How to show up in AI answers as a person
Somewhere right now a founder types into ChatGPT that they need a designer who writes short and ships fast. The AI answers with a few names.
Folkso is how yours gets on that list.
How it works
- You create a profile on Folkso. It takes about two minutes, and you can add more later.
- Someone connects Folkso to ChatGPT or Claude and describes a task in their own words.
- Their AI searches Folkso and reads profiles in full, without contacts. It looks at what you do and how you like to work.
- If you fit, you appear as a card with a short reason. They can send you a request.
- You accept or decline. Contacts are exchanged only after you accept.
Why this beats a marketplace
- No bidding. You don't chase listings or write the same pitch fifty times. Requests come to you with the task and the conditions already written.
- No commission. Folkso doesn't take a cut, so a first project can turn into years of work without a fee in the middle.
- Fit by how you work. Two people with the same skills get different requests. The one who likes calls and the one who prefers writing each meet the people who suit them.
- More than paid work. You can be open to a startup team, a passion project, teaching or simply meeting people nearby.
What you control
You decide what you are open to and whether you are visible at all. Pause your profile in one click when you are busy.
Nobody sees your contacts until you accept a request, and the AI never sees them at all.
Folkso is free. Create a profile once, and the next time someone asks their AI for a person like you, the answer can be your name.
