Agentic Keyboard vs ChatGPT
New to the category? Start with What is an Agentic Keyboard? →
ChatGPT is a destination. Acti is everywhere you type.
ChatGPT is a powerful assistant you open as its own app or site. You switch to it, ask, copy the answer, then switch back to whatever you were doing and paste. The intelligence is great; the workflow is a detour.
Acti puts an agent inside the keyboard, so it's present in every app without switching. You stay in your message, email or note, hold the space bar to open the Acti Wheel, and it acts in place — drafting the reply, creating the link, running an Act — using your connected apps. No copy-paste round trip.

Acti vs ChatGPT FAQ
Is Acti like ChatGPT?
Acti uses an AI agent like ChatGPT, but it lives inside your keyboard and works in every app, taking action in place instead of being a separate destination you switch to.
Can Acti take actions ChatGPT can't?
Acti acts directly in the app you're typing in and uses your connected apps — drafting replies, creating meeting links, running Acts — without copy-pasting between windows.
Do I still need ChatGPT?
They complement each other. Many people use ChatGPT for long-form work and Acti for getting things done while they type.
Is Acti free?
Acti is free to download on iOS and Android. The Free plan includes daily AI Credits for running Acts, and Acti Pro adds more credits, advanced models and Acti for Mac.
