Friday

What it does

Hand it a goal and it routes each step to whichever model suits, checks the output, pauses before anything risky, and keeps what you told it — you steer rather than supervise. It isn't a model: the intelligence is the providers you already pay for, while the orchestrator, your keys and your memory stay local. The approval gate is the whole value, so widening auto-approval to save clicks removes the reason to use it. Provider choice is yours, and the list includes ones you may not want. MIT.

Friday FAQ

Is Friday free?

Friday itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use Friday?

It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.

Does Friday work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can I use Friday commercially?

The licence is MIT, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
