How to manage contact groups with your AI

Connect folk to your AI client once. After that, your agent handles the heavy lifting of finding and organizing your people.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can my AI manage my Folk contact groups?

Yes. Your agent uses the Folk MCP to pull your existing groups and contact lists. You can then ask it to find specific people or summarize who is in which group. You'll see exactly how it works below.

The outcomes

What you get from your agent

Your agent turns raw contact data into organized information.

LISTING

View all groups

The AI pulls every contact group you have set up. You get a clear view of your workspace structure without manual clicking.

QUERYING

Find specific people

Ask your agent to find contacts within a specific group. It scans your lists to pull the exact names or details you need.

AUDITING

Check group membership

Verify who belongs where. Your agent can cross-reference groups to ensure your segments are accurate.

HUMAN

Manual updates

The AI identifies the data, but you decide when to move people or change group names. You stay in control of the actual edits.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent acts as a bridge between your chat interface and your Folk data.

  1. Identify groups

    The agent looks at your workspace to see how your contacts are segmented.

    list_groups

  2. Fetch contact data

    Once it knows which group you care about, it pulls the specific people inside.

    list_contacts

  3. Filter and sort

    The agent processes the contact information to answer your specific questions.

    list_contacts

  4. Report findings

    The agent presents the list or the specific contact details directly in your chat.
