What is an AI chief of staff?

An AI chief of staff is a personal AI that handles high-level coordination - inbox triage, scheduling, follow-ups, prep, and research - the way a human chief of staff would, for founders and busy professionals.

A chief of staff removes friction before you feel it: deciding what needs your attention, drafting the reply, prepping the meeting, and chasing the follow-up. An AI chief of staff does this continuously and instantly.

It works best with memory and integrations - it has to know your priorities and connect to your email, calendar, and tools to actually take work off your plate, not just remind you of it.

frequently asked

Is an AI chief of staff just an email tool?

No. Email triage is part of it, but a true AI chief of staff also schedules, preps, researches, and follows up - and the best ones, like folk, cover personal logistics too.

Who is an AI chief of staff for?

Founders, executives, and busy professionals who need coordination work handled continuously. Folk does this from your texts for $20/month.
