harness and its current recommended model, DeepSeek V4 Pro. Use a small task with an answer you can inspect before connecting a shared channel.
Connect WhatsApp and choose DeepSeek Harness
Select Connect WhatsApp in the agent’s channel controls. The consent explains that Meta can ban the linked number and recommends using a secondary number. On the phone for the number being paired, open WhatsApp Settings → Linked Devices → Link a Device. Scan the displayed QR; it rotates while waiting.
Verify the real channel path
Send a small request to the paired number from another account you control. Messages sent by the paired number itself do not reach the agent. Confirm the response and usage. Check that the reply arrives in the intended WhatsApp conversation and that the dashboard still names DeepSeek Harness as the responder.
Access, cost and limits
What DeepSeek Harness + WhatsApp establishes
Cost-conscious coding and shell work where DeepSeek-compatible models and explicit verification fit the task.
Configure and verify
- DeepSeek Harness and DeepSeek V4 Pro are preselected for the browser evaluation.
- WhatsApp is connected or paired to the intended account, workspace, server, device or conversation.
- The first real message reaches the selected agent and returns a useful reply through the same channel.
Do not assume
- A browser task does not automatically bind WhatsApp; finish the channel setup separately.
- WhatsApp membership does not authorize repositories, email, documents or other application data.
- Model tokens and active computer time are billed separately from any channel or provider plan.
