Assistants & Chatbots

Acti is one of the clearest attempts to make AI agentic at the mobile input layer: instead of opening a chatbot, users can trigger search, retrieval and connected actions from the keyboard they already use.

Ariso is an unusually ambitious attempt to turn an AI chief of staff into a company-wide management layer.
