Agentic Keyboard Examples: Real Mobile AI Workflows
Agentic keyboards turn typing moments into actions. Here are real examples of what that looks like in practice — with honest notes on what is available today vs. what is still emerging.
How to Read the Availability Badges
What Counts as an Agentic Keyboard Example?
A real agentic keyboard example includes three elements: intent (what you want to do), context (where you are, who you're talking to), and action (a completed task, not just better text). If the keyboard only suggests better words, that's an AI keyboard example — not an agentic one.
For the full definition, see our concept guide and comparison page.
Example Workflows
Eight concrete examples showing what agentic keyboards can do. Each includes an availability badge so you know what is usable today.
Search restaurants from a chat
Emerging"find sushi near Shibuya for tonight"
The keyboard detects the search intent, queries a maps or restaurant service directly from the typing surface, and returns ranked results with ratings and availability.
Top 5 sushi spots with ratings, distance, and tappable reservation links shown inline
Acti can perform this on iOS where available. Gboard can search Google from the keyboard but returns web results, not structured restaurant cards.
Book a table from the keyboard
Emerging"book a table for 4 at 8pm"
The keyboard connects to a supported reservation service, checks availability, and presents confirmable reservation options within the keyboard interface.
Available time slots at nearby restaurants; tap to confirm booking
Acti supports booking-style integrations where available. Requires calendar and potentially location permissions. Service coverage varies by region.
Share a map or location into a message
Today"send the restaurant address to the group chat"
The keyboard pulls the current location or a recently searched place and composes a shareable map link or address card without app-switching.
A tappable location card inserted directly into the message thread
Gboard can share search results from the keyboard. Acti supports location sharing. Both require appropriate permissions.
Draft a reply using calendar context
Companion-app workflow"reply to this email and suggest 3 times next week"
The agentic keyboard reads the incoming message, checks your calendar for open slots, drafts a context-aware reply with specific available times.
A polished draft reply with 3 specific time slots, ready to send or edit
ChatGPT with calendar integration can draft these replies, but requires switching to the ChatGPT app. No keyboard today does this fully on-device with calendar access.
Summarize a web page and send key points
Companion-app workflow"summarize this article and share the key points"
The keyboard processes the current page or pasted text, extracts the most important points, and produces a concise summary for sharing.
A 3-bullet summary formatted for quick sharing, with source link preserved
Perplexity and ChatGPT can summarize articles and web pages. You copy-paste results into your typing app. Not available inline from a keyboard today.
Translate and localize a message
Today"translate this into Japanese and keep it casual"
The keyboard detects the target language from your instruction, translates the draft while preserving the requested tone, and inserts the translation inline.
A natural-sounding translation dropped inline, no copy-paste between a translation app
SwiftKey and Gboard both support inline translation. Grammarly supports tone and writing suggestions. The inline keyboard translation experience is one of the more mature examples on this page.
Create a reminder or task from typed intent
Conceptual"remind me to follow up on this tomorrow at 9am"
The keyboard parses the natural-language reminder request, creates a task with the correct date and time in your preferred task manager or reminders app.
A confirmed reminder set for tomorrow at 9am, with a link back to the original context
Siri and Google Assistant can create reminders by voice. No keyboard today reliably creates app-based reminders from typed intent. Shortcuts + AI can build this as a custom automation.
Compare products or options inline
Companion-app workflow"compare these two headphones on price, battery, and reviews"
The keyboard searches for the mentioned products, pulls key specs, and formats a side-by-side comparison in the typing area.
A clean comparison table with price, battery life, and average review score for both products
Perplexity and ChatGPT can research and compare products with web search. Copy-paste results into your conversation. No keyboard does this inline today.
True Agentic vs. Adjacent AI
True Agentic Keyboard
Executes actions from the keyboard. Search, book, share, and run workflows without leaving the typing surface.
Example: Acti
AI Keyboard
Improves text — grammar, tone, predictions, translation. Covers writing-focused examples but does not execute tasks.
Examples: Grammarly, SwiftKey, Gboard
Mobile AI Agent
Can act on intent but runs as a separate app — requires app-switching, not keyboard-native.
Examples: ChatGPT, Perplexity

Why These Examples Matter
Each example replaces 3-5 app switches with one keyboard interaction. Multiply that by dozens of small tasks per day, and the productivity gain is significant.
The keyboard is already the most-used surface on every phone. Making it agentic is an evolution, not a replacement. These examples show the pattern: stay in the conversation, let the keyboard handle the friction between apps.
Privacy Note
Agentic examples often require more permissions than standard keyboards. Always check what permissions a keyboard requests. Read our full privacy guide before enabling Full Access or granting broad permissions.
