memory

the thing that makes Folk feel less like a chatbot and more like someone who knows you: it remembers. not just within one conversation, across all of them, over time.

tell Folk once that your partner is gluten-free, that you hate early meetings, or that you're saving up for a trip to japan, and it'll quietly hold onto that. next time it's relevant, Folk knows.

what folk remembers

mostly the things you'd want a thoughtful assistant to remember:

• people: who matters to you, and the details (birthdays, preferences, dietary stuff)
• your preferences: the food you love, the vibe you like, how you work
• ongoing things: plans in motion, things you're saving for, projects
• useful facts: the small context that makes its help fit you

you don't have to "save" anything. Folk picks up what's worth keeping as you chat.

shared group memory

memory is not only personal. group chats have their own shared memory. when group memory is enabled, Folk can remember durable facts and decisions for that room, separate from anyone's personal memory. membership in the group is the access boundary: people in the room can use the group memory, and leaving cuts off access.

seeing your memory

your memory isn't a black box. sign in at folk.com and open your dashboard to see your brain, a visual map of everything Folk remembers, grouped by people, topics, and more. you can browse it, search it, and read the individual snippets.

importing memory you already have

switching over from ChatGPT or Claude? you don't have to start Folk from scratch. on the import memory page you can paste an export from another assistant and Folk will fold the useful bits into its memory.

clearing things out

it's your memory, so you're in control:

• ask Folk in chat to forget something: "forget what i said about my old job"
• or open the brain in your dashboard and delete individual memories there

want the whole thing gone? there's a full wipe that erases every memory and your chat history in one go, your account, your plan, and your connected apps all stay. two ways to trigger it:

• text Folk CLEARMEMORY in caps (deliberately shouty so it can't happen by accident)
• dashboard → settings → privacy → erase folk's memory

it can't be undone, so Folk confirms with you first.
