Young Wang
Founder
Acti
Young Wang spent a decade at Baidu growing its Facemoji Keyboard to more than 300 million daily active users, according to The Byte Report. Large language models changed how he saw text input. "Text was no longer just something people typed; it had become a carrier of intent," he said. He is now founder and CEO of Acti, which puts AI agents into the phone keyboard.
Agents in the Phone Keyboard at Acti
Acti is built on the premise that the keyboard is the most frequently used software interface on a phone, yet it has barely changed in years. It sits across every app on a user's phone. Before launch, early testers built more than 1,000 Skills in less than two weeks.
Seed Funding in 2026
Acti closed $5.3 million in seed funding led by BITKRAFT Ventures. Its founding team includes CTO Mike Sun, who was the founding technical lead behind Baidu's Yike Album, and CSO Junbo Yang, who previously led consumer investments at HashKey Capital.
