folk v2 Launches: A 24/7 Personal AGI Assistant for Everyday Tasks
KlausCodes · x · 2026-08-08
Personal AI assistant app folk announced the launch of its v2 version, having processed over 10 million actions with an 11x growth since July. The product aims to build a "personal AGI" accessible to everyday users.
Positioned as a versatile assistant in your texts, folk offers several practical features: it monitors bank transactions, flags forgotten subscriptions, and enforces budgets. It also provides persistent reminders for goals and scheduling. Additionally, it features integrated live odds and play-money prediction markets.
To achieve its always-on capability, folk runs on its own dedicated compute environment, maintaining 24/7 connections to the user's bank, Gmail, calendar, and the open web to process tasks autonomously in the background.
