an ai that wakes you up and gets you out of bed
Yes. Tell folk when to wake you and it calls your phone at that time with a real voice, tells you the plan for the day, and follows up with a text a few minutes later to make sure you are actually up. Calls go to your own verified number only.
An alarm is a sound you learn to ignore. A phone call is a person you have to answer. Folk can ring your phone at the time you choose, greet you by name, tell you what is on your calendar, and keep talking until you are on your feet. Then it texts you five minutes later to make sure you did not lie down again. Set it once ("wake me up at 6:45 on weekdays") and folk handles the rest, including the gym days where it reminds you what you promised last night.
how folk does it
set the time and the vibe
Text folk "wake me up at 7 tomorrow" or "weekday wake-up call at 6:30, be firm." Tell it what you want to hear: the weather, your first class, or just someone telling you to get up.
folk calls, and actually talks to you
At the time you set, your phone rings. Folk says good morning, runs through the plan, and asks whether you are up. Answer groggily and it keeps going. Decline the call and it calls back.
the follow-up text closes the loop
A few minutes after the call, folk texts "you up for real?" so you have to reply. If your morning includes a workout or a deadline, that text carries the reminder too.
what it looks like
can u call me at 6:45 tmrw, i have an 8am and i keep sleeping through alarms
Done. I'll call at 6:45 and I'm not hanging up until you're sitting up. Follow-up text at 6:55. Want me to mention the 8am so you can't pretend you forgot?
yes lol
6:55. You up for real? Class is in 65 minutes and it's 41° out, bring the jacket.
frequently asked
Does folk actually call my phone?
Yes. Folk places a real phone call to your own verified number, with a real voice on the other end. You can talk back, and if you decline it can call again. It only ever calls you, never other people.
Can it wake me up on a schedule?
Yes. Say "weekdays at 6:30" once and folk keeps the schedule running, adjusts for your timezone, and skips the days you tell it to. The wake-up-call folkway sets this up in one tap.
Is the wake-up call free?
A wake-up text is free. Phone calls are a paid feature: Pro includes 60 minutes of calls a month and Max includes 150, plenty for a short call every morning. Pro is $9.99 a month.
