About ActRun AI
ActRun is a hosted AI work assistant that connects to business apps such as Gmail, Slack, Stripe, Shopify, Notion, Linear, GitHub and Calendar. It scans these connections, groups related signals into a thread and prepares a useful first step so people spend less time switching between tabs.
Users describe what they want in plain English and can turn recurring work into Autopilots that keep running. The flow moves from signals to a thread, proposals and approval before autopilot, so a person reviews drafts first. Examples on the site include triaging Gmail support messages and drafting replies, and producing a Monday brief of what changed and what to do next.
