Acti

About Acti

Acti is a custom mobile keyboard that functions as an AI agent for executing commands and retrieving information. Users type a query, hold the Acti Bar, and the tool inserts the requested result directly into the active text field. It integrates with third-party applications to pull data without requiring context switching.

Review

Mobile workflows often require switching between multiple applications to gather information or trigger actions. Acti embeds an AI agent directly into the device keyboard. The tool processes natural language inputs to fetch documents, schedule events, or execute custom workflows within the current conversation window.

Key Features

• Acti Bar: Activates the AI agent when held down, processing the typed text to determine user intent.
• Skill Keys: Maps individual keyboard keys to specific custom actions or app integrations.
• Agent Builder: Enables the creation and modification of custom skills using natural language, without requiring code.
• Intent Clarification: Prompts the user with options or follow-up questions when the typed command is ambiguous.
• Permission Management: Supports setting OAuth permissions for connected apps either in advance or at the moment a skill is triggered.

Pricing and Value

Acti operates on a freemium model. The base version is available for free, while a Premium tier requires a paid subscription. The reference material mentions promotional codes for lifetime access and a 20% discount, but specific dollar amounts for the Premium tier are not yet defined.

Pros

• Retrieves specific documents and links from integrated apps like Notion and LinkedIn directly into the text field.
• Allows users to build and share custom skills through the Agent Builder without writing code.
• Clarifies ambiguous commands by presenting multiple options before executing an action.
• Grants users control over when to authorize OAuth connections for third-party applications.

Cons

• Requires the iOS Full Access permission toggle to be enabled, which grants the keyboard internet connectivity and AI processing capabilities.
• Lacks support for complex, multi-step conditional workflows in the current version, as these remain on the development roadmap.
• Is not well suited for users who prioritize strict privacy controls and refuse to grant third-party keyboards full device access.

Acti serves professionals who spend the majority of their mobile time drafting messages and need to insert links, calendar events, or document references quickly. It works best for users comfortable with granting full keyboard access to an AI agent in exchange for reduced app-switching.
