AI Keyboard Takes Action for You

Summary
- Acti is an AI keyboard for iOS and Android.
- It integrates AI tools directly into existing apps.
- Acti uses Google's Gemini models for its AI capabilities.
A new startup, Acti, has introduced an agentic keyboard for iOS and Android that embeds AI capabilities directly into users' existing applications. This AI keyboard aims to solve the inconvenience of app switching by bringing AI assistance to messaging, email, and social media platforms.
Acti's technology allows it to act as a user's context layer across multiple apps. The keyboard leverages Google's Gemini models, chosen for their performance and efficiency. A key feature, 'Skills,' enables users to create custom shortcuts for multi-step tasks like translating messages or sharing meeting links.
Prioritizing user privacy, Acti operates on a local-first model, meaning personal data typically remains on the device. The company has secured $5.3 million in seed funding, led by BITKRAFT Ventures, signaling strong investor confidence in its approach to human-computer interaction.
Users can create their own Skills by describing desired actions in plain language, which Acti then builds. These Skills can be kept private or shared in a public marketplace. The keyboard itself is now available for both iOS and Android devices.
