Experience frequent delays and privacy concerns with current research tool
I advise not to use the web interface or the mobile app. If you think you should use it, use the self-hosted version. I gave DeepSeek a rating of 3 out of 10 because the core product, when it works, is actually good. But so often it's not working that I just can't give it a higher score.
