why folkno.03

A real assistant.
Not a chatbot.

01
↳
one short text

Text it once

Tell folk what to watch, book, buy, write, or remember. It stays on it and texts you back when something changes — sometimes minutes later, sometimes weeks.

02
24/7
long-running

It keeps going

No re-prompting. Folk picks up the thread, retries, adapts, and follows up. The job runs until it's done, not until you close the tab.

03
★
private cloud

Always on

Folk runs on its own private cloud machine, not your phone. It doesn't sleep when you do — it watches markets, listings, jobs, and texts you when it matters.

Real hands

Full access to any tool you have — GitHub, your bank, your calendar, Polymarket, Zillow. Folk doesn't describe what it would do. It does it.

Three people, same wingman.

Pulled from real interviews with early-access users. We changed the photos, kept the words.

user · founder01 / 03
“

Made it SSH into my laptop through my phone to monitor my RL finetuning jobs 24/7.

I went to dinner. Folk watched the run. It pinged me when grad_norm spiked and held the checkpoint until I told it what to do next. I never opened the terminal.

“

Planned an entire date night — picked the restaurant, handled the booking, planned the schedule.

I texted folk on a thursday: third date, she's veggie, no booze, into design. It came back with a shortlist and held the table. The whole evening showed up in iMessage like an itinerary.

Set up constant alerts for new listings — one of the first to tour my dream apartment.

Zillow + facebook marketplace + redfin, watched 24/7. Folk pinged at 11pm with a listing 14 minutes old. I emailed for a tour from bed, walked in saturday, signed monday.

questionsno.07

Asked before signing up.

No. Folk is a real agent — not a chat bot. It has a private cloud machine of its own, full browser + code access, your real tools (GitHub, calendar, bank, Polymarket, Zillow), and persistent memory across every thread. ChatGPT in iMessage forgets you the second you close it. Folk picks up where you left off, every time.

Your messages and the wiki folk builds about you are encrypted and scoped to you. We don't train on your conversations, sell them, or share them. Export the full archive anytime. Delete it anytime.

Folk gives you a dedicated handle when you sign up. Add it to your contacts and text it like a friend. Replies come through iMessage and Telegram natively — no app, no notifications to manage.

Yes. Folk has real browser sessions, confirmed payment methods, and live access to the tools you connect (your bank, calendar, Zillow, marketplaces, Polymarket, more). It executes — it doesn't just suggest links.

Folk confirms before any material spend or irreversible action — default threshold $50, configurable. You can set per-tool limits and require approval on whole categories (banking, trading, bookings).

Indefinitely. Folk has watched apartment listings for weeks, monitored RL finetunes overnight, tracked Polymarket positions for days. It pings only when the rule you set is hit.

Telegram works globally; iMessage works wherever iMessage works. Tool integrations vary by region — Folk tells you what's live in your country during setup.

Yes, instantly, by texting "cancel my plan." No retention dance. Your data is exported and deleted within 24 hours of cancellation if you want.
