memory
folk remembers what matters across every conversation — here's what it keeps, how to see it, and how to clear it.
the thing that makes folk feel less like a chatbot and more like someone who knows you: it remembers. not just within one conversation — across all of them, over time.
tell folk once that your partner is gluten-free, that you hate early meetings, or that you're saving up for a trip to japan, and it'll quietly hold onto that. next time it's relevant, folk just knows.
what folk remembers
mostly the things you'd want a thoughtful assistant to remember:
- people — who matters to you, and the details (birthdays, preferences, dietary stuff)
- your preferences — the food you love, the vibe you like, how you work
- ongoing things — plans in motion, things you're saving for, projects
- useful facts — the little context that makes its help actually fit you
you don't have to "save" anything. folk picks up what's worth keeping as you chat.
seeing your memory
your memory isn't a black box. sign in at getfolk.app and open your dashboard to see your brain — a visual map of everything folk remembers, grouped by people, topics, and more. you can browse it, search it, and read the individual snippets.
importing memory you already have
switching over from chatgpt or claude? you don't have to start folk from scratch. on the import memory page you can paste an export from another assistant and folk will fold the useful bits into its memory.
clearing things out
it's your memory, so you're in control:
- ask folk in chat to forget something — "forget what i said about my old job"
- or open the brain in your dashboard and delete individual memories there
starting a /new conversation only clears the short-term thread of that
chat — it does not touch your long-term memory. your memory persists until you
remove it.
