folk - the AI in your texts that gets stuff done
by•
Folk is your AI friend that lives in any messaging app: iMessage, Telegram, Discord, and more. It joins meetings, plans your date, knows where you are, and gets smarter with every conversation. The longer you use it, the more it knows you. And now it's multiplayer, so you and your friends can team up and reach your goals together.

The "in your texts" framing is interesting because most AI messaging tools still make you context-switch to a separate interface.
What actually triggers the AI here, a keyword, a slash command, something else?
@fberrez1 it lives in messages apps (like imessage or discord) and you just talk to it as it was ur friend :)

@arlanrakh very cool thanks
Loved that the demo is about planing a date instead of yet another work task — there's actual soul behind this one. Memory that doesn't really grow and "proactivity" that's just a timer are exactly the two thiings that have kept me from trusting any of these tools. Genuinely curious how folk solves them under the hood — is it a real architectural difference, or the same promise everyone's making?

@haotian_wang5 appreciate this comment! the date demo was a deliberate choice. on your two:
memory is a knowledge graph, not a growing file, facts are nodes and edges form over time as it connects them, so it grows in structure not just length.
proactivity isnt just a timer, folk runs on an always-on cloud computer with condition-based watchers ("ping me if the price drops below $80") that check state and only fire when its actually true.
as a dev, i make promises i stand behind. as a user, check it out! tell me if I kept my promise ;)
@haotian_wang5 personally folk's memory system is the best i've tried among all the agents. It is emerging facts about you and form knowledge graph not only via a set timer but also events from integrations or your conversation. We also index all the chat history that agent and look up on demand
the multiplayer thing where my ai and my friend's ai coordinate dinner plans without us going back and forth is actually new. haven't seen anyone else do that. the location pings are useful too if they're actually accurate and not just spamming you every time you're near a store
@tina_chhabra thanks for kind words :)
@tina_chhabra Thanks. Yeah it was a pain point myself especially nowadays for a lot of the tasks, after you messaged your friend, your friend would just send a prompt to an AI agent anyways. It just reduced a lot of friction to be able to just let your folk prompt the other person's folk essesnailly

havent slept all night, u made my launch day ngl. tysm for taking the effort to comment nice words, its really appreciated.
@anusuya_bhuyan thanks a lot :))
Never knew how much I actually needed meeting noted before this haha, and being able to query them on the go from iMessage is super useful 😉😉
@charles_mcclasky thanks charles!!
Folk. Жобаларыңызға сәттілік! 🚀
Folk can plan dates, but can it help me get a date with Aikhan? 😅 Also, can people from CIS countries (like Kazakhstan) use all Folk features?

How do you handle shared memory in group chats, like what’s private to me and what the whole group can see?
@thamibenjelloun group chats and your private memory are completely separate.
in a group, folk only sees what's in that group thread. it won't pull from your personal memory, your dms, calendar, email, location, or anything from outside that chat. if someone asks for that in a group, it refuses and tells them to dm you directly.
@thamibenjelloun That's the magic of folk, in group chat, everyone in the group chat can talk to folk and folk is aware of everyone in the group chat and decide when to chime in or you can just say "hey folk" and your questions.
@miras1 thanks! yes, u can :) just tell it to install claude code
