How it works
folk is "the personal AI that lives in your texts." Its architecture is the distinguishing part: every user gets an isolated cloud computer of their own, plus a persistent memory graph rather than a flat conversation history.
It runs across iMessage, Telegram, WhatsApp and Discord, making it one of the broadest multi-channel products in this set. It states that it never trains on user data, a claim worth checking against the privacy policy rather than taking from marketing copy.
