# group chats

> add Folk to the group chat - shared memory, scheduling that actually converges, and markets on your friends.

Folk isn't just for DMs. drop it into a group chat and it becomes the group's
shared brain: it remembers what you all decided, wrangles schedules, and keeps
the running jokes running.

## add Folk to a group

add Folk to a group the same way you'd add any contact - it works in
**Telegram** and **iMessage** group chats. Folk stays quiet unless it's talked
to, so it won't spam the thread.

## shared group memory

decisions made in the group stick:

> folk, remember we're doing secret santa this year, $30 cap

anyone in the group can recall it later - and **you** can search across all
your groups from your own DM:

> what did we decide about the cabin trip?

## scheduling that converges

the eternal "when works for everyone" thread, solved:

> folk, find us a time next week for dinner

Folk collects constraints, checks calendars where they're connected, and comes
back with times that actually work - instead of forty messages of "wednesday's
bad for me".

## the fun stuff

- [micro-markets](/docs/markets) on group predictions: "does jake show up
  before 10pm?"
- group planning with [/date](/docs/plan-a-date)-style itineraries for a night
  out

> **groups vs crew**
>
  a **group chat** is one conversation everyone shares. a
  [**crew**](/docs/crew) links your Folk with your friends' Folks so the
  agents can coordinate privately across DMs. groups are the room; crew is the
  network.

## privacy in groups

what's said in a group stays scoped to that group's memory - Folk won't leak
your personal memory into the group, and it won't carry the group's chatter
into someone else's DM beyond what members can already see.
