frequently asked.

folk is a personal ai teammate that lives where you already chat — imessage, telegram, discord. text it, and it gets things done. it has its own computer, schedules itself, remembers what you talked about months ago. it's a cloud-hosted, always-on agent built on top of the open-source hermes agent.

folk is highly customizable. out of the box it ships with skills for coding, research, web browsing, reminders, and scheduling. you can teach it new tricks by connecting any tool that speaks mcp — your own apis, databases, internal tools, anything. if you want a specific integration we don't have yet, email arlan@nozomio.com.

after you sign up and subscribe, you'll get a phone number to text from imessage, plus a telegram bot you can connect from your dashboard. discord and other platforms are rolling out next.

no. we don't and never will train models on your data. your conversations and memory are yours.

every folk runs in its own isolated sandbox with its own credentials. nothing is shared between users. your api keys, your integrations, and your conversation history never leave your folk's environment and are never exposed to anyone — including us, except when strictly required to operate the service.

go to your dashboard, open settings → privacy → delete my account. that cancels your subscription immediately and permanently removes your account, conversations, and memory. it can't be undone.

folk ships with a stack of built-in skills (coding, research, browsing, reminders, scheduling) and you can plug in anything that speaks the model context protocol (mcp). that means you can wire up notion, linear, github, postgres, your own internal tools — if it has an mcp server, folk can use it. for one-click integrations we don't have yet, email arlan@nozomio.com and tell us what you need.

not yet — but you can connect them today with about 5–10 minutes of setup. you create your own google oauth client and hand folk the credentials, so your inbox and calendar never go through a shared app.

1. go to console.cloud.google.com and create a new project (or pick an existing one).
2. under apis & services → library, enable the gmail api and the google calendar api.
3. go to oauth consent screen, pick external, fill in the basics, and add your own email as a test user.
4. go to credentials → create credentials → oauth client id, pick desktop app, and copy the client id and client secret.
5. text folk something like “connect my gmail and calendar” and paste in the client id and secret when it asks. folk handles the rest of the oauth flow and stores the tokens in your sandbox.

if this sounds annoying — yes, it kind of is. native one-click gmail and calendar are on the roadmap. let us know it matters to you at arlan@nozomio.com so we prioritize it.

yes. folk runs your own anthropic, openai, or openrouter keys if you prefer — kept inside your sandbox, never shared. ask folk to switch models or set keys directly in chat.

folk is $20 / month, flat. payments are handled by stripe. you can manage your card, see invoices, or cancel from settings → billing.

everything, basically:

• unlimited access to any frontier model of your choice — claude, gpt, gemini, whatever you want folk to think with.
• every built-in skill — coding, research, browsing, reminders, scheduling, and more as we ship them.
• every integration we support, plus the ability to plug in your own via mcp.
• every platform we're on — imessage, telegram, discord, and the rest as they roll out.
• white-glove support straight from the nozomio team. you email, we reply.

yes. cancel from settings → billing → manage on stripe. you keep access until the end of the current billing period.

your phone is your identity, so a new number means a new account. email arlan@nozomio.com from the old number and we'll migrate your subscription and memory to the new one.
