# 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**](/docs/research): "find us somewhere cozy for friday night in the mission"
- [**book things**](/docs/browser): Folk opens its own browser, fills the form, and hands off to you to log in or pay
- [**watch your money**](/docs/money): "audit my subscriptions" - Folk finds the junk fees and fights them for you
- [**remember things**](/docs/memory): "my sister is vegetarian and hates cilantro"
- [**keep an eye on things**](/docs/reminders): "tell me if the price drops" or "ping me if my flight time changes"
- [**handle email & calendar**](/docs/connecting-apps): "what's on my schedule tomorrow?"
- [**take meeting notes**](/docs/meetings): Folk joins your calls and writes up the summary
- [**call you when it matters**](/docs/calls): "call me at 7am and don't stop until I sound awake"
- [**show up at the right place**](/docs/live-location): share your live location and Folk reminds you of things where they matter
- [**do real research**](/docs/research): "find me a good fade near soho"
- [**make things**](/docs/making-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.

## but the best part is...

Folk connects to **hundreds** of [apps](/docs/connecting-apps)

## start here

  - [getting started](/docs/getting-started): sign up, pick iMessage or Telegram, and send your first message.
  - [talking to Folk](/docs/talking-to-folk): how to ask for things, plus the handy slash commands.
  - [connecting apps](/docs/connecting-apps): Gmail, calendar, and hundreds more. Folk plugs into your tools.
  - [memory](/docs/memory): what Folk remembers, and how to see it.

## go deeper

  - [money](/docs/money): link your bank, audit subscriptions, and let Folk fight the junk fees.
  - [Folk's browser](/docs/browser): Folk opens sites, fills forms, and books things for you.
  - [folkways](/docs/folkways): hire a mini folk in one tap: morning brief, daily verse, PR watch.
  - [group chats](/docs/groups): add Folk to the group: shared memory and scheduling that converges.
  - [Folk calls you](/docs/calls): wake-up calls and urgent reminders, out loud on your phone.
  - [reminders & nudges](/docs/reminders): reminders, follow-ups, and watchers that ping you.

## new to all this?

you don't need to read these docs cover to cover. the fastest way to get the
hang of Folk is to text it like a person and see what happens. these pages
are here for when you want to go deeper.

  stuck or confused at any point? text Folk **`/help`** and it'll show you what
  it can do right inside the chat.
