an ai assistant that lives in your imessage
Yes - folk lives natively in iMessage. No app, no tab: save the number, text it like a friend, and it gets real things done.
Folk is a personal AI assistant that lives natively in iMessage - no app to download, no browser tab, no login. You text it like you'd text a friend, and it actually gets things done: booking dinners, tracking flights, drafting replies, running reminders, and remembering everything across conversations. It also works in Telegram and WhatsApp.
how folk does it
save your folk number
After you sign up, you get a dedicated number. Save it as a contact, open Messages, and start texting. That's the entire setup - no app store, no account juggling.
text it like a person
Ask in plain language. "Remind me to call mom at 6." "What's a good gift for a 5-year-old?" "Book a haircut next week." Folk handles each one and follows up.
it keeps working in the background
Folk runs on its own computer, so it can act while you're away - monitoring prices, sending your morning briefing, finishing a task - and text you when there's news.
what it looks like
hey can you remind me to renew my passport this weekend and find where i do that
Done - reminder set for Saturday 10am. Renewals go through travel.state.gov; for a routine renewal by mail you'll need form DS-82, your old passport, a photo, and the fee. Want me to pre-fill the checklist?
yes and add it to my reminders too
Added. I'll nudge you Saturday with the checklist and the link.
frequently asked
Do I need to download an app?
No. Folk lives in iMessage. You save a phone number and text it like any contact. It also works in Telegram and WhatsApp if you prefer those.
Can folk see my other iMessage conversations?
No. Folk only sees the messages you send directly to it. Everything runs in your own isolated sandbox, and folk never trains on your data.
What can it do that Siri or ChatGPT can't?
Folk takes real action and remembers you. It books restaurants, tracks flights, manages email, and runs scheduled tasks from your texts, with persistent memory that grows over time - not just one-off answers.
