Compare the workflow first
A chatbot can explain terms, discuss your circumstances and organize thoughts. A chart needs calendar rules to be executed; a draw needs a defined random process. This comparison is about a tool-backed answer versus text generated without a tool. A general assistant with the right tools can do the former too.

| Dimension | Wenbu | Chatbot without tools |
|---|---|---|
| Charts | Code calculates BaZi or Zi Wei from stated inputs and returns the conventions | A written chart alone does not show which calendar rules were executed |
| Draws and casts | Code performs the draw and returns the original cards or line values | A card name alone does not show how it was selected |
| Personal context | The built-in Agent sends the conversation and your selected context to DeepSeek | Context and data use depend on the host application’s settings |
| Interpretation | DeepSeek interprets the tool result; the explanation can still be wrong | Model-generated interpretation also needs its inputs and sources checked |
| Using both | Continue in the web Agent or pass results to your own assistant through MCP | An assistant that supports MCP or tool calls can use a calculator in the conversation |
Making a choice
Look for the inputs, tool output and calculation conventions before assessing the prose. Connect Wenbu MCP to an assistant you already use for calculations and reference tools; its own model provides the interpretation. Choose the web Agent if you want charts, context selection and follow-up questions in one place.
