Deploy JoyAgent‑Genie Locally and Switch to DeepSeek in Minutes

Quick Online Experience

JoyAgent‑Genie has been open‑sourced, and you can try it instantly by logging in with a JD.com or JD Cloud account at joyagent-genie.jdcloud.com/.

Local Deployment

For deeper exploration, clone the GitHub repository: git clone https://github.com/jd-opensour… Then start the service with the provided script: sh Genie_start.sh The script launches the application without errors, and opening the displayed URL shows the local Genie interface.

Step 3: Configure the Model

The default model is GPT‑4.1, which is inaccessible from China, so you need to switch to DeepSeek by editing two configuration files.

3.1 Modify the Python .env file

Remove the default OPENAI_API_KEY and OPENAI_BASE_URL, then add your DEEPSEEK_API_KEY, DEFAULT_MODEL, and SERPER_API_KEY as shown in the screenshot.

3.2 Modify the Java configuration

Edit resources/application.yml and update the llm-default section for the DeepSeek model, ensuring max_tokens is set to 8192 to avoid errors.

3.3 One‑click start

Run Genie_start.sh again; the service starts with the DeepSeek model, as demonstrated in the following screenshot.

Summary

We have completed both the quick online trial and the full local deployment of Genie. The results are impressive, producing rich text and charts. Deployment is straightforward, and developers with basic experience can use this open‑source project to build their own Manus services.
