Acti: A clever way to use AI without switching apps

Acti’s idea is simple but useful: put AI actions directly into a keyboard, so you can run them while you’re in another app instead of switching to a separate chatbot, copying the result and pasting it somewhere else.
I’ve been trying it for a range of everyday tasks. I used an action to find Aldi special buys in Ireland, generated daily Catalan phrases to save into Apple Notes, and tried it for quick content and motivation ideas. You can also create your own actions for things you do repeatedly—for example, drafting a familiar kind of response or getting information in a specific format.
The biggest benefit for me is the convenience. When an action gives you something useful, you can work with the result right where you need it. Acti also has a wheel for quickly accessing favourite actions, along with features such as dictation and saved clips. Actions are created and refined on a phone or tablet, while the desktop app offers another way to use them.
This is an early hands-on impression, not a full test of every feature. The results can vary, and you may need to adjust an action to get exactly what you want. I also found that some daily language-practice phrases were similar, so there’s room to refine the prompts.
Overall, Acti feels like a promising tool if you regularly use AI for small, repeatable tasks and want to cut down on app-switching. Check the current AppSumo page for the latest pricing, terms and usage limits.

Oct 26, 2026Richard, thank you for the five tacos and for putting together such a detailed walkthrough! The Aldi demo with Paddington, Bluey and Peppa Pig was a fun surprise 😄 And hearing that you’re actually using the daily focus and motivation Act for your social posts was especially good to hear.
You captured what we’re trying to make easier: getting something useful done in the app you’re already using, without the back-and-forth copying and pasting.
We appreciate the honest feedback just as much, including the repeated Catalan phrases and needing your phone or iPad to refine Acts. Thanks for showing what’s working for you and where there’s still friction. It means a lot that you took the time to explore Acti and share it with others!
