Intelligence Summary

Acti says its iOS and Android keyboard can host AI agents directly inside the typing experience. Users can create custom shortcuts by describing what they want in natural language. The keyboard is intended to work across apps, not just within a single messaging or assistant app. This raises data-handling and privacy questions about what text is sent to AI services and how it’s processed. Mobile users should review keyboard permissions, understand any cloud processing, and disable features if the behavior is unclear.
