# an ai that nags you until it's actually done

> folk is the ai that nags you until it's done. hand it the task you keep avoiding and it keeps texting, asks for proof, and does not take "later" as an answer.

Reminders are easy to dismiss. A friend who keeps asking is not. Folk's nag mode is exactly that: you hand it the task you have been dodging (the dentist call, the tax form, the essay outline) and folk keeps checking in at intervals you pick until you send it proof. It escalates politely, offers to break the task into a 10-minute version, and stops the second you show it is done. No shame, just persistence.

## How folk does it

### hand over the task and set the intensity

Text folk "nag me until i book the dentist" or "do not let me go to bed until the outline is done." Tell it how relentless to be: a gentle nudge every few hours or a text every 20 minutes until you crack.

### folk keeps asking, and asks for proof

Folk checks in on the schedule you set. "Later" gets a follow-up. "Doing it now" gets a check-back in 15 minutes. When you say done, folk asks for a screenshot or a one-line confirmation, then closes it out.

### it shrinks the task when you are stuck

If you keep stalling, folk switches from nagging to helping: it offers a 10-minute version, drafts the email you are avoiding, or finds the phone number so the only step left is pressing call.

## Example conversation

**You:** i need to submit my fafsa. nag me until it's done, be annoying

**folk:** Annoying mode on. I'll text you every 2 hours until you send me the confirmation screen. First one is now: open studentaid.gov, log in, and tell me when you're on the form.

**You:** later

**folk:** That's not one of the options 😌 Log in and just do the first page. I'll check back in 30 min.

**You:** ok fine it's done, here

**folk:** Confirmation received. Nag closed. That's one less thing on your mind tonight.

## FAQ

### How is this different from a reminder?

A reminder fires once. Folk keeps texting until you send proof, follows up on "later," and helps you start when you are stuck. You choose how often it checks in and it stops the moment the task is done.

### Can I make it stop?

Yes. Text "stop nagging" or "pause till tomorrow" and folk backs off immediately. You are always in control of the tone, the timing, and whether it is running at all.

### Does it cost anything?

One-off reminders are free, 3 a month on the free plan. Repeated follow-ups on the same task are a background feature, included in Pro at $9.99 a month, and installing the nag-until-done folkway unlocks 7 free days.
