Smarty

Smarty is an AI assistant and AI-powered keyboard for iPhone and iPad from FAT, LLC. Working as a keyboard, it helps users draft messages in any app, from essays and argument emails to messages to a crush. Smarty also holds conversations, summarizes articles, websites and videos into the user's language, and translates messages, and it sits in the Productivity category of the App Store.

Smarty's AI converses with the user and suggests wording for a message in real time, which helps with writer's block or finding the right words. Its summarizer condenses any article, website or video into the user's own language so it is easier to understand and share. The translation tool converts messages into a preferred language for conversations with friends or colleagues in other parts of the world.

Every user gets some complimentary messages before reaching the paywall, and the number depends on how long and complex each question is. Because AI assistance needs significant computing power, unlimited use requires a subscription. In-app purchases include a Smarty Weekly Membership at $6.99, a Smarty Monthly Membership at $14.99, and Smarty Annual Memberships at $29.99 and $39.99.

Smarty requires iOS 16.0 or later on iPhone, iPadOS 16.0 or later on iPad, macOS 13.0 or later on a Mac with an Apple M1 chip, and visionOS 1.0 or later on Apple Vision; it is designed for iPad and not verified for macOS. The app is available in English and 8 more languages, including French, German, Japanese, Korean and Spanish. The developer states that no data is collected, and the app is rated 4+.
