use case

an ai shopping agent that shops for you

Yes - tell folk what you need and it hunts across stores, compares real options, watches the price, and gets it to checkout.

Folk is a personal AI shopping agent that lives in your texts. Tell it what you're after - a gift, a gadget, the right pair of running shoes - and it does the part you hate: searching across stores, comparing real options, reading the reviews, finding the best price, and watching for a drop. It remembers your sizes and taste, builds the cart, and hands you a one-tap checkout (or completes it on a connected account). No more 30 tabs.

how folk does it

01

tell folk what you actually want

Skip the keyword guessing. "Find me quiet running shoes for flat feet under $140" or "a birthday gift for my mom who likes gardening." Folk figures out what to look for, including the soft stuff like budget and vibe.

02

folk hunts and compares

Using its own cloud computer, folk searches across retailers, compares specs and prices, reads through the reviews, and filters out the junk - then comes back with a short, ranked list worth your money, not a wall of links.

03

it tracks the price and closes the loop

Pick one and folk adds it to your cart and sends a checkout link, or buys it on a connected account. Not ready? It watches the price and pings you the moment it drops - and remembers your sizes for next time.

what it looks like

i need a carry-on suitcase, hard shell, under $200, good warranty

Top 3: Away Bigger Carry-On ($225, just over), July Carry-On Pro ($195, lifetime warranty), Amazon Basics hardside ($90, 1yr). Best value-to-warranty is the July. Want me to grab it or watch for a sale?

watch it, and tell me if away drops under 180

Done - tracking both. I'll text you the second the July hits a sale or Away drops under $180.

frequently asked

Can folk actually buy things for me?

Folk finds the best option, builds your cart, and sends a one-tap checkout link so you control payment - and on a connected store account it can complete the purchase for you. For big-ticket items it confirms with you first.

How does it find the best price?

Folk searches across multiple retailers on its own cloud computer, compares current prices and reviews, and can keep monitoring after - texting you when a price drops below your target.

Will it remember my sizes and preferences?

Yes. Folk builds persistent memory of your sizes, favorite brands, budget, and past purchases, so future shopping takes one short text.

AI Agent

An AI agent is an AI system that takes actions to accomplish a goal - using tools, browsing the web, and completing multi-step tasks autonomously, not just generating text.

AI Concierge

An AI concierge is a personal AI that handles real-world tasks and logistics for you - reservations, travel, recommendations, and errands - like a human concierge, but always available.

AI Sandbox

An AI sandbox is an isolated computing environment where an AI agent can run code, browse the web, and use tools safely - separated from other users and systems.
