Acti is an AI-enabled mobile keyboard and desktop assistant designed to bring writing help and reusable workflows into the apps where people already work. Instead of switching to a separate chatbot for every request, users can dictate, translate, rewrite text, ask questions, or run supported actions from the keyboard or desktop interface. Its focus is convenience across everyday communication, with no-code tools for turning repeated requests into reusable workflows called Acts.
Key features
Create and reuse Acts
Act Builder Agent turns a plain-language description into a reusable Act, which can range from a text transformation to a multi-step workflow connected to supported apps and APIs. Users can refine an Act through conversation, browse and personalize community-made Acts, or share their own. The page lists connections to more than 300 apps and APIs, including Gmail, Slack, Notion, Calendly, and custom APIs. The available actions depend on supported integrations, permissions, and APIs.
This makes Acti more than a text assistant, but it is not a ready-made automation system for every process. Users need to work within the integrations and capabilities available to them, and may need to refine workflows to get the desired result.
Typing, dictation, and translation
Acti supports typing in more than 90 languages, AI dictation in more than 60, and voice translation across more than 100. Dictation is intended to turn speech into polished text by improving clarity, grammar, and style. Voice commands can also be used to rewrite or transform text and trigger actions. Specific language availability and functionality may vary by feature and platform.
Desktop and saved text
Acti’s desktop app is currently available for macOS. It can bring Acts to the desktop, work with selected text to translate, rewrite, improve, or explain it, and accept dictation sent from a phone. Windows support is in development, but the page does not give a confirmed release date.
For repeated text, users can create shortcuts that expand into saved content such as email addresses or professional introductions. Clips stores copied text and links, with syncing between mobile and desktop. These tools complement the workflow features by making common information easier to reuse.
Who it is for
Acti may suit people who frequently write or communicate on a phone and want AI assistance close at hand. The page highlights content creators, marketers, and solopreneurs, while the workflow builder may also appeal to users who want to automate recurring tasks without writing code. Its desktop features may be useful to Mac users who want to edit or translate selected text without leaving their current work.
The product’s value depends on how often its keyboard, supported integrations, and reusable Acts fit into a person’s daily tasks. People who need complex, unattended automation or a specific unsupported connection should check that their workflow is covered before relying on Acti.
Limitations
Acti’s desktop support is currently limited to macOS; Windows is described as planned, with no confirmed launch date. The product also does not currently support Bring Your Own Key, so users cannot configure their own AI provider keys. AI actions and workflows use credits, which reset monthly and do not roll over; the page says consumption varies by action. Ordinary typing is not recorded or transmitted to Acti’s servers, according to the product’s privacy explanation, but information needed for AI features may be processed by Acti and relevant AI providers.
Verdict
Acti combines an AI keyboard, voice features, text shortcuts, clipboard storage, and a no-code workflow builder in one product. Its strongest differentiator is placing these tools close to the text and apps a person is already using. It is a practical fit for multilingual communication and repeatable, supported tasks, while its current platform coverage, credit-based AI usage, and lack of BYOK are important considerations. The product page also describes some future capabilities as development priorities, so those should not be treated as available features.
