What Think-Act is

Think-Act is a desktop AI workspace for writing, document processing, screen recording, reusable instructions, connected tools, and controlled desktop tasks. Its Writing Assistant can rewrite, summarize, translate, change tone, shorten, or reorganize supplied text. OCR and Document Intelligence work with supported screenshots, scans, images, forms, receipts, invoices, and image-based PDFs. Screen Recorder captures desktop sequences and can help produce SOP drafts, bug-reproduction steps, checklists, workflow summaries, and transcripts when narration exists. The Desktop Agent performs bounded tasks using supplied context and selected capabilities, with ALLOW, ASK, or BLOCK policies for supported actions and reviewable results. Local Skills preserve instructions, checks, prerequisites, and expected output structure. Connectors can reach configured local or external tools, while core writing, OCR, document intelligence, and recording do not require MCP connectors. Windows supports 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. The free plan has limited usage; macOS release is planned for Q1 2027.
