an ai that runs tasks on autopilot
Yes - folk's own cloud computer runs 24/7. Describe a recurring job in plain language and it keeps it running, texting you when something changes.
Folk has its own cloud computer that runs 24/7, so it can work while you don't. Describe a recurring job in plain language and folk keeps it running on schedule - monitoring prices, watching listings, sending weekly summaries, checking a website for changes - and texts you the moment there's something worth knowing.
how folk does it
describe the job once
Say what you want and how often: "check this apartment site every morning and text me new 1-beds under $2,500," or "summarize my competitors' blogs every Monday."
folk runs it autonomously
Folk schedules the task on its own computer. It doesn't need you online - it browses, checks, and processes on its own, then reports back.
you only hear about what matters
No noise. Folk only pings you when there's a real change or result, and you can pause, edit, or cancel any task with a text.
what it looks like
every morning check streeteasy for new 1-beds in brooklyn under $2800 and text me the good ones
Set - daily scan of StreetEasy, Brooklyn 1-beds under $2,800, sent each morning. I'll lead with the ones that match your past picks (pre-war, near a train).

frequently asked
What kinds of tasks can folk automate?
Recurring monitors and routines: price tracking, listing alerts, website-change checks, weekly research summaries, scheduled reminders, and morning briefings - anything folk can do once, it can do on a schedule.
Does my phone need to be on for tasks to run?
No. Folk runs tasks on its own cloud computer, independent of your phone. It works in the background and texts you when there's news.
Can I stop or change a task?
Yes. Pause, edit, or cancel any automation with a quick text. Folk remembers your changes and adjusts going forward.
