Acti raises $5.3M for AI keyboard agents
Singapore-based Acti launched an agentic keyboard for iOS and Android and raised a $5.3M seed round led by BITKRAFT Ventures.
Consumer AI may not need another app icon. It may need to sit inside the keyboard people already use all day.
What happened
Singapore-based Acti launched an agentic keyboard for iOS and Android and closed a $5.3M seed round led by BITKRAFT Ventures.
The keyboard lets users trigger AI actions across apps, with early testers building more than 1,000 Skills in under two weeks.
Why it matters
The keyboard is one of the most-used surfaces on a phone. By putting AI agents there, Acti is trying to make AI available across apps instead of trapping it inside a standalone chatbot.
That could make consumer AI feel more like a utility layer than a separate destination.
The bigger picture
The next consumer AI interface is still unsettled. Some companies are building apps, some are building wearables, and others are embedding AI into existing surfaces.
Acti fits the embedded approach: put agents where users already type, search, message and work.
