# an ai life coach in your pocket

> Folk is a personal AI life coach over text. It helps you set goals, untangle decisions, build habits, and follow through - checking in like a coach who actually remembers you. $20/mo.

A good life coach does three things: helps you get clear on what you want, helps you think through what's in the way, and keeps you moving toward it. Folk is that, in your texts, for $20 a month instead of $200 an hour. It helps you set real goals, talk through the big decisions, build the habits underneath them, and follow through week after week - and because it remembers everything, every conversation builds on the last.

## How folk does it

### get clear on what you actually want

Folk asks the right questions instead of handing you platitudes - helping you cut through the noise to what you actually want this season, and turning it into goals concrete enough to act on.

### think through the hard stuff

Stuck on a decision or in a rut? Talk it out with folk. It helps you see the situation clearly, weigh the options, and find the next step - a thinking partner that's available at 11pm, not next Tuesday.

### build the habits and follow through

Folk turns goals into daily habits, checks in to keep you honest, and adjusts when you slip - the accountability and consistency that's the difference between a great plan and an actual change.

## Example conversation

**You:** i feel stuck. like i'm busy all the time but not actually moving forward

**folk:** That's a real and common kind of stuck - motion without progress. Quick gut-check: if this year went perfectly, what's the one thing that would be different by December? Don't overthink it, first answer.

**You:** honestly i'd have left my job and started something

**folk:** That's clarity, and not a small thing. Let's make it less scary: what's one 30-minute step this week toward "started something" - not quitting, just exploring? I'll help you pick it and check in Friday.

## FAQ

### Is folk a replacement for a human coach or therapist?

Folk is a powerful, always-on thinking partner and accountability coach for everyday goals and decisions. It's not a licensed therapist - for clinical or crisis support it will encourage you toward a professional, and can help you find one.

### How is this different from just asking ChatGPT for advice?

Folk remembers you. It tracks your goals across weeks, checks in proactively, and holds you accountable from your texts - a continuous relationship, not a one-off answer you re-explain every time.

### What can I bring to it?

Anything: career moves, confidence, habits, big decisions, feeling stuck. Folk meets you in your texts, judgment-free, and remembers the whole journey. $20/mo for Pro, with a free tier to start.
