What is Friday?
Friday is a private control plane for AI agents that runs locally on your machine while using cloud models you already pay for. It builds a loop that finds work, assigns it to appropriate AI models, verifies completion with proof receipts, records results, and manages what's next—all under your supervision. Risky steps pause for manual approval, while safe work proceeds automatically. The system maintains memory of confirmed facts, logs hash-chained audit trails, and supports optional inbound channels like Discord, Telegram, and Lark/Feishu for task intake.
