+# Deploy with AstrBot Desktop Client
+
+`AstrBot-desktop` is designed for quick local deployment of AstrBot on your personal computer, supporting Windows, macOS, and Linux.
+
+Among the various deployment options, the desktop client is best suited for personal local use. It is not recommended for long-term server operation or production environments. For production deployments, consider [Docker](/en/deploy/astrbot/docker) or [Kubernetes](/en/deploy/astrbot/kubernetes) instead.
+
+Compared to command-line or container-based solutions, the desktop client offers an out-of-the-box experience, ideal for users who want to get started without dealing with environment setup.
+
+Repository: [AstrBotDevs/AstrBot-desktop](https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot-desktop)
+
+## Who Is It For
+
+- Users who want quick local deployment with a graphical interface.
+- Beginners who don't want to manually manage Docker / Python environments.
+- Personal devices that stay online, primarily for individual or small team daily use.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- Multi-platform installers, ready to use after download.
+- GUI-based configuration, lowering the barrier for first-time deployment.
+- Suitable as a locally resident client.
+
+## Download and Install
+
+1. Open [AstrBot-desktop Releases](https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot-desktop/releases).
+2. Download the installer for your operating system (e.g. `.exe`, `.dmg`, `.rpm`, `.deb`).
+3. Launch the desktop client after installation and follow the setup wizard to complete initialization.
+
+## Difference from Launcher Deployment
+
+- Desktop client: focuses on an out-of-the-box GUI experience.
+- Launcher deployment: focuses on automated script-based startup, suitable for users who prefer a traditional deployment workflow.
+- See [Launcher Deployment](/en/deploy/astrbot/launcher).

 - `POST /api/v1/chat`: request body must include `username`
 - `GET /api/v1/chat/sessions`: query params must include `username`
 
+## Scope Permissions
+
+When creating an API Key, you can configure `scopes`. Each scope controls the range of accessible endpoints:
+
+| Scope | Purpose | Accessible Endpoints |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `chat` | Access chat capabilities and query sessions | `POST /api/v1/chat`, `GET /api/v1/chat/sessions` |
+| `config` | Retrieve available config file list | `GET /api/v1/configs` |
+| `file` | Upload attachment files and get `attachment_id` | `POST /api/v1/file` |
+| `im` | Send proactive IM messages, query bot/platform list | `POST /api/v1/im/message`, `GET /api/v1/im/bots` |
+
+If the API Key does not include the required scope for the target endpoint, the request will return `403 Insufficient API key scope`.
+
 ## Common Endpoints
 
+**Chat**
+
+Interact with AstrBot's built-in Agent. Supports plugin calls, tool calls, and other capabilities — consistent with IM-side chat.
+
 - `POST /api/v1/chat`: send chat message (SSE stream, server generates UUID when `session_id` is omitted)
 - `GET /api/v1/chat/sessions`: list sessions for a specific `username` with pagination
 - `GET /api/v1/configs`: list available config files
+
+**File Upload**
+
 - `POST /api/v1/file`: upload attachment
-- `POST /api/v1/im/message`: proactive message via UMO
+
+**Proactive IM Messages**
+
+- `POST /api/v1/im/message`: send a proactive message via UMO
 - `GET /api/v1/im/bots`: list bot/platform IDs
 
+## `message` Field Format (Important)
+
+The `message` field in `POST /api/v1/chat` and `POST /api/v1/im/message` supports two formats:
+
+1. String: plain text message
+2. Array: message segments (message chain)
+
+### 1. Plain Text Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "message": "Hello"
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Message Segment Array Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "message": [
+    { "type": "plain", "text": "Please see this file" },
+    { "type": "file", "attachment_id": "9a2f8c72-e7af-4c0e-b352-111111111111" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Supported `type` values:
+
+| type | Required Fields | Optional Fields | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `plain` | `text` | - | Text segment |
+| `reply` | `message_id` | `selected_text` | Quote-reply a message |
+| `image` | `attachment_id` | - | Image attachment segment |
+| `record` | `attachment_id` | - | Audio attachment segment |
+| `file` | `attachment_id` | - | Generic file segment |
+| `video` | `attachment_id` | - | Video attachment segment |
+
+* The `reply` segment is currently only supported for `/api/v1/chat`, not for `POST /api/v1/im/message`.
+
+Notes:
+
+- `attachment_id` comes from the upload result of `POST /api/v1/file`.
+- `reply` cannot be the only segment; at least one content segment (e.g. `plain/image/file/...`) is required.
+- A request with only `reply` or empty content will return an error.
+
+### `message` Usage in Chat API
+
+`POST /api/v1/chat` additionally requires `username`, with optional `session_id` (a UUID is auto-generated if omitted).
+
+```json
+{
+  "username": "alice",
+  "session_id": "my_session_001",
+  "message": [
+    { "type": "plain", "text": "Please summarize this PDF" },
+    { "type": "file", "attachment_id": "9a2f8c72-e7af-4c0e-b352-111111111111" }
+  ],
+  "enable_streaming": true
+}
+```
+
+### `message` Usage in IM Message API
+
+`POST /api/v1/im/message` requires `umo` + `message`.
+
+```json
+{
+  "umo": "webchat:FriendMessage:openapi_probe",
+  "message": [
+    { "type": "plain", "text": "This is a proactive message" },
+    { "type": "image", "attachment_id": "9a2f8c72-e7af-4c0e-b352-222222222222" }

 #### On LLM Request
 
 In AstrBot's default execution flow, the `on_llm_request` hook is triggered before calling the LLM.
