an ai that finds your restaurant and gets you the table
Yes - text folk the city, the night, and the vibe, and it finds the spot worth going to and hands you the booking, right from iMessage or Telegram.
Stop scrolling five apps to pick a place. Folk is a personal AI that lives in your iMessage and Telegram and finds you the right restaurant - then gets you to the table. Tell it what you want (a date, a party size, a neighborhood, a vibe) and it shortlists spots actually worth going to, checks what's open, and hands you a one-tap booking. Got a place in mind that's full? Folk keeps checking and pings you the moment a table opens up.
how folk does it
tell folk what you're after
Text folk like a friend: "somewhere good for 2 in the West Village this Friday around 7." No forms, no app. Folk understands the request, including soft constraints like "not too loud" or "good for a first date."
folk finds the spot and the table
Folk uses its own cloud computer to research options worth going to - not just whatever is technically open - and checks availability for your night and party size. It comes back with a short, ranked shortlist and the booking link for each, so you tap once and you're in.
folk keeps watching and remembers
Place fully booked? Folk keeps re-checking and texts you the moment a table frees up. And it remembers your favorites and usual party size, so next time you can just say "somewhere like Rubirosa on Saturday."
what it looks like

Two spots with 8pm availability Saturday: Rubirosa (cozy Italian) and Raoul's (classic French bistro). Both take reservations online - want the booking links?

Here's the Raoul's booking for Sat 8:00pm, party of 2 - tap to confirm. Want me to set a reminder to leave by 7:30, and save this as a go-to?
frequently asked
How does folk find the reservation?
Folk has its own cloud computer. When you ask, it researches restaurants that fit your vibe, checks real-time availability, and hands you a one-tap booking link - all from your iMessage or Telegram thread. You confirm the booking, so you stay in control.
What if the restaurant is fully booked?
Folk keeps re-checking for you and texts you the moment a matching table opens up, so you don't have to keep refreshing. You just tap the link to grab it.
Can folk remember my dining preferences?
Yes. Folk builds persistent memory of your favorite restaurants, usual party size, dietary needs, and preferred times, so future nights out take one short text.
