sometimes you don't want a quick answer. you want Folk to go dig. that's what /research is for. Folk spends real time (think minutes, not seconds) looking into something properly - multiple sources, cross-checked - then comes back with a ranked, reasoned answer instead of a guess.

/research

which standing desk is actually worth it under $400?

compare these three neighborhoods for a family with a dog

what you get back

a ranked shortlist with the reasoning attached: the top options, why each one made the cut, and the details that matter - hours, prices, trade-offs. ask follow-ups and Folk digs further without starting over.

research vs a quick lookup

for something fast and simple, just ask Folk normally: "what's a good sushi place open right now near me?" skip /research for that. save it for when you want the deep, ranked version - purchases you'll live with, places you'll commit an evening to, decisions with real trade-offs.

it browses like you do

when public search results aren't enough, Folk can open its own browser and check the actual sites - menus, availability, reviews - before it makes a call.
