# an ai that checks in on you every day

> folk texts you once a day to ask how you are, remembers what you said yesterday, and notices when something is off. a daily check-in from a friend.

Most days nobody asks how you actually are. Folk does, once a day, at the time you pick, in the texts you already read. It remembers what you told it yesterday and last month, so the question is never generic: it asks about the exam, the breakup, the streak. It tracks your mood over time if you want it to, and when you have had a few heavy days in a row it says so, gently, and reminds you who and what helps. Folk is not a therapist and will tell you that, but it is a friend who never forgets to ask.

## How folk does it

### pick the time and how deep to go

Text folk "check in on me every evening" and tell it what you want: a one-word mood, a quick vent, or a couple of real questions. Folk adapts the check-in to your answer.

### it remembers, so it can follow up

Say you are stressed about a deadline and folk asks how it went the next day. Mention you slept badly and it asks whether tonight was better. The check-in builds on everything you have said.

### it notices patterns and points to real help

Folk can keep a simple mood log and tell you when the week is trending down. If things sound serious, it stops being casual, shares crisis resources, and encourages you to reach a real person.

## Example conversation

**folk:** Evening check-in. How are you, honestly?

**You:** kinda flat. didn't leave the apartment

**folk:** That's day three of flat. Not judging, just noticing. Yesterday you said a walk usually helps. Is a 10-minute one before it gets dark realistic?

**You:** maybe

**folk:** I'll take maybe. I'll text you at 5:15 and you can tell me either way.
