folk vs Town
Town (town.com), backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Forerunner, is a deeply capable AI assistant for work — each user gets a 'Townie' and a dedicated @town.com email address that triages your inbox, drafts in your voice, and runs briefings across Gmail, Slack, and your docs. Folk is a personal AI for your whole life that lives in your texts, with its own cloud computer and real-world skills.
why people switch from Town to folk
folk lives in your texts, not an inbox
Town is email-native — you delegate by emailing or CC'ing your @town.com address, plus an app and Slack. Folk lives where you actually chat: iMessage, Telegram, and WhatsApp. You text it like a friend.
built for your life, not just your job
Town is optimized for operators and founders — inbox triage, meeting prep, competitive intel. Folk is optimized for everything: booking dinner, planning a trip, tracking a flight, and remembering your people, alongside work tasks.
folk has its own computer
Folk gives every user a cloud computer that browses the web and runs code, and connects to any tool via MCP. Both assistants are proactive and private; folk adds a real execution environment and consumer skills like Resy booking and flight tracking.
your own models and keys
Folk lets you bring your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or OpenRouter keys, kept in your private sandbox, so you control the models and the spend.
