Which AI friend can do things for you?
By the Nozomio team. Researched November 10, 2026.
It is an AI friend that also calls companies, emails their support, sets wake-up calls and tracks prices on things you bought. Companion apps like Character.AI, Kindroid and Nomi are built to chat and cannot act outside the conversation.
What doing things means here
It means the job leaves the chat. folk has its own email address and phone number. It can write to a company from that address, and it can phone a business, work the menu and wait on hold after you approve the call. It tells the person who answers that it is an AI calling for you.
Not every call gets through. Some end at a closed line or a rep who needs the account holder, and folk tells you when that happens.
Friends, assistants, and the one that is both
| App | Fun to talk to | Takes action | Access |
|---|---|---|---|
| folk | Yes, and it can be a character | Yes | Open to everyone, free |
| Character.AI | Yes | No | Free, paid upgrade |
| Kindroid | Yes | No | Free to download |
| Nomi | Yes | No | See its site |
| Instinct | It is an assistant | Yes | Invite only |
| Poke | It is an assistant | Yes | Free, $19 or $199 a month |
Which one should you pick?
If you only want errands handled and you have an invite, Instinct is built for that. If most of your errands are email and calendar, look at Poke. If you want something you would text for no reason that will also deal with a refund, that is folk.
