Find the answer, then get back to the work

Think-Act is a desktop AI workspace for Windows and macOS that brings writing assistance, OCR and document intelligence, screen recording, reusable local Skills, connected capabilities, and a controlled Desktop Agent into one application. Use a focused tool for a focused job, or use the Desktop Agent when several steps need coordination.

No. Think-Act can use chat-style input, but the workspace is built around desktop context such as selected text, documents, screenshots, copied images, recordings, local files, Skills, and enabled tools. The goal is a result you can inspect and reuse, not only a conversational reply.

Think-Act is for people who regularly work with writing, documents, screenshots, recorded procedures, or repeatable desktop tasks. You can use the focused tools without setting up automation, then add Skills or connectors when a workflow genuinely benefits from them.

Yes. Think-Act is free to install and try. Stay on Free while it meets your needs. Choose Pro when regular individual work starts hitting plan limits, or review Business when several people need coordinated workflows, purchasing, security review, support, or rollout planning. See the plan guide for the current positioning.

The Desktop Agent coordinates bounded multi-step work using the context and capabilities available to the task. Give it the source material, the outcome you want, and the tools or Skills that are appropriate. Supported activity and results can then be reviewed before you rely on them.

A success goal is an optional, checkable finish condition for a task. For example, you might require every invoice to have a total extracted or require an output file to exist and contain content. Use one when the task has a clear definition of done; for simpler work, review the result directly. See the Desktop Agent guide.

Only when a supported tool or connector provides that capability and it is installed, enabled, trusted, and permitted for the workflow. Without that capability, Think-Act can still prepare drafts, instructions, extracted data, summaries, and other reviewable outputs.

Yes. Review the result, supported activity, and tool observations before relying on the outcome. Consequential actions can require approval, and supported policies such as ALLOW, ASK, or BLOCK can determine how an action is handled. See the security guide before expanding into higher-impact workflows.

Yes. OCR can extract text from supported screenshots and copied images, then the extracted content can be summarized, searched, reformatted, or used as context for another task. See OCR & Document Intelligence.

Yes. Think-Act can work with supported scanned and image-based PDFs, including files where the text is stored as an image rather than selectable characters. After extraction, you can review the text, summarize it, or pull specific information into the next step.

Yes, for supported documents. Think-Act can help extract items such as names, dates, totals, clauses, and action points, and can organize the result into tables or follow-up drafts. Finance and legal outputs still require appropriate human review.

The Screen Recorder captures a real desktop process so the sequence can be reviewed and reused. A recording can become context for a transcript, SOP, bug report, summary, or reusable workflow guidance. It is useful for onboarding, QA walkthroughs, support procedures, and repeatable processes where the steps matter.

Yes. Keep recordings focused on the workflow and avoid credentials, private messages, customer data, or regulated content unless your organization has explicitly approved that use. Follow your storage and retention policy, and review the Screen Recorder guide before capturing sensitive applications.

Use selected text, clipboard content, copied images where supported, or a prompt on its own. Think-Act can draft, rewrite, summarize, translate, clarify, or adjust tone based on the request. When you use prompt-only mode, the task starts from your written instruction rather than clipboard content.

Not by itself. Sending requires a supported connector or tool with the necessary permission, and the workflow must allow the action. Without that capability, the Writing Assistant prepares the content for you to review and send manually. See integrations.

Yes. Prompt-only mode is useful for a first draft, template, fresh translation, or any writing task that does not begin with existing text or an image. See the Writing Assistant guide.

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It lets an AI application use capabilities exposed by an MCP server. Think-Act supports local MCP servers for workflows that need additional tools. A specific local server may require Node.js, npx, Python, or another runtime, but those dependencies are not required for the core writing, OCR, document, and recording workflows.

No. A local MCP package can run code on your device and may reach files, credentials, networks, or application data depending on its permissions. Review the package source and requirements, enable only connectors you trust, and keep unnecessary capabilities disabled. Third-party packages should not be treated as trusted merely because they use MCP.

Skills are reusable workflow or playbook guidance for a task you want to perform consistently. They can preserve useful steps and context for later runs. A Skill does not create a missing tool: if the workflow needs an external capability, the relevant connector still has to exist, be enabled, and be permitted.

No. Cloud connector registries and A2A remote-agent workflows remain roadmap directions, not current-release functionality to depend on for purchasing or deployment. The current product direction centers on local MCP workflows and reusable local Skills. Confirm organization-level or roadmap capabilities with PixLab before planning around them.

No. Core writing, OCR and document intelligence, and screen recording do not require connectors, and tasks that do not need an external capability can also run without them. Add a connector only when a specific workflow needs access to another supported tool or system.

No. Keep the available capabilities intentional. The agent should work only with tools or connectors that are enabled for the workflow, and connector trust still matters. Supported actions can also follow ALLOW, ASK, or BLOCK policy where those controls apply.

Where your configuration supports an approved private or local endpoint, use that configuration according to your organization's policy. Do not assume that running Think-Act as a desktop application means every workflow is processed locally: processing location depends on the model, endpoint, connector, and workflow you configure.

Treat the failed capability as unavailable until it is fixed and reviewed. Do not assume Think-Act will silently substitute another connector. Inspect the supported activity and output, correct the connector or permissions, then decide whether to retry the workflow.

No. Begin with bounded, low-risk tasks that have clear outputs. Keep approval prompts around file changes, messages, and external systems, review activity and results, and reduce friction only after the workflow has proven reliable. See task automation guidance.

Think-Act has desktop versions for Windows and macOS. The downloads page currently provides the direct installer for 64-bit Windows 10 and Windows 11. A direct macOS download link is not listed there yet, so use the downloads page for the current platform status rather than guessing a Mac URL or requirement.

Stay on Free while it meets your needs. Choose Pro when regular individual workflows keep hitting plan limits. Review Business when Think-Act becomes part of coordinated team work and purchasing, support, security review, approved connector policy, or rollout planning matters. Do not assume paid plans are unlimited; check current pricing and allowances in Think-Act. See the upgrade guide.
