Acti
Acti, the agentic keyboard, lets you trigger cross-app actions like search, maps, scheduling, and saving directly from any text field, without ever leaving the conversation.
Tool overview
Acti reimagines the keyboard as a universal action surface. Instead of just typing, you express intent in natural language inside any text field—‘SF best Italian vibe’ or ‘schedule team standup 3pm’—then hold the spacebar to let the agent retrieve a map link, restaurant suggestions, or a calendar invite, right there in the input box. It integrates with third-party apps and APIs, and supports custom ‘Skills’ that you can bind to dedicated keys, turning repetitive workflows into one-press triggers.
The main benefit is massive friction reduction: the keyboard follows you across every app, eliminating the need to switch between chat, browser, maps, and notes. It’s not a grammar or voice keyboard; it’s an execution layer that saves steps for anyone frequently moving information between apps, such as community managers, sales reps, or remote teams.
However, as a keyboard app, Acti requests input access and network permissions, which means it can technically observe everything you type—even if it only processes hold-to-act commands, privacy-conscious users may hesitate.
