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.
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 ;)
The memory part is what I want to understand better, how does it actually build context over time? is it pulling from message history or does it need explicit inputs from us?
folk
@munis_abbas automatically! just by talking to it. you talk, folk listens, and keeps the things worth keeping (who matters, what you like, the plans youre nursing) as nodes, then connects them over time, with a quiet overnight pass where it thinks about you.
you can be explicit if you like ("remember my sister is vegetarian"), but mostly it just gets to know you over time. i wouldnt force it. mention one oddly specific thing today and itll resurface a week later..
the exact moment i fell in love with Folk was when it was the second one to tell me happy birthday!
the first one was obviously the team at Nozomio haha.

Can’t wait to try it out myself
@arlanrakhdoes it have an api so that my server can inform about errors or cpu spikes and folk will
Message me about it?
@daniel_giacobelli yoo! we don't have api support YET but it is on the roadmap (+sdk) :)
@miras1 thanks! yes, u can :) just tell it to install claude code
Well, let's start by saying that I'm probably in the top 10 of Folk users by api consumption xp (they don't know about my second account), the amount of shit you can get done with it is out in the stratosphere, Nozomio created the best context solution with Nia (still has, Nia keep improving everyday), now it has a system to put it in, Arlan continue to provide so value to every users out there, I can hope in my normal meeting, record the whole thing with folk and launch nia oracle on the job, saved my ass and clients multiple time,

@tomcoustols Stay tuned. there are more to come to folk
@tomcoustols thanks so much tom!!
paid user here and i really love the live geolocation feature. It found me right when I needed a nudge and the context awareness is genuinely impressive. Gets smarter every week. Congrats on the launch! 🚀
@abdulla_baker thanks so much
folk
@abdulla_baker thank you so much abdulla! yeah, we really tried our best with the geolocation feature. its honestly my favorite whenever I go grocery shopping

I love how the product has a built in meeting-notes taker feature. Actually helps me so much because I dont have to use something external to keep my meeting notes and everything is in my folk which means its in my memories and gets connected to every other memory!!
I wonder who implemented it
@aikhan lmao
