# folk's browser

> Folk has its own browser. it opens sites, fills forms, books things, and hands off to your phone when a site needs your login.

Folk doesn't just search the web. it has its **own browser** running on its
cloud computer. it can open websites, click
around, fill in forms, and push through multi-step flows, just like you would.
this is what lets Folk *do* things online, not just look them up.

> grab me two tickets to the friday 7pm show

> fill out this rsvp form for me

> check if there's a table at carbone thursday, and if so book it

## when a site needs you

lots of sites need a login, a two-factor code, a captcha, or a tap to confirm a
payment. Folk can't (and shouldn't) do those parts for you, so it **hands the
browser off to your phone**.

### Folk reaches a sensitive step

it's cruising along and reaches a login screen, a "confirm payment" button, or a
captcha.

### Folk texts you a link

Folk sends you a link that opens **its browser, live, on your phone**. you see
exactly the page it's on.

### you do your part

you log in, tap the code, or approve the payment. just that one step.

### Folk takes it from here

you reply **"done"** and Folk picks up right where it left off and finishes the
job.

  you only ever do the sensitive bit: signing in, approving, or confirming. Folk handles all
  the clicking, typing, and waiting around.

## log in once, not every time

for sites you use a lot, Folk can **remember your login per site** after the
first hand-off. next time you ask it to book a table or check an order, it's
already signed in. no link, no re-login.

you can see and revoke the sites Folk has kept signed in from your dashboard
under **sites**.

  Folk keeps each site's login separate and only uses it for things you ask for.
  revoke any of them anytime from the dashboard.

## just looking something up?

you don't need the full browser for quick questions. Folk also does fast web
lookups and reads pages for you:

> what's a good sushi spot open right now near me?

> summarize this article for me [paste a link]

and for heavier work, like comparing lots of options or digging deep, there's
[research](/docs/research), which comes back with a clean, shareable report.

## good to know

- Folk's browser lives on its cloud computer, not your phone. that means it keeps
  working even after you put your phone down.
- some sites actively block bots or have terms that don't allow automation. Folk
  will tell you honestly when it can't get through rather than pretend.
- anything involving your money or your accounts always routes through the
  hand-off so **you** are the one who approves it.
