DXY AI Keyboard

DXY AI Keyboard DXY AI turns your iPhone keyboard into a smart writing assistant that works right where you type. There's no more copying text into another app or switching back and forth. Whenever you're writing a message, an email, a caption, or a reply, just tap the sparkle key and let AI help you say it better. It fixes your grammar and spelling before you hit send, rewrites a sentence so it reads more clearly, and can shift the tone to sound more professional, friendly, or confident depending on who you're talking to. If a message is too long, it shortens it. If it's too short, it expands on your idea. It can even continue writing where you left off, or turn a quick note into a complete, well written email. Talking to someone in another language is simple too. DXY AI translates your text into 21 languages instantly, inside whatever app you're using. And when you're not sure how to respond, Smart Reply reads the conversation and suggests a natural answer for you. The most flexible tool is Ask AI. You just tell it what you want in plain words, like "reply politely saying no" or "make this sound more exciting," and it writes it for you. As you type, DXY AI also offers fast word suggestions so you spend less time tapping. You can hear any result read aloud with automatic language detection, which is handy for checking translations. Every result can be used, copied, or shared in a single tap, and your recent results are saved in your history so nothing gets lost. Typing feels quick and responsive, and the app quietly picks the fastest AI for each task so simple fixes happen almost instantly. It comes with a full emoji keyboard and both light and dark themes, and it works everywhere, from Messages and WhatsApp to Mail, Notes, and beyond. Your privacy comes first. DXY AI never records or sends the things you type normally. The only text that ever leaves your device is what you deliberately hand to an AI tool, and nothing about your writing is stored or profiled. DXY AI is free to use with daily AI credits. When you need more, you can watch a short ad to top up instantly, with no subscription required. Getting started takes less than a minute. Open DXY AI, go to Settings, then General, then Keyboard, then Keyboards, and add DXY AI. Turn on Allow Full Access so the AI features can work, then tap the sparkle key in any app and start writing smarter.

Verdict

Oaklet Notes's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
