Usage Guide#

This document introduces the recommended workflow for DeepRead, helping you get started quickly from article downloading to AI Q&A.

Quick Start#

1. Open DeepRead and go to the Download Center.
2. Enter the WordPress category URL.
3. Set a Knowledge Base Name (recommend using the site name or topic).
4. Set the number of concurrent downloads, then click download.
5. Once the download is complete, go to AI Chat, select the newly created knowledge base, and start asking questions.

Typical Workflow#

(1) Batch Downloading Articles#

• Use a category URL like https://example.com/category/your-category/ for easier batch collection.
• For first-time use, it's recommended to perform a small batch test to ensure fields and content meet expectations.
• If the target site is slow, decreasing concurrency can lead to a higher success rate.

(2) Managing Local Knowledge Bases#

• It's recommended to use unique knowledge base aliases for each topic to facilitate future retrieval.
• In Article Management, you can search by title, preview Markdown content, and locate image files.
• Periodically clean up unused knowledge bases to keep search results focused.

(3) AI Q&A and Deep Reading#

• Select a knowledge base for Q&A.
• Questions should ideally have a clear scope, e.g., "Based on articles in the XX category, summarize 3 core insights."
• For complex questions, ask step-by-step: summarize first, then follow up with specific details and evidence sources.

(4) Parameters and Environment Configuration#

Configure the following in System Settings:

• API Key (currently only supports DeepSeek)
• Download and storage paths

Recommendations:

• After initial configuration, perform 1-2 short Q&A sessions to confirm connectivity and response speed.
• If responses are slow, first check the model service status and your network connection.

(5) License Activation#

• Enter your license information on the License Management page to activate.
• You can view the list of bound devices.
• Before switching devices, it's recommended to unbind on the old device.

Tips for Efficient Use#

• Process "downloads" and "Q&A" in separate batches to avoid loading too much data at once.
• For key conclusions, it's recommended to cross-check with the original article.
