What Think-Act does

Start with the work already in front of you

A task might begin with a PDF, screenshot, selected paragraph, scan, local file, or recording. Think-Act keeps that source close while you extract information, improve text, capture a process, or coordinate a larger task.

Use the smallest useful tool first

Rewrite text, inspect a document, or record a process without turning a simple job into automation.

Use the Desktop Agent when the work spans steps

Give it a bounded outcome, choose what it may use, respond to approvals, and review the result.

Inside Think-Act

Pick the capability that fits the job. Connect the work when it grows

Writing, document intelligence, and recording remain useful on their own. The Desktop Agent adds coordination when one outcome spans context, several capabilities, connected tools, or approval steps.

Multi-step work

Desktop Agent

Give Think-Act a clear outcome, not unlimited control

Give Think-Act the source material, the outcome you want, and the capabilities available to the run. Follow supported activity, respond where approval is required, and review the result before relying on it.

  • Optional success criteria can define a clearer finish line
  • Supported execution activity can remain available for review
  • Consequential actions can follow ALLOW, ASK, or BLOCK policy
  • A reviewed method can later become a reusable local Skill
Review How the Desktop Agent Runs Tasks

Write, rewrite, translate or summarize

Rewrite, summarize, clarify, translate, or draft from selected or supplied text, then review the result before using it.

See Writing Assistance in Action

Extract and review document content

Extract text and useful document information from supported scans, screenshots, images, and PDFs, then organize or carry it into the next step.

Review OCR & Document Intelligence

Record a process and prepare documentation

Capture a walkthrough, procedure, or bug reproduction so the real sequence remains available for documentation or later analysis.

See Screen Recording Workflows
Writing assistance

Start with the words already in front of you

Select or supply the text you are already working with, tell Think-Act what should change, and review the draft before using it. Rewrite, summarize, translate, clarify, or adjust tone without rebuilding the context from scratch.

Improve text without changing the meaning

Rewrite awkward wording, improve clarity, shorten a passage, or adjust the tone while keeping the original nearby for comparison.

Turn longer text into something easier to use

Summarize notes, messages, passages, or supplied content into a more focused draft without losing sight of the source.

Keep the result as a draft until you review it

Compare the generated version with the original, make any final edits, and decide what should actually be copied, saved, or shared.

Source

Extract

Text & useful fields

Verify

Compare with source

Example: extract an invoice's supplier, reference, total, and due date while keeping the original available for verification.
Documents, scans & screenshots

Get the information you need without losing sight of the source

Think-Act helps turn visual documents into usable working context. Extract the text, identify the details that matter, and keep the original close enough to check important values before they move into the next step.

Read visual content

Extract text from supported scans, screenshots, photographed pages, images, and image-based PDFs instead of entering it again manually.

Turn extraction into useful structure

Organize names, dates, references, totals, and other useful fields rather than stopping at one long block of extracted text.

Verify before the information travels

Check important wording and values against the original before using them in a reply, report, comparison, or larger Think-Act task.

Screen recording & documentation

Show the process once. Turn it into something reusable

Record a process while the details are still visible. Think-Act keeps that capture available as a reference so you can turn what actually happened into documentation that is easier to review, share, and repeat.

Recurring workflow step-by-step procedure

Preserve the real order of a routine task before turning it into an SOP or internal guide.

Bug reproduction clearer handoff

Keep the visible sequence and failure context available while preparing reproducible steps.

Recording reviewed documentation

Compare the draft with the original capture before someone else relies on it.

Record Prepare Review Reuse

The recording is the reference, not the finished documentation. Review the draft against what actually happened before sharing or reusing it.

A Think-Act recording can preserve the real sequence of a workflow and serve as context for preparing and reviewing reusable documentation.
A reviewable agent run

Follow the task from source to checked result

A useful Desktop Agent run should make the important parts understandable: what it started from, which capabilities were used, where approval was required, and what still needs checking.

Keep the task, source material, supported activity, approval requests, and final result understandable as the work progresses.
  1. Define

    Give the run a specific outcome

    Describe what should be achieved and, when useful, define criteria that make the finish line easier to recognize.

