When a company should use DeepSeek
Use DeepSeek for internal drafts, formula explanations, and policy notes. A person still sends the email, the quote, and the final policy.

Conclusion
Put DeepSeek on internal drafts: a proposal draft, a spreadsheet formula explained, a policy compressed into points. Emails, quotes, and final policies are edited in the company template, then a person sends them.
Three internal jobs that fit
A proposal draft. The input is an outline and facts someone already confirmed. A good output is a draft plus a list of what still needs a person.
A formula explanation. The input is a formula already in the sheet. A good output says what the formula calculates. It does not change the numbers.
Policy points. The input is a section with its version marked. A good output is a point list, with where the sentence sits in the original.
Test one of the three for two weeks. If you start all three, you cannot tell a model problem from a scene you never chose.
What stays out of a personal account
- Customer lists, contacts, and the original email thread
- Floor prices, discount authority, and lead-time promises
- Unpublished contracts, final bids, and HR files
Those belong in a permissioned knowledge base or a company document, not in a personal chat. The version gate for policy Q&A is in how to answer from policy.
How the neighbors split
- Tongyi: if people already write official documents and sheets inside the Alibaba stack, stay on Tongyi.
- Kimi: if one pack has several long files and you need the gaps, use Kimi to read them.
- Doubao: voice notes and personal email drafts can stay in Doubao. Do not keep company knowledge in both places.
Three questions before you buy
- How long chat and upload logs are kept, and who can export them.
- Whether company chats train the model, and whether that can be turned off.
- Whether seats or the API can be invoiced to the company, and whether an admin can reclaim an account.
Answer those, then decide whether to stay on a personal trial or buy company seats. Retest a small scene before you add people.
Lines you do not cross
- A model draft is not sent outside as-is
- An expired policy is not compressed into “the current points”
- DeepSeek’s reasoning is not written up as a decision already in force

Questions
Can we open a personal account for everyone?
Start with one role, one job, and two weeks. Customer files, floor prices, and unpublished contracts do not go into a personal chat.
How does it split from Tongyi and Kimi?
Try DeepSeek first for internal reasoning and formulas. If people already write in the Alibaba stack, keep Tongyi for those documents and sheets. Use Kimi when one pack has several long files.
What do we ask before buying?
How long logs are kept, whether chats train the model, and whether you can get a company invoice. If all three are unclear, do not add seats.
