Folk doesn't just search the web. it has its own browser running on its cloud computer. it can open websites, click around, fill in forms, and push through multi-step flows, just like you would. this is what lets Folk do things online, not just look them up.

when a site needs you

lots of sites need a login, a two-factor code, a captcha, or a tap to confirm a payment. Folk can't (and shouldn't) do those parts for you, so it hands the browser off to your phone.

log in once, not every time

for sites you use a lot, Folk can remember your login per site after the first hand-off. next time you ask it to book a table or check an order, it's already signed in. no link, no re-login.

you can see and revoke the sites Folk has kept signed in from your dashboard under sites.

just looking something up?

you don't need the full browser for quick questions. Folk also does fast web lookups and reads pages for you:

and for heavier work, like comparing lots of options or digging deep, there's research, which comes back with a clean, shareable report.

good to know

• Folk's browser lives on its cloud computer, not your phone. that means it keeps working even after you put your phone down.
• some sites actively block bots or have terms that don't allow automation. Folk will tell you honestly when it can't get through rather than pretend.
• anything involving your money or your accounts always routes through the hand-off so you are the one who approves it.
