Adept ACT-1

Adept ACT-1 (Action Transformer) represents a fundamental shift in AI capability, moving beyond textual generation into direct digital agency. Unlike standard LLMs that predict the next word, ACT-1 is trained on interactions with software, effectively treating the Graphical User Interface (GUI) as a sequence of observations and actions. In the 2026 market, ACT-1 serves as a high-level orchestration layer that allows users to execute complex, multi-step workflows across disparate software tools—such as Salesforce, Excel, and custom web apps—using only natural language. Technically, it functions by mapping pixels and DOM elements to semantic actions, enabling it to 'see' a screen like a human and 'click' or 'type' accordingly. Following the strategic licensing deal with Amazon in late 2024, the technology has evolved into a robust enterprise-grade solution, prioritizing security sandboxing and human-in-the-loop oversight. It is positioned as the primary alternative to traditional, brittle RPA, providing a flexible intelligence that can handle UI changes without breaking scripts.
