Ask a Question From Inside Any App | Loopal

Frequently asked questions

Can I ask a question without switching to a chat app?
Yes. Hold the Action space bar to summon Loopal inside any app, and drop the answer straight into the field you were typing in.
What makes it a keyboard rather than an assistant?
Reliable Pinyin input and the assistant live in the same place, so answering a question does not mean leaving the conversation you were already in.
Does it need an account?
The assistant can run on platform credits out of the box, or on a backend you bring yourself.
What input methods does it support?
Full continuous Pinyin, 9-key, and handwriting — switchable at any time.

The short answer

Loopal is a Chinese keyboard that puts reliable Pinyin input and a capable conversational assistant in the same place.

Hold the space bar to summon it inside any app — check your schedule, look something up, or draft a reply without leaving the conversation you are in.

Why it is a keyboard and not an assistant

The distinction is the whole design. An assistant that lives in its own app asks you to leave what you were writing, get an answer, and carry it back — and that round trip is what makes people decide the question was not worth asking.

Here the answer drops straight into the field you were typing in. The question is answered in the place the answer was needed.

Three input modes

Switch between continuous Pinyin for two-handed speed, 9-key for one hand, and handwriting for rare characters.
