Folk 替代品
folk vs Poke
Poke, by The Interaction Company, is a personal AI you text in iMessage, Telegram, and WhatsApp. Folk works the same way — but every folk user gets their own cloud computer, a memory graph that goes deeper, the option to bring your own models and keys, and real-world skills like restaurant booking and flight tracking built in.
why people switch from Poke to folk
folk gives you a real computer, not just integrations
Poke connects your apps and runs automations on top of them. Folk goes a layer deeper: every user gets a dedicated cloud computer that browses the web, writes and runs code, and works inside a real environment. It is the difference between wiring up integrations and having a machine that can do almost anything you ask.
real-world skills, built in
Ask folk to book a table on Resy for Thursday at 7 and it finds availability, books it, and confirms. Ask it to watch a route and it monitors fares and pings you on a drop. These are first-class folk skills, not recipes you have to assemble yourself.
bring your own models and keys
Folk lets you run your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or OpenRouter keys, kept inside your private sandbox. You control the models and the spend — an option Poke does not offer.
simpler pricing at the top end
Both start free and land around $19–$20/month for the main plan. But folk's top tier is $100/month flat, versus Poke's $199/month Ultra — so heavy users get the strongest models for less.
