# Think-Act Features

Think-Act combines the core tools needed for daily AI-assisted work in one desktop application. It is built to help users finish work with context, evidence, and control.

## Feature Overview

Use Think-Act as a practical workbench.

- Desktop AI agent for multi-step work.
- Writing assistant for selected text and prompt-only generation.
- OCR and document intelligence for scans, screenshots, PDFs, and forms.
- Screen recorder for SOPs, bug reports, and training material.
- Local skills for repeatable playbooks.
- MCP connectors for tool access when trusted and enabled.
- Security center for approvals, policy, and guardrails.

## Desktop Agent

The agent workspace is for tasks that need more than a single rewrite.

- Describe the task in plain language.
- Add success criteria when the result must meet a condition.
- Ask the agent to verify before it reports completion.
- Review the final answer, evidence, and tool observations.
- Inspect history and recovery options.
- Save useful workflows as skills.

- Translate or simplify content.
- Improve tone, structure, and clarity.
- Ignore clipboard content when prompt-only mode is needed.
- Use keyboard shortcuts for fast access.

## Skills And Connectors

Skills guide behavior. Connectors provide real tool access.

- Built-in skills help with research, review, writing, planning, and structured work.
- Imported skills can capture organization-specific playbooks.
- Local MCP servers can expose tools running on the user device.
- Cloud MCP and A2A remote agents are planned enterprise layers, not part of this release.
- The agent should recommend missing connectors instead of inventing tool calls.

## Security And Recovery

Automation needs safe defaults.

- Enable only trusted MCP servers.
- Disable failed tools automatically.
- Require confirmation for risky actions.
- Rewind or inspect changes when available.
- Keep logs visible for execution and troubleshooting.
- Use local or private endpoints for sensitive data where configured.

## FAQ

Start with writing or OCR if you want immediate value. Start with the desktop agent when the task has multiple steps.

No. Tools must be configured and enabled before the agent can use them.

### Can Think-Act be used by teams?

Yes, but team deployment should include policies, approved connectors, and a managed installation path.
