no special words. text folk the way you'd text a friend.

find somewhere nice for dinner saturday, walking distance from me

remind me to renew my passport next month

what did i say i wanted to get my brother for his birthday?

if something takes a while, folk says so, goes off and does it, and texts you when it's done. you can keep chatting in the meantime.

send it anything

• photos and screenshots: a menu, a bill, an outfit you want to find, a confusing text from your landlord. folk reads it.
• voice notes: talk instead of typing. folk understands them.
• links: an article to sum up, a product to watch, a form to fill.
• files: PDFs, docs, spreadsheets.

folk can send things back too: pictures, voice replies, PDFs, GIFs, and links.

folk checks before it acts

anything that sends, books, buys, or shares something waits for your ok. folk shows you exactly what it's about to do, and you just reply. "yes", "go", "send it", "nah" all work.

changed your mind?

just say so. "stop", "never mind", or "actually make it 8pm" works mid-task.

how often folk texts you

folk sometimes texts you first: a heads-up, a reminder, a check-in. you're in control of how much.

• fewer messages: "you text me too much" or "only tell me important stuff"
• quiet evenings: "don't text me after 9"
• drop a topic: "stop bringing up my credit score"
• turn off the tap-to-reply buttons: "no more suggestion buttons"
• pause all of folk's own messages: text MUTE. text "you can text me again" to turn them back on.

folk never sends its own messages overnight (11pm to 7am). reminders you set yourself still go off on time.
