Friday
Here's a sunny Roman summer scene inspired by today's forecast: clear skies, 33°C at noon, and zero chance of rain. A perfect day for the Eternal City.
A capable assistant,
running on your desktop.
Chat that acts
Ask in plain language and Friday uses tools to finish the job — reads files, drafts documents, searches the web, runs commands, and generates images.
Local and private
Friday is a desktop app. Your keys, settings, credentials, history, and files stay on your machine, not inside a website chatbot.
Approval before action
Writing files, sending messages, and reaching outside services each need your explicit approval before Friday proceeds.
Speak and listen
Dictate instead of typing, transcribe recordings, and have Friday read replies aloud in the voices you choose.
Skills and MCP
Teach Friday reusable workflows and expose new tools through the Model Context Protocol.
Schedules and checks
Run recurring jobs, daily summaries, and health checks on a schedule, even when you are not actively chatting.
Ask naturally.
Approve real actions.
STEP 01
AskMake a request
Type or dictate what you want. Friday understands the goal, constraints, and expected output, then asks only when something critical is ambiguous.
STEP 02
PlanPick tools
It chooses the right files, commands, web search, browser, image generation, skill, MCP tool, subagent, or scheduled workflow for the task.
STEP 03
ActApprove and verify
Sensitive actions pause for confirmation. Friday then checks the result and returns an answer, file, image, scheduled job, or other ready-to-use artifact.
Unlike a website chatbot, Friday runs on your machine and works through the providers, credentials, and permissions you choose.

Common questions.
What is Friday?
Friday is a native desktop AI copilot for everyday tasks. You chat with it in plain language and it can use tools to read and write files, search the web, generate images, transcribe voice, speak back, run scheduled work, and connect to external services.
Does Friday send my data anywhere?
Friday is local-first. Data leaves your machine only when a task requires an AI provider, channel, MCP server, web request, or hosted service you configured. Provider keys, credentials, settings, memory, and conversation history live locally.
Do I have to use one specific AI provider?
No. Friday is bring-your-own-AI. Add your own provider keys and choose the provider and model for the assistant, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, image generation, and future media services. OpenAI-compatible endpoints can be configured too.
How does permissioning work?
Actions that write, delete, publish, send messages, access private data, or touch accounts require explicit approval. Friday shows a confirmation prompt before sensitive work proceeds.
Can Friday work from outside the app?
Yes. Channels let you talk to Friday from messaging platforms. Telegram is live today, and the channel catalog includes Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix, Mattermost, Google Chat, LINE, IRC, Twitch, and more.
What can be automated?
Use the scheduler for recurring assistant jobs such as daily summaries, routine checks, cleanup tasks, and reminders. Health checks can run periodically against a checklist and report only when attention is needed.
Which desktop platforms are supported?
Friday is built with Electron for Windows, macOS on Intel and Apple Silicon, and Linux. The interface supports English and Italian, with light, dark, and system themes.
Is Friday certified for regulated data?
Friday does not currently claim a formal regulated-data certification. Review your own AI providers' and connected services' terms for how they handle data you send them.
