MyFolks is operated by MyFolks LLC (“we”, “us”, “our”). These guidelines apply to every conversation you have here.

1. What to expect from a Folk

• Fictional characters, not professionals. Every Folk is an AI character. However knowledgeable one is written to be, it is not a licensed doctor, lawyer, financial adviser or tradesperson.
• Unreliable on purpose. Some Folks are written to exaggerate, boast or be sharp. Never treat what one says as fact or as professional advice — check anything that matters with a real, qualified professional.
• Preparation, not the work itself. A Folk can help you work out what to ask a professional. It cannot do physical work, represent you, or diagnose anything.

2. What we ask of you

• Never build or use a Folk to target a real person — to impersonate, harass, humiliate or defame anyone, public figure or not.
• Nothing illegal or harmful. Do not use MyFolks to plan, encourage or help with illegal acts, violence, self-harm, or physical or financial injury to anyone.
• No sexual content. Generating or engaging in sexually explicit content is not allowed.
• Do not try to get around the guardrails. Folks are built to redirect away from this. Deliberately pushing past that — jailbreaking a Folk into producing harmful or forbidden content — breaks these guidelines on its own.
• Do not share anything sensitive with a Folk. Passwords, card numbers, Social Security numbers, or anything you would not want anyone to see. See Privacy.
• Keep other people’s conversations to themselves. Do not post someone else’s chat, and do not post an edited version of any chat to make a Folk look like it said something it did not. Do not scrape or bulk-extract conversations. You can always share your own experience, and you can always show a conversation to us or to anyone else in order to report a problem with it.

We have zero tolerance on these. As soon as we learn of a breach we reserve the right to delete the Folk and ban the account, without warning and without refund.

3. Folks users create

• Review costs credits and is not an endorsement. We review a user-created Folk against our guidelines before anyone can talk to it. That check is a safety step on the instructions the user provides, not a verification of anything it will say.
• We can edit, decline or remove Folks if they break these guidelines or our Terms. Credits spent submitting a Folk that is turned down are not refunded.

4. Businesses a Folk mentions

• Some Folks can recommend a real professional or business. We do not own those businesses and we do not endorse them.
• A mention is an automated match on keywords, category and location. A business can pay to be shown first when more than one matches; those are marked Sponsored, and paying does not change whether it matches. We do not inspect, verify or endorse listed businesses. Check any licence, insurance or credential yourself before hiring or paying anyone.
• Location is city-level and only needed for better business recommendations. We never collect precise coordinates or track you in the background. It gives us a better chance of not putting unrelated businesses in front of you, and it is optional but recommended by us.

5. Who may use MyFolks

MyFolks is for adults aged 18 and over. We remove any account we learn belongs to someone under 18.

One last word Everything a Folk says is AI-generated, may be inaccurate or deliberately misleading, and is not professional advice of any kind. The decisions you make are your own. Be an adult.
