What it is, and why we rate it

One line each. Open a row for detail.

What it really isAdept Act-1 — enterprise computer-use AI agent that translates natural language into actions across software interfaces.
Our takeAdept Act-1 is strictly enterprise, with custom pricing and no public tiers.
Act-1 is Adept's flagship multimodal agent, trained to perceive screens and execute multi-step workflows via natural language — an early and serious entrant in the computer-use AI space. In mid-2024, Amazon conducted an acqui-hire, bringing on Adept's CEO David Luan and most of the engineering team while licensing the underlying technology. Adept continues under new leadership with a dramatically smaller team, pivoting from building its own foundation models to delivering enterprise agentic solutions atop a mix of its existing tech and third-party models.
Why we rate itAct-1 was technically ahead of its time — computer-use AI before it was mainstream.
The core tech (licensed to Amazon) is real and capable, but the commercial product is in flux following the 2024 leadership exodus.
The catchThe company lost most of its founding team and top researchers to Amazon in 2024; the remaining org is a fraction of its former size.
Long-term product continuity and roadmap confidence are low.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Slow: no self-serve onboarding; value gated behind enterprise sales, custom scoping, and deployment.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Organizational instability post-acqui-hire means scaling commitments carry vendor continuity risk.
  3. Walled garden
    Moderate: agent workflows are built within Adept's proprietary system; switching would require rebuilding automation logic on another platform.
