# plan a date

> "Folk's flagship trick: a time-boxed, shareable date plan grounded in actual places."

planning a date is the thing Folk is best at. instead of a vague list of
suggestions, you get a usable itinerary: a few stops, in an order that makes
sense, with actual places that are open, plus one tidy link you can
send to whoever you're going with.

start it however you like:

> /date

> plan a date friday night near hayes valley, somewhere cozy, not too pricey

## what folk will ask

to make a plan that's useful, Folk needs a few things. it'll ask for
whatever you didn't already say:

- **where**: a neighborhood or area (not just "near me"; the date might not be
  where you are right now)
- **when**: the day and rough time
- **who / the vibe**: first date? anniversary? casual? fancy?
- **budget**: so it doesn't send you somewhere out of range

it also leans on your [memory](/docs/memory). if Folk already knows your date
is vegetarian or that you love natural wine, it factors that in without you
repeating yourself.

## sharing your location

so Folk grounds the plan in the right place, it'll ask where you are or where
the date should be. how that works depends on your app:

**Telegram**

Folk pops up a one-tap **share location** button. press it and you're done. no
typing an address. (this works in private chats with the bot.)

**iMessage**

there's no one-tap button in iMessage, so just tell Folk the neighborhood, or
drop an **Apple Maps link** to the spot you have in mind. Folk recognizes the
link and uses it.

## what you get back

Folk does the legwork: checking hours, vibe, and (where it can) availability.
then it sends you a finished plan as a shareable page. open it, send it to your
date, done.

  it takes Folk a bit of time to research real spots and build the plan. it'll
  tell you it's working and message you the moment it's ready. you can put your
  phone down.

## tweaking it

don't love a stop? just say so.

> swap the second spot for something with outdoor seating

> can we start later, like 8?

Folk adjusts and re-sends the plan.
