Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native DeepSeek integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right DeepSeek calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your DeepSeek data, across all 4 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke DeepSeek access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in DeepSeek, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when DeepSeek is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach DeepSeek.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every DeepSeek action to support review and sign off.

Supported tools

Every action Ceven's agents can run on DeepSeek, and when to use it.

Create Anthropic Message
Use this when you need to generate responses using the Anthropic compatible format, including system prompts and thinking mode.
Create Chat Completion
Use this to generate AI responses using deepseek chat or deepseek reasoner models for standard conversations.
Get User Balance
Pull the current account balance in CNY or USD to ensure there are sufficient funds for large batch jobs.
List Models
Pull a list of all available DeepSeek models to check for new version availability or owner details.
Generate Reasoning Chain
Use the reasoner model to break down a complex problem into logical steps before providing a final answer.
Stream Chat Response
Use this when the workflow needs to pipe AI output to a user interface in real time rather than waiting for the full block.
Verify API Credits
Check if the account has topped up balance before starting a long running research agent task.
Route to Chat Model
Send a prompt to the deepseek chat model for fast, low latency responses to simple queries.
Route to Reasoner Model
Send a prompt to the deepseek reasoner model for tasks requiring deep logic or mathematical proof.
Format System Prompt
Set the persona and constraints for the model using the system message field for consistent output.
Check Model Availability
Query the available models list to ensure the specific reasoner version is online.
Execute Tool Call
Use the model to decide which external tool to trigger based on the user input and provided schema.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven stores your DeepSeek API key in an encrypted vault that is isolated from the main application logic. When a workflow triggers a model call, the agent retrieves the key from the vault to authenticate the request and then immediately clears it from active memory. We never log the API key in plain text or expose it to the model context. You can rotate your key in the DeepSeek dashboard and update it in the Ceven connection settings at any time. This ensures that your credits and account access remain secure while allowing the agent to run autonomously.
The chat model is optimized for speed and conversational fluency, making it ideal for drafting emails or answering simple questions. The reasoner model uses a chain of thought process to work through complex problems, which is better for coding or math. In Ceven, you can specify which model to use based on the task. If you choose the reasoner, the agent will spend more time processing the logic before outputting the final result. This results in higher accuracy for technical tasks but may increase the time it takes for the workflow to complete.
Yes. Ceven can use the Get User Balance action to pull your current credits in either CNY or USD. You can build a workflow that checks this balance every morning and sends a Slack notification if the funds drop below a certain threshold. This prevents your production workflows from failing silently due to an empty balance. Since DeepSeek uses a prepaid credit model, this automation is critical for teams running high volume agents that process thousands of tokens per hour across multiple different projects.
Yes. DeepSeek imposes rate limits based on your account tier, specifically on the number of requests per minute and tokens per minute. If a Ceven workflow hits these limits, the API returns a 429 error. We have built in exponential backoff logic that tells the agent to wait and retry the request automatically. However, for very large batch jobs, we recommend staggering your workflow triggers or upgrading your DeepSeek tier to avoid long delays. Be aware that the reasoner model often has tighter limits than the standard chat model.
Ceven supports streaming for DeepSeek models when the destination is a compatible chat interface. Instead of waiting for the model to generate the entire response, the agent pipes chunks of text to the user as they are created. This significantly improves the perceived speed of the agent. If the workflow is sending the output to a database or a document, Ceven will automatically disable streaming and wait for the complete response to ensure data integrity and proper formatting before the final write operation occurs.
DeepSeek provides an API endpoint that follows the same structure as Anthropic models. Ceven leverages this to allow users to use familiar prompting patterns and system message structures. This means if you have existing prompts designed for Claude, they will often work with DeepSeek with minimal adjustment. The agent handles the mapping of the request body to ensure that the system prompt and user messages are delivered in the exact format DeepSeek expects, allowing for a seamless transition between different model providers within a single workflow.
If a specific model is offline or returning errors, Ceven can be configured to fail over to an alternative model. You can set up a conditional branch in your workflow that checks for a failed response and then attempts the same prompt using a different model version. This ensures that your business critical processes keep running even during provider outages. The agent will log the failure and the successful fallback so you can review the reliability of your model routing and adjust your primary model choice if necessary.
Data usage policies depend on the DeepSeek API terms of service. Generally, API data is handled differently than chatbot data. To ensure maximum privacy, we recommend reviewing the latest DeepSeek privacy agreement regarding API submissions. Ceven does not add any additional data to your prompts beyond what is explicitly provided in the workflow context. If you require strict data isolation, ensure you are using a professional or enterprise tier account with DeepSeek that explicitly opts out of training on customer API data.
