I’ve always found it a little weird that AI keyboards mostly stop at generating text.

You can ask them to write an email, rewrite a message, summarize something, etc. But if the thing you actually want is “do this for me”, you usually have to leave the keyboard, open another app, copy things around, and come back.

So we’ve been building Acti, an agentic keyboard for Android (and iOS) that makes the keyboard more of an action layer.

The basic idea is pretty simple:

Type when you want to write. Hold when you want something done.

For example, instead of:

>

You would normally copy the text, open an AI app, paste it, copy the result, and come back.

With Acti, you can trigger a translation action directly from the keyboard.

The same idea can be used for things like:

• Looking up information without leaving the conversation
• Finding something in your connected apps
• Creating or retrieving things from Notion
• Working with Google Calendar and Meet
• Using custom workflows called “Skills” that you can install or create
• Using voice input and then acting on the result

The part we're particularly interested in is Skills.

A Skill is basically a small workflow that gives the keyboard a specific ability. Instead of having one giant AI button that tries to do everything, you can have actions for things you actually do regularly.

We're still improving the Android experience, so I'm more interested in how this feels in real use than making big claims about it.

Right now we're working on things like typing performance, gesture typing, the Acti Bar, more integrations and making actions feel natural without getting in the way of normal typing.

I'd like to hear from Android users here:

What would you actually want your keyboard to do for you?

Not “generate better text”. What task would you want to trigger without leaving the app you're using?

And if you've tried an AI keyboard before, what made you stop using it?

Happy to answer questions about how Acti works, the Android implementation, permissions, privacy, or anything else you're curious about.

I would love to know and try sone unique projects that you all are working on!

Hey everyone! 👋

We're exploring a potential integration with Hermes and have one idea we're considering:

Imagine being able to trigger your existing Hermes workflows directly from your keyboard while typing, without opening another app. Since Hermes already has your workflows and permissions configured, it would simply execute the request and return the result.

That's just one direction we're thinking about.

Before we build anything, we'd love to hear from the community:

• What would you actually want from a Hermes integration?
• How would you like to interact with Hermes outside of your desktop?
• Are there workflows you wish were easier or faster to trigger?
• Is there a completely different integration or experience you'd prefer instead?

We're still in the ideation phase, so nothing is finalized. We'd much rather build something the Hermes community genuinely wants than make assumptions.

Looking forward to hearing your ideas and use cases!

Hey everyone!

We're planning the next round of integrations for Acti, and we'd love to hear what you'd actually use.

Right now, Acti supports:

• Notion
• Gmail
• Google Calendar
• Google Meet
• Calendly
• Slack

We're considering integrations like GitHub, Discord, Microsoft 365, Figma, and more—but we don't want to build features nobody needs.

So, if you could pick one integration, what would it be?

Even more helpful:

• What app?
• What would you want Acti to do with it?
• What's your workflow?

For example:

• GitHub → Create issues, review PRs, search repos
• Discord → Send messages, summarize channels
• Microsoft 365 → Outlook, Teams, OneDrive
• Figma → Find files, open designs

We're reading every comment, and the most requested integrations will help shape our roadmap.

Looking forward to hearing your ideas!

Two weeks ago, we launched Acti.

The support has been incredible, and so has the feedback. Every bug report, feature request, and suggestion has helped us improve the keyboard faster than we imagined.

Over the past two weeks, we've shipped a steady stream of updates across iOS and Android, including:

• Swipe-to-type
• Multilingual typing
• Real-time streaming voice input
• Spacebar cursor control
• Number row
• Emoji search
• Clipboard support in Acti Bar
• Improved delete gestures
• Performance improvements and lots of bug fixes

(Some features are platform-specific and may arrive at different times on iOS and Android.)

The best part is that many of these updates came directly from conversations with our community. You told us what felt missing, what was frustrating, and what would make Acti better—and we got to work.

This is still just the beginning.