    Example: “Extract the invoice details, identify anything inconsistent, and prepare a reviewable reply.”

  2. Context

    Add only what the task depends on

    Bring in relevant documents, screenshots, files, selected text, recordings, transcripts, or extracted information rather than treating the entire desktop as task context.

    Files PDFs Screenshots Selected text Recordings
  3. Capabilities

    Keep available tools intentional

    The run can use supported Think-Act capabilities and connected tools that are available to it. A connector that is disabled, unavailable, or unhealthy stays outside the task.

  4. Approval

    Pause where policy requires your decision

    Supported consequential actions can proceed automatically, ask for confirmation, or remain blocked according to the configured policy.

    ALLOW ASK BLOCK
  5. Verify

    Check the result against the original task

    Inspect the result together with relevant supported activity and compare important values, claims, or conclusions with the original material before relying on them.

Extend a workflow deliberately

Skills preserve the method. Connectors extend the reach

Skills and connectors solve different parts of the problem. A Skill preserves a useful way of working. A connector gives the task access to another supported capability when the workflow actually needs it.

Reusable method

Think-Act Skills

Keep a good way of working

Turn reviewed instructions, checks, and conventions into a reusable local Skill so the next similar task does not have to start from scratch.

Useful when

You already have a method that works and want future tasks to follow it consistently.

  • Preserve task instructions and conventions
  • Keep useful review checks
  • Repeat a proven workflow pattern
Tool access

MCP & connectors

Give the task another capability

Connect a supported local or external tool when the workflow needs access beyond Think-Act's core desktop capabilities.

Useful when

The task needs to interact with another supported capability instead of only working with supplied context.

  • Add supported external capabilities
  • Keep tool access scoped to the workflow
  • Apply approval policy to supported actions

Allow

Proceed by policy

Ask

Pause for decision

Block

Keep unavailable

Know where task data can be processed

Think-Act runs on the desktop, while configured models, endpoints, or connectors may process task data elsewhere. Review the data-flow guidance before working with sensitive material.

Security & control

Decide what can happen before the task starts

A desktop agent may work with files, applications, and connected systems. Think-Act keeps access and approval policy visible so important actions remain deliberate and reviewable.

Scoped capabilities

Unavailable or disabled connectors stay outside the run.

Action policies

Supported actions can allow, ask, or remain blocked.

Reviewable activity

Inspect supported observations, approvals, tool calls, and results.

Data flow awareness

Processing location depends on the configured model, endpoint, connector, and workflow.

Common questions

What to know before you install

The essentials about desktop support, connectors, approvals, processing, and how Think-Act differs from a browser-only AI workflow.

What exactly is Think-Act?

Think-Act is a desktop AI workspace for Windows and macOS. It brings together writing assistance, OCR and document intelligence, screen recording, reusable Skills, integrations, and a controlled Desktop Agent guide for work that needs several coordinated steps.

Which desktop platforms are supported?

Think-Act is available for Windows and macOS. Visit Windows and macOS downloads for the current installers and platform requirements.

Do I need MCP connectors to use Think-Act?

No. Writing assistance, OCR and document intelligence, and screen recording can be used without MCP. A connector matters when a task needs access to another supported capability. See Skills and connector guide for the distinction between reusable instructions and tool access.

Can the Desktop Agent take actions without asking me?

That depends on the capability and the policy configured for the run. Supported actions can be set to ALLOW, ASK, or BLOCK. A capability that is unavailable or disabled cannot be used by the task. Review security and approval model before enabling higher-impact actions.

Does Think-Act run everything locally?

Not necessarily. Think-Act runs as a desktop application, but the processing location depends on the model, endpoint, connector, and workflow you configure. Check the data-flow guidance before using sensitive material.

How is Think-Act different from browser-only AI?

Browser AI often begins by asking you to move or describe the context first. Think-Act is designed around desktop work, so a task can begin from the text, document, screenshot, recording, or file already involved in the job and bring in additional capabilities only when they are useful.
