Excited to hunt Acti today. Acti turns your mobile keyboard into an AI agent that can understand what you need and help you complete the task without leaving the conversation. Instead of being just another AI keyboard for fixing grammar, rewriting sentences, or generating replies, Acti can bring back the right result, link, document, or action directly inside any text field. Type what you need, hold the Acti Bar, and Acti understands your intent. You can use it to find live sports schedules, nearby restaurants, Notion documents, LinkedIn profiles, meeting links, or trigger Calendar actions and custom workflows. What stands out here: • Find information without switching between apps • Pull documents, profiles, links, and results into any conversation • Trigger real actions directly from the keyboard • Turn individual keys into custom Skills connected to your apps • Build and share your own Skill Keys without writing code If you spend a large part of your day inside messages, emails, and text fields, Acti is definitely worth checking out.

Congrats on the launch!
For the Skill Keys, when you connect something like Notion or Calendar, does Acti ask for OAuth permissions upfront or does it only request access when you actually trigger that key?

Maker

 Thanks~ Yes you can set up the OAuth permissions upfront so that later when you use it, you wont have to request access everytime

Maker

 Thanks! You can grant permissions either in advance or when you run a Skill—whichever you prefer. We'll only access the tools you've authorized, and only when you manually trigger the Skill.

Hey folks, I'm Young, founder of Acti.


⚡ Quick truth

This is not another AI keyboard. Not grammar fixes. Not sentence rewrites. Not even voice dictation. Better typing, faster typing, typed or spoken, is still just typing.
Acti is the first Agentic Keyboard, built to get things done. Let me tell you how we built it.

📖 The problem nobody noticed

In 2007, Apple put a keyboard on glass and changed how the world touches technology.

Then... nothing happened. Twenty years later, it's still a grid of letters on a third of your screen. Everything on your phone evolved, except the thing you touch the most.

We couldn't stop thinking about that. We think it's time to reinvent that third of your screen.

⚡ Why now

LLMs can finally understand intent in text. Not just what you typed, but what you're trying to do.

And the keyboard sits exactly where intent is born. It's in every app, every chat, every text box. It sees the moment a thought becomes words.

So we asked a simple question: what if the keyboard didn't just carry your words, but finished the job?

⌨️ That's Acti

Type your intent, hold the Acti Bar, and it happens right there in the text box. The link found. The doc pulled. The invite sent. No app switching. No copy-paste. The work disappears.

🛠️ DIY your keyboard

Everyone's life is different, so Acti is the first keyboard you can truly build yourself.

Every key can become a Skill. Connect your apps, wire actions to any key, decide how it thinks and what it outputs. Hold N for your Notion docs. Hold M for a meeting link. Hold anything for anything.

Build in plain language. No code. And when you create a Skill you love, share it with the community. Your Skill Keys can live on thousands of other keyboards.

🔮 The final vision

We're not trying to make typing 10% faster. We're changing what that third of your screen is: from a typing tool to an invisible agent that lives in every text field, getting things done right there.

The keyboard was the last untouched surface on your phone. Now download Acti and wake it up.

🏗️ Build with us

It's in your hands, and honestly, that's the part I'm most excited about. The best ideas for Acti won't come from us. They'll come from what you build with it.

It's already happening: we're hosting a Skill Hackathon in our Discord right now. Builders are creating their own Skill Keys and sharing them with the community. Build your own, or grab the best ones others have made:

Founder, Acti

One unexpected thing is how often I use ACTI for retrieval instead of generation. I'm not asking it to write essays. I'm mostly using it to fetch or execute things quickly.

Maker

 That's exactly what we were aiming for. 😊 Instead of just generating text, we wanted Acti to help you retrieve information and complete tasks right from your keyboard. It's great to hear it's becoming a tool you use to get things done, not just write. How's your experience so far?

Maker

 Thanks for the support — here's Acti Code to unlock LIFETIME Premium: 369MPV

Maker

 Thank you so much for your support. Yes, that’s exactly how it works — it makes it easy for you to get the information you need directly in the chat box！

Maker

 Totally. Being able to fetch or execute things quickly can be really helpful across a lot of everyday scenarios.

Maker

 Thanks! That's exactly what we're building for—helping you retrieve information and get things done quickly, not just generate text.

This is a really smart wedge. The keyboard is one of the few surfaces that already exists across every app, so putting actions there makes a lot of sense. Excited to try the Skill Keys idea.

Maker

 Thanks so much! We can't wait to hear what you think after you've tried it.