We're actively working on more AI capabilities, more agentic actions, more integrations, more Skills, and a lot of quality-of-life improvements.

If you've been using Acti, we'd love to hear:

• What's your favorite feature so far?
• What's the one thing you still wish Acti could do?

We'll be reading every comment, and many of them will end up on our roadmap.
We are also giving away the free premium to new user, update and comment to get the code.

Thanks for building Acti with us.

On one random day, we thought that our 1/3rd of the screen in the mobile is covered by the keyboard still there is no massive innovation done after iPhone first launch.

We thought why not bring agent to your keyboard and turn your Intent into Action?

We launched Acti, You want notion docs? just type and hold any skill keys, you want to send google meet link? just hold 'm' Key. You get everything directly to your input field, no need to switch apps at all.

We have two features:

- Acti Bar(Space bar): An universal button, just type your intent and hold Acti Bar, the agent will understand intent and turn it into action.
for ex: Match score, weather , some google info anything.

- Skills: Skills are predefined workflows that you bind to your keyboard keys, for example: Fetching notion docs, google meet links, set google calendar event or anything specific.

This is not your regular AI keyboard that just rewrite or summarize your text, it understands your intent and do work for you.

We are giving away premium to early users also, join our discord server or dm me for steps to claim.

The smartphone keyboard hasn't fundamentally changed in years.

We've added swipe typing, emojis, GIFs, voice input, autocorrect, grammar suggestions, and more recently, AI writing assistance. These features make typing faster and smarter, but the keyboard still has one primary job: help you write text.

The problem is that when you're using your phone, you're rarely just typing.

You're searching for information to answer a message. Looking up a restaurant to share with friends. Finding a document for a coworker. Creating a meeting link. Checking live scores. Translating a message. Sharing your location.

The moment your intent goes beyond writing, you leave the keyboard, open another app, complete the task, then come back to continue the conversation.

That constant context switching is where mobile productivity breaks down.

We think the next evolution of the keyboard isn't better text generation—it's action.

An Agentic Keyboard understands what you're trying to accomplish and helps execute it directly from the keyboard. Instead of opening five different apps for simple tasks, you express your intent once, and the keyboard retrieves information, connects to services, or runs workflows without interrupting what you're doing.

The keyboard is already one of the most frequently used interfaces on every smartphone. It's present in messaging apps, email, browsers, notes, social media, and countless other apps. Rather than making AI another destination, why not bring AI to the interface people already use hundreds of times every day?

That's the vision behind Acti. We don't think the future mobile keyboard is one that only helps you type better—we think it's one that helps you get things done.

Do you think mobile keyboards will continue evolving as writing assistants, or will they eventually become intelligent execution layers for everyday tasks?

Most people assume the biggest problem on mobile is typing speed. We don't think that's true.

The real problem is context switching. Every day, we leave a conversation or app to complete tiny tasks: searching Google for an answer, finding a Notion document, sharing a location from Maps, checking sports scores, creating a meeting link, summarizing a webpage, translating a message, or looking up a flight or restaurant.

Individually, these actions only take a few seconds. But combined, they interrupt our focus dozens of times a day. Open an app. Search. Copy. Return. Paste. Repeat.

An Agentic Keyboard is designed to reduce that friction. Instead of treating the keyboard as a tool that only generates text, it treats it as a place where actions can happen. You type your intent—"share my live location," "find the latest meeting notes," "create a Google Meet link," "check today's cricket score," or "summarize this article"—and the keyboard handles the task without forcing you to leave the app you're already using.

The goal isn't just to help you write better. It's to help you complete tasks without breaking your flow.

That's why we built Acti as an Agentic Keyboard rather than another AI chatbot. We believe the keyboard is one of the few interfaces people already use everywhere—messaging apps, email, browsers, social media, notes, and work tools—making it a natural place for AI to become truly useful.

So here's the question: If you could automate one workflow directly from your keyboard, what would save you the most time every day?
