the thing that makes Folk feel less like a chatbot and more like someone who knows you: it remembers. not just within one conversation, across all of them, over time.

tell Folk once that your partner is gluten-free, that you hate early meetings, or that you're saving up for a trip to japan, and it'll quietly hold onto that. next time it's relevant, Folk knows.

what folk remembers

mostly the things you'd want a thoughtful assistant to remember:

• people: who matters to you, and the details (birthdays, preferences, dietary stuff)
• your preferences: the food you love, the vibe you like, how you work
• ongoing things: plans in motion, things you're saving for, projects
• useful facts: the small context that makes its help fit you

you don't have to "save" anything. Folk picks up what's worth keeping as you chat.

shared crew and group memory

memory is not only personal. in crew, you can explicitly share small durable facts with a crew member, scoped by category and direction — for example, travel preferences you want maya's folk to know when she plans something involving you. you stay in control of those categories from chat or the crew dashboard.

group chats have their own shared memory too. when group memory is enabled, Folk can remember durable facts and decisions for that room, separate from anyone's personal memory. membership in the group is the access boundary: people in the room can use the group memory, and leaving cuts off access.

seeing your memory

your memory isn't a black box. sign in at getfolk.app and open your dashboard to see your brain, a visual map of everything Folk remembers, grouped by people, topics, and more. you can browse it, search it, and read the individual snippets.

importing memory you already have

switching over from ChatGPT or Claude? you don't have to start Folk from scratch. on the import memory page you can paste an export from another assistant and Folk will fold the useful bits into its memory.

clearing things out

it's your memory, so you're in control:

• ask Folk in chat to forget something: "forget what i said about my old job"
• or open the brain in your dashboard and delete individual memories there
