Acti turns your keyboard into an AI agent
acti launched an ios/android keyboard embedding google gemini to execute multi-step tasks across apps, aiming to unify fragmented mobile context.
singapore-based startup acti launched a mobile keyboard that uses google gemini to execute agentic actions across apps like messaging and email, eliminating the need to switch contexts to access ai. the system features a 'skills' marketplace where users can program multi-step shortcuts or automations using natural language without coding knowledge. adopting a local-first architecture, acti processes and stores user context on-device by default, only accessing data when external processing is explicitly required. the app offers built-in skills for tasks like translation or scheduling, with revenue plans centering on subscriptions for premium models and usage limits. this launch challenges the chatbot interface paradigm by embedding intelligence into a universal user surface.
