What is this?
It is an installable Android APK that packages DeepSeek Harness (DSH), an AI agent core, so the AI can directly operate your phone — install apps, tap the screen, change settings, read/edit files — without needing root (via Shizuku) or with root if available.

For system-level actions (installing apps, tapping, changing settings) it uses root if available, otherwise falls back to Shizuku automatically; the accessibility screen assistant needs neither.

Android 7.0 (API 24) and above.What's the difference between the regular, Lite and Compat APK variants?The regular APK (com.deepseek.harness) is the recommended build; the Lite variant (com.deepseek.harness.beta, port 3082) installs side-by-side with its own data folder and API key for testing; the Compat variant (com.deepseek.harness.compat, port 3084) targets devices with older WebView engines.