Maker

 Thank you Sandy~ Feel free to download our app and explore the skills hub or creating your own skills. Here is our premium Acti code: 0A0FMJ

Maker

 Thank you! Skill Keys are one of my favorite features in Acti as well. The best part is that you can create your own Skills directly through the Chatbox, no coding knowledge required.

Maker

 Thank you! That’s exactly how we think about it. Excited for you to try Skill Keys!

Maker

 Yes, exactly — thank you so much for your support!

iOS keyboards are notoriously limited with third-party access.
How much of what Acti does actually works within Apple's keyboard restrictions vs needing the full access permission toggle?

Maker

 Great question! Because of iOS limitations on third-party keyboards, some of Acti's AI features require the Full Access permission to work properly. Without it, we're unable to provide capabilities like AI processing and integrations.

That said, we only use the permissions needed to perform the action you explicitly request. Nothing is accessed unless you choose to use a feature or run a Skill that requires it, and you're always in control.

Maker

  The keyboard is an omnipresent interface on mobile. A lot of daily workflow actually starts in a conversation or chat. Thru keyboard agents we can let ppl to complete those tasks without leaving the current interface. Where an stand alone ai app will still create the UX friction making user jump around a couple apps to finish that task.

Maker

 In fact, it does create significant limitations. Without enabling Full Access, the keyboard can really only perform the most basic typing functions and may not even be able to connect to the internet. Therefore, in addition to basic typing features, we do need Full Access permissions.

That said, we still follow the principle of data minimization, fully comply with Apple’s privacy guidelines, and do our best to implement AI features responsibly. So, the keyboard is not purely a 100% “action layer” — there are more capabilities working behind the keyboard.

We welcome you to try it out and share your experience and feedback with us.

Wow, the retrieval-over-generation point is really interesting. Four words from a keyboard carry way less signal than a full chat prompt, so I guess the tricky part is guessing whether I want a search, a doc or a triggered action. When the intent is ambiguous, do you commit to one guess and let me correct? Congrats on another great launch!

Maker

 Thank you! In many cases, the user has already selected a specific Skill, so both the user and Acti know the intended action. For example, if you trigger the Document Skill, Acti knows you're asking about a document rather than performing a web search.

How difficult is the onboarding process for non technical users who have never built automations before?

Maker

 Quite simple — you just need to describe it in natural language to the Build Agent!

Acti Code for LIFETIME Premium: 0WH38Z

 Thnx! I will have a try

Maker

 Building skill is incredibly easy—just chat with the Acti Agent and tell it what you have in mind. We'd love for you to give it a try!

Maker

 I come from a non-CS background and have already made tons of skills thru Build Agent. It's quite easy and addictive～

This is a really interesting product! Congrats on the launch! I'm curious how it manages to accurately identify user intent, and what happens when the recognition isn't precise?

Maker

 Thanks for the support — here's Acti Code to unlock LIFETIME Premium: 39CJA5

Maker

 Overall, the recognition is quite accurate. You can give it a try — when it’s not fully sure about your intent, it will offer a few possible options for you to choose from～

Maker

 Thanks for your feedback! We've built a dedicated model for intent recognition, and when a user's intent is ambiguous, Acti will ask follow-up questions to clarify it before taking action. Our goal is to make sure the AI understands what you mean before it does anything.

How customizable are the skill keys over time? Can users create layered workflows or conditional actions?

Maker

 You can edit your existing skills thru agent builder and refine it over time. Conditional/multi skill chaining is exactly the kind of thing we're hearing a lot from early users and it is technically viable~, so it's on our radar for where Skills go next. Would love to know what kind of layered workflow you had in mind and helps us prioritize!

Maker

 Thanks for the support — here's Acti Code to unlock LIFETIME Premium: 3TDDJ6

Maker

 In the current version, our Skills do not collect context from users’ usage scenarios due to privacy considerations.

However, from a technical perspective, adding historical context and memory to a Skill is feasible, and this is one of the capabilities we plan to gradually introduce in future updates.

In the current version, Skills are built purely with natural language, so complex workflows such as layered workflows or conditional actions are not directly supported yet. However, technically speaking, these are not difficult challenges to solve.

In upcoming versions, the Acti keyboard may even be able to connect to your own Hermes. The possibilities of what a keyboard can become are much larger than you might imagine.

Maker

 Yes! We already support conditional actions in workflows, and we're continuing to expand what's possible with more apps, APIs, and advanced automation.
