use case

an ai you can talk to anytime

Yes - folk is the always-there, judgment-free thread: vent, process, think out loud, and it listens and remembers.

Sometimes you don't need advice or a task done - you just need to get it out, to someone who'll actually listen and remember. Folk is a personal AI you can talk to anytime, right in your texts: a judgment-free place to vent after a brutal day, process what you're feeling, or think out loud until it makes sense. It listens, reflects it back, asks the question that helps, and remembers what you're going through so you never start from zero.

how folk does it

01

say it, however messy

No prompt, no structure. Dump the rant, the worry, or the "I don't even know what's wrong" - folk takes it in and responds like someone who's actually paying attention, any hour.

02

feel heard, then a little clearer

Folk reflects back what it's hearing, helps you name what you're feeling, and asks the gentle question that untangles it - closer to talking to a thoughtful friend than typing at a chatbot.

03

it remembers, so you don't repeat yourself

Folk holds the thread of your life - the stress at work, the thing with your family - so when you come back tomorrow it already knows the context and picks up where you left off.

what it looks like

today was just a lot. i'm so done

I'm here - dump it on me. What made today the one that tipped over: the work stuff, or something else?

work. i feel like nothing i do is enough

That's an exhausting way to spend a day - carrying "not enough" on top of the actual work. Is this a today feeling, or has it been building for a while? No rush, I've got time.

frequently asked

Is folk a replacement for therapy?

No - and it won't pretend to be. Folk is a supportive, always-available place to talk and process, not a licensed therapist. If you're really struggling or in crisis, it will gently point you to a professional or a crisis line, and can help you find one.

Will it remember what I told it?

Yes. Folk keeps private memory of what you're going through, so you don't have to re-explain your life each time. You can also ask it to forget anything, anytime.

Is what I say private?

Completely. Folk runs in your own isolated sandbox, only sees what you send it, and never trains on your data. It's just for you. $20/mo for Pro, with a free tier to start.

AI Companion

An AI companion is an AI you build an ongoing relationship with - it remembers you, checks in, and supports you day to day through conversation, coaching, or company, rather than answering one-off questions.

Personal AI

A personal AI is an artificial-intelligence assistant dedicated to one person - it learns your preferences, remembers your context, and takes actions on your behalf across everyday life.

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.
