What Think-Act is
Think-Act is a desktop AI workspace for writing, document intelligence, screen recording, reusable local Skills, connectors, and controlled desktop tasks. Its Writing Assistant can rewrite, summarize, translate, adjust tone, shorten, or reorganize text. OCR and Document Intelligence process supported screenshots, scans, images, forms, receipts, invoices, and image-based PDFs. Screen Recorder captures desktop sequences and helps create SOP drafts, bug-reproduction steps, checklists, workflow summaries, and transcripts when narration exists. The Desktop Agent performs bounded tasks with supplied context and selected capabilities; actions can follow ALLOW, ASK, or BLOCK policies, with activity and results available for review. Local Skills store reusable instructions and checks, while configured connectors can reach local or external tools. Core writing, OCR, document, and recording functions do not require MCP connectors. Windows supports 64-bit Windows 10 and 11; macOS availability is planned for Q1 2027. The free plan includes limited usage.
