# an ai you can talk to anytime

> Folk is a personal AI you can talk to over text - a judgment-free place to vent, process your day, and think out loud, available 24/7 with memory of what you're going through. $20/mo.

Sometimes you don't need advice or a task done - you just need to get it out, to someone who'll actually listen and remember. Folk is a personal AI you can talk to anytime, right in your texts: a judgment-free place to vent after a brutal day, process what you're feeling, or think out loud until it makes sense. It listens, reflects it back, asks the question that helps, and remembers what you're going through so you never start from zero.

## How folk does it

### say it, however messy

No prompt, no structure. Dump the rant, the worry, or the "I don't even know what's wrong" - folk takes it in and responds like someone who's actually paying attention, any hour.

### feel heard, then a little clearer

Folk reflects back what it's hearing, helps you name what you're feeling, and asks the gentle question that untangles it - closer to talking to a thoughtful friend than typing at a chatbot.

### it remembers, so you don't repeat yourself

Folk holds the thread of your life - the stress at work, the thing with your family - so when you come back tomorrow it already knows the context and picks up where you left off.

## Example conversation

**You:** today was just a lot. i'm so done

**folk:** I'm here - dump it on me. What made today the one that tipped over: the work stuff, or something else?

**You:** work. i feel like nothing i do is enough

**folk:** That's an exhausting way to spend a day - carrying "not enough" on top of the actual work. Is this a today feeling, or has it been building for a while? No rush, I've got time.

## FAQ

### Is folk a replacement for therapy?

No - and it won't pretend to be. Folk is a supportive, always-available place to talk and process, not a licensed therapist. If you're really struggling or in crisis, it will gently point you to a professional or a crisis line, and can help you find one.

### Will it remember what I told it?

Yes. Folk keeps private memory of what you're going through, so you don't have to re-explain your life each time. You can also ask it to forget anything, anytime.

### Is what I say private?

Completely. Folk runs in your own isolated sandbox, only sees what you send it, and never trains on your data. It's just for you. $20/mo for Pro, with a free tier to start.
