DeerFlow is an open-source long-horizon super-agent harness developed in the ByteDance repository. Built on LangGraph and LangChain, it orchestrates a lead agent with sub-agents, progressively loaded skills, memory, tools, and sandboxed execution environments for research, coding, file work, report generation, slide creation, web-page creation, and other multi-step tasks.
The runtime provides a filesystem for uploads, workspaces, and outputs; configurable web search, web fetching, browser control, Bash and file tools; MCP servers; reusable Markdown-based skills; long-term memory; scheduled tasks; and messaging-app channels. Sub-agents receive scoped context, tools, and termination conditions, and can run bounded parallel work before returning structured results to the lead agent. Sandbox modes include local execution, isolated Docker containers, Kubernetes-backed execution, and E2B-based environments, depending on configuration.
DeerFlow can run locally or with Docker Compose and exposes a Web UI and Gateway at the documented local address. Its setup wizard generates configuration for model providers, search, sandbox, Bash, and file-writing options; the project also documents integrations for LangSmith, Langfuse, and Monocle tracing, personal access tokens, custom agents, MCP background tasks, and extensible Python packages. Version 2.0 is a ground-up rewrite of the earlier 1.x Deep Research framework; active development is on the 2.0 line.
