Real-Time AI Is More Than Faster Chat

Thinking Machines Interaction Models is a research-preview AI model experience for real-time human-AI collaboration across audio, video, and text. It focuses on micro-turn interactions, letting people and AI systems exchange short, fluid signals instead of waiting for long prompt-and-response cycles. Teams can use the work as inspiration for collaborative interfaces, multimodal assistants, shared creative tools, and agent workflows where timing and context matter as much as raw model capability. It is most relevant for AI product builders, researchers, interface designers, and developers exploring the next generation of interactive systems. What makes it stand out is the emphasis on coordination: the model concept treats AI as an active collaborator that can listen, respond, and adapt continuously across multiple communication modes.

Acti is the world's first agentic smartphone keyboard, built by TypeX Limited for iOS and Android. Instead of just rewriting text, you type an intent anywhere, long-press the Acti Bar, and Acti retrieves the right result, link, or action inline - pulling a Notion doc, finding a nearby restaurant, grabbing a live sports schedule, or firing a Calendar action without leaving the conversation. Users build no-code Skill Keys that mash up 100+ APIs and apps into custom mobile workflows, share them in the Acti community, and every Skill runs only on explicit trigger with permission-based OAuth. Backed by Google AI Startups, Acti was ranked #1 on Product Hunt's July 2026 monthly leaderboard and covered by TechCrunch, Digital Trends, and Superhuman for turning the keyboard itself into an AI agent surface. It targets anyone who lives in messaging, email, and text fields and wants the agent to come to where the work already happens.

YUKTAAI is an AI commerce-agent platform for turning website, WhatsApp, app and social conversations into sales and support workflows. It deploys AI product advisors, conversational sales automation, smart upsell and cross-sell logic, support automation and omnichannel customer assistance so businesses can respond to visitor intent without adding headcount. The tool is most relevant for ecommerce teams, DTC brands and growth operators that already have traffic but need better conversion from product questions, hesitations and abandoned buying moments. It surfaced through the just-released agents list on There’s An AI For That and the official homepage verifies the agent positioning, commerce use case, product-advisor workflow and founder-led positioning around acting on consumer behavior signals.
