ACTI EMBEDS AI AGENTS DIRECTLY IN SMARTPHONE KEYBOARD

Acti's keyboard positions itself as a new entry point for AI assistance on mobile devices. Rather than requiring users to switch between apps or open dedicated AI tools, the keyboard brings agent functionality to wherever users are typing. The platform allows creation of custom shortcuts powered by AI, executable through natural language input. This approach aims to reduce friction in accessing AI capabilities—users can trigger tasks without leaving their current app or workflow. The keyboard supports both iOS and Android, expanding accessibility across major mobile platforms. By operating at the keyboard level, Acti's tool sits at a convergence point where most mobile interaction occurs. The move reflects growing competition in mobile AI assistants, with multiple companies pursuing different integration strategies. Acti's keyboard-first approach differs from app-based assistants and native integrations offered by major OS providers. Whether users adopt a third-party keyboard for AI features remains dependent on the quality and utility of the shortcuts available.
