Product overview

Reasonix is DeepSeek's dedicated agent.

For developers already using Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, or Copilot, Reasonix focuses on direct DeepSeek usage, lower-cost long sessions, local project control, plugin extension, and reviewable execution.

Direct DeepSeek path, not a wrapper

Compared with generic OpenAI-compatible tools, Reasonix is designed around the DeepSeek path: low-cost iteration by default, with stronger reasoning when the task needs it.

Lower-cost long sessions

Compared with agents that spend heavily on repeated context, Reasonix is better suited to sustained debugging, refactors, and multi-hour work.

Terminal and desktop entry points

Compared with tools tied to an IDE or web app, Reasonix can start in the project terminal and also offers a desktop client.

Plan gates for code edits

Compared with agents that edit immediately, Reasonix can show the plan first, then confirm risky changes, commands, and write boundaries.

MCP, Skills, and Memory

Compared with fixed-function agents, Reasonix can connect external tools and preserve project-specific skills and memory.

Reviewable run history

Compared with one-shot chats, branches, checkpoints, and command history make debugging, handoff, and resuming easier.
