meet folk
folk is a personal ai that lives in your texts. here's what it is, and where to go next.
folk is a personal ai that lives in your texts. you talk to it the same way you'd text a friend who happens to be extremely capable, never sleeps, and actually remembers what you told them last week.
no new app to learn. no dashboard you have to babysit. you just text folk in imessage or telegram, and it gets things done — booking the table, planning the date, watching the flight, drafting the reply, remembering the details.
the one-line version
it's the ai in your texts that gets stuff done — and remembers what you actually like.
what folk can do
a few things people text folk for every day:
- plan things — "plan a date friday night in the mission, somewhere cozy"
- book things — folk opens its own browser, fills the form, and hands off to you to log in or pay
- remember things — "my sister is vegetarian and hates cilantro"
- keep an eye on things — "tell me if the price drops" or "ping me if my flight time changes"
- handle email & calendar — "what's on my schedule tomorrow?"
- take meeting notes — folk joins your calls and writes up the summary
- run errands in the background — "hunt for apartments and keep me posted"
- show up at the right place — share your live location and folk reminds you of things where they matter
- do real research — "find me a good fade near soho"
folk has its own little computer in the cloud that runs around the clock — with a real web browser, memory, and the ability to keep working on something even after you've put your phone down. it connects to hundreds of apps, too.
