<strong>Your private control plane for AI agents.</strong><br>
Hand it a goal. It routes each step to an AI, checks the work, asks before anything risky, and remembers what you told it — so you're steering, not babysitting. You hold the keys.<br>

> **Friday isn't a model, and it isn't a chatbot.** The "brains" are the cloud AIs *you* already pay for (BYOK: Codex, Claude, DeepSeek, …). Friday is the **boss that puts them to work** — and the boss, plus your keys, your data, and your memory, all live on your own machine. **You own the boss; you just rent the brains.**
## Quickstart
Friday runs from source today and requires Node.js 22 or newer.
On macOS with Homebrew:
```bash
brew install node@22
git clone https://github.com/thesongzhu/Friday.git
cd Friday
open "Friday Setup.command"
```
If setup reports an older or missing Node.js, install Node.js 22+, then run `Friday Setup.command` again.
## What Is Friday?
The trick with AI agents isn't prompting them yourself all day — it's building **the loop that prompts them for you**. Friday is that loop, turned into a product and made safe:
> **finds the work → hands it to an AI → checks it actually did it → writes down what's done → picks the next thing** — the system nags the agents, so you don't have to.
Under the hood it runs Codex, Claude, and DeepSeek like a **metered crew** — cheap models do the thinking and planning, pricey ones do the heavy lifting — keeps the receipts, and hits pause on anything risky until you say go.
## How The Loop Works
```
your goal
│
▼
route ── pick an AI for this step (you can re-route)
│
▼
execute ── governed: risky steps pause for your approval
│
▼
verify ── prove it's really done (don't trust "I'm done")
│
▼
remember ── candidate → you confirm → it remembers
│
└──────────────► the next thing
```
The leg everyone else skips is **verify**. An agent grading its own homework will absolutely cut corners — so in Friday, "done" has to come with a **receipt stapled to it**. A model saying *"ok,"* or a process that just quietly exits, doesn't count on its own.
Two more things keep it from feeling like a dumb dispatcher: if your goal is vague, Friday **asks you what you actually meant** instead of guessing — and burns zero tokens until it's clear; and when a job needs both coding *and* big-picture synthesis, it can let one model write the code and only tap a second one in **once the first has proven it's done**.
## What Makes It Different (And Hard To Copy)
Codex and Claude each hand you one great agent. Neither will police the *other* for you, and neither puts the controls on your side. Friday sits one floor up — across vendors, on your machine — with a few guarantees that are **baked into how it's built**, not a checkbox the same program could flip on itself:
- **We never gave Friday a pen.** It carries the key that *checks* your signature, never the one that *writes* one — so on anything dangerous it can't fake your "yes"; the sign-off has to come from your own hand, offline, on your own device.
- **A model can't wave its own riExcerpt of 10,325 characters
