folk CRM adds EU data residency and tasks in an active shipping month

crmai-integrationmcpeu-data-residencymobiletasks
◆Current state
Folk has shipped at a high cadence over two months: a dedicated mobile app, an MCP server for AI agent access, task management, talk-to-text, group UX improvements, and EU data residency. Each addition addresses a distinct adoption barrier — mobile capture, AI workflows, European compliance, team coordination.
◆Where it's heading
Folk is building toward a CRM that closes deals on founders' terms: light enough to skip an admin, extensible enough to plug into AI workflows via MCP, and now compliant enough for EU buyers. Tasks and the Interactions API beta signal an expansion beyond pure contact management into sales workflow territory.
◆Prediction
The Interactions API (beta since Jul 29) is the most likely next GA milestone. Folk's MCP-first posture also sets up deeper AI-native CRM actions — likely next is letting agents write back to the CRM, not just read from it.

    Your data, closer to home 🇪🇺

    Get organized and efficient with group updates

    Group views gain a vertical layout option, a dedicated group page, and faster sharing shortcuts — UX improvements that make group-based workflows more navigable. Consistent with folk's pattern of iterating on collaboration surfaces after shipping a feature.

    Task updates that keep your team moving

    Task management gains automation, recurrence, and improved tracking — deepening the Tasks launch from August into a real coordination layer. Folk is maturing the feature past a simple to-do list toward full sales workflow support.

    folk MCP turns interactions into insight

    An update to folk's MCP integration extends it with interaction history, so AI clients can reason over past conversations in addition to static contact data. Builds on the July MCP launch by adding richer context for AI-assisted CRM workflows.

    Capture the conversation while it’s fresh

    Talk-to-text lands in the mobile Contacts app, letting users log call notes by voice immediately after a conversation. Supports the mobile-first capture workflow folk is building around its Contacts app.

    No more waiting—Meet Tasks

    ⚡ SPARK

    Folk launches Tasks — a new capability category that pushes the product beyond contact management into sales workflow coordination. This is folk's first step into team-visible action tracking, which positions it to displace lightweight project tools in sales contexts.
