meet Folk
basically, Folk is your own personal AI that lives in your texts
you talk to Folk the same way you'd text a friend who happens to be extremely capable, never sleeps, and remembers what you told them last week.
no new app to learn. no dashboard you have to babysit. no bloated software ritual.
all you have to do is text Folk in iMessage, Telegram, or WhatsApp, and it gets things done
booking a table, planning a date, watching a flight, auditing your subscriptions, drafting a reply, remembering a detail.
more specifically..
a few things people text Folk for every day:
- plan things: "find us somewhere cozy for friday night in the mission"
- book things: Folk opens its own browser, fills the form, and hands off to you to log in or pay
- watch your money: "audit my subscriptions" - Folk finds the junk fees and fights them for you
- remember things: "my sister is vegetarian and hates cilantro"
- keep an eye on things: "tell me if the price drops" or "ping me if my flight time changes"
- handle email & calendar: "what's on my schedule tomorrow?"
- take meeting notes: Folk joins your calls and writes up the summary
- call you when it matters: "call me at 7am and don't stop until I sound awake"
- show up at the right place: share your live location and Folk reminds you of things where they matter
- do real research: "find me a good fade near soho"
- make things: a mini-site for your party, a PDF, a chart - sent right back in chat
Folk has its own computer in the cloud
with a real web browser, memory, and the ability to keep working on something even after you've put your phone down.
