Introduction

Folk is an advanced AI assistant that operates directly within messaging platforms like iMessage, Telegram, and WhatsApp. Running on its own dedicated cloud computer, Folk helps users manage their daily lives by automating tasks such as email triage, calendar scheduling, subscription tracking, and budget enforcement. It can integrate securely with banking tools via Plaid, monitor websites and prices, and coordinate group chats without requiring other participants to install a separate application. With strong privacy guarantees, user data remains fully encrypted and is never utilized for model training.
