In this video, I combine the Cline (VS Code extension) with DeepSeek V3 to build a Python automation script for less than a cent. The script takes periodic screenshots and webcam images based on the active window (VS Code or Chrome) and saves them locally. I’ll walk you through the quick setup, test the workflow, fix common issues like file overwrites, and see if this combo is actually worth it for building cheap, functional apps.
