Before you start

  3. In lumabar, right-click the dock, choose Widgets…, open AI and click DeepSeek Balance to add it.

Good to know

  • DeepSeek reports only the balance. lumabar works out your spending from how the balance moves while it runs - so spend appears after a while, not instantly.

If it doesn't connect

The card says what went wrong, in words like these:

“DeepSeek rejected that key”

Copy the whole key again, or create a new one.

Privacy

The key is stored only on this PC, is sent only to DeepSeek, and is used only to read. To remove it, click the tile and press Disconnect, or right-click the tile and choose Logout.
