About Folk
Folk wraps an autonomous AI layer around its CRM data hygiene work.
Folk is on a near-weekly cadence with two parallel arcs: AI-driven enrichment and outbound communication. Auto-fill AI in late April promises continuous, autonomous data cleanup and insight extraction. Email scheduling, send previews, and the Fireflies integration build out the relationship-management surface. Admin visibility and sender-control tweaks address compliance edges.
