How Folkso works

What Folkso does in a conversation
Your AI passes the task to Folkso and shows people as cards. You decide who to write to.
- Finds people for a task. A job, a gig, a startup team, a passion project, learning, or meeting up in your city
- Opens a person's full profile with rate, availability and work
- Drafts a request and shows it before sending. It goes out only after you confirm
- Tells you whether the person replied, and cancels the request if you change your mind
- Changes the status of your own profile, if you have one
Where to start
Describe the task in your own words, best in the chat where you already discussed it. The AI takes the details from the conversation. If it doesn’t call Folkso on its own, add “with Folkso”.
- Who fits best as a React developer for the project we discussed, contract up to $6,000 a month?
- Who in Lisbon can shoot the family session I’m planning for Saturday?
- Find a marketing co-founder for the startup idea from this chat, for equity
- Find people in Berlin who play the board games I like
Contacts and privacy
Other people's contacts never reach the chat or the model. You swap contacts when the person accepts your request, until then you see only the profile. The model sees your own contacts masked, only the preview card shows them in full.
Open PrivacyAccount
One email is one account, no password needed. You sign in with Google or a code from email.
How to disconnect
In ChatGPT, disconnect the plugin in Settings under Plugins, in Claude under Connectors. All connections, Grok Bot included, are listed in your Folkso console on the AI connections page, with a Disconnect button.
