# folk vs Genspark

> Genspark is an AI agent and agentic browser for research and web tasks. Folk is a personal AI in your iMessage and Telegram with memory and built-in skills.

Genspark is an AI agent product built around the browser: a super agent that runs multi-step web tasks, plus generated decks, sheets, and pages. It is fast and broad. Folk is narrower on purpose - a personal AI in your iMessage, Telegram, and WhatsApp with a memory of your life and real-world skills like restaurant booking and flight tracking built in.

## Why people switch from Genspark to folk

### folk is a text away

Genspark is something you open: a browser or a tab, then a session. Folk is already in the thread you use all day, so the assistant is one message away and the answer comes back the same way.

### memory that compounds

Genspark is strong inside a task. Folk keeps a persistent memory graph across every conversation - your people, routines, and preferences - so requests get shorter and results get more like you the longer you use it.

### it acts on your life, not just the web

Folk books a table on Resy, watches a fare and pings you on the drop, triages your Gmail, and sends a morning briefing on a schedule. These are built-in skills, not prompts you have to re-run.

### flat, predictable pricing

Genspark meters agent work in credits, so heavier tasks draw the pool down faster and the bill moves with usage. Folk is free to start, $20/month Pro, and $100/month Max, flat.
