DeepSeek
Design analysis
This shows the desktop version of DeepSeek for the week of 2026-09-21, before scrolling. The screen is dark, with no open sidebar and a few small buttons in the top left. The message box sits in the middle of the screen and is the largest item on it. Above it, a greeting in Chinese asks what you would like to chat about today. The greeting is bright enough against the background to meet a common accessibility guideline. The hint text inside the message box is lighter than a common accessibility guideline recommends. The outline of the message box and the send button are hard to see. Two buttons offer deep thinking and smart search, but there is no note that it can make mistakes.
