What changed, what is blocked, and what needs attention.

Evidence firstCompany brain → workflow agent
Find the work that keeps slowing you down.
Friday builds a live company brain from the tools where work already happens, proves the bottleneck behind recurring delay, then converts that workflow into a permissioned agent.
- On-premise
- Open-model runtime
- Zero vendor retention
Evidence from the tools
where work already happens.
The company brain
Evidence travels all the way to action.
Friday reconstructs how work moves, identifies the repeated constraint, and only then defines the agent. Every conclusion stays linked to the source that produced it.
01 · Brief
Know the business without chasing the business
Friday reads activity across communication, planning, code, and documents, then synthesizes one current operating picture with every claim linked back to evidence.
Signals · synthesis · source-linked briefSelected evidence
Friday / Brief
Synthesize briefFrom activity to a verified constraint
A conclusion your team can trace, not another dashboard.
Friday follows work across systems and separates a repeated process failure from a one-off delay before anything is automated.
Example finding
Approval work arrives without the evidence needed to decide.
Friday grounds this claim in the messages, tickets, documents, and code changes inside the selected workflow.
- 01
Reconstruct
Connect only the sources needed to see how the workflow really moves.
- 02
Verify
Find the repeated handoff or delay and link the claim back to evidence.
- 03
Specify
Define inputs, allowed actions, approval gates, and the release test.
System-sovereign by design
Your data never has to leave your boundary.
Run Friday, storage, the model, and the agent inside customer-controlled infrastructure, with no company data handled or retained by the Friday vendor.
Controls that cross the boundary
System-sovereign deployment
Run Friday inside your VPC, private cloud, or on-premise environment so company artifacts stay within infrastructure you control.
Open-model inference
Use an approved open model inside the same boundary, keeping synthesis prompts and outputs away from external model APIs.
Zero vendor retention
In sovereign mode, the Friday vendor does not receive or retain company artifacts. Storage and retention remain under your policy.
Permissioned workflow agents
Deploy agents against specific bottlenecks with narrow tool access, explicit action limits, audit trails, and human approval gates.
The workflow becomes the specification
Agents improve through evidence, not guesswork.
Reviewed failures become tests. A candidate ships only when it improves quality without breaking the agreed limits for cost, latency, or control.
Evidence
Ground it in the real workflow
Build the task set from actual handoffs, edge cases, failures, and approved outcomes.
Evaluate
Replay before release
Measure task success, human corrections, latency, and cost against a stable evaluation harness.
Specialize
Right-size the model
Route repeatable work to a smaller open model while reserving frontier capability for hard cases.
Improve
Promote only measured gains
Use reviewed failures as new tests and ship a change only when it beats the current agent release.
When the 100× target is credible
Use frontier intelligence where it earns its cost.
Stable production work can move to a specialist open model, narrow context, caching, and deterministic tools. The comparison is cost per successful outcome—not token price in isolation.

Guardrails travel with the workflow
Control stays attached in production.
Discovery begins read-only, action scope stays narrow, consequential changes wait for approval, and every promoted agent passes the same release test.
Review security and governanceStart with source evidence and no write permissions while the constraint is being verified.
Allowlist only the sources, tools, and actions required by the selected workflow.

Review personalized onboardingWhat is Friday?+
Friday is a company intelligence and workflow-agent system. It connects the tools where work already happens, creates a current operating brief and searchable memory, finds recurring workflow bottlenecks, and turns approved constraints into permissioned agents. It can run on-premise with open-model inference.
Which tools can Friday connect to?+
Friday supports sources such as Slack, Linear, GitHub, Notion, Gmail, Google Drive, Jira, Asana, and more. Its connector layer uses Composio, so additional supported toolkits can be added without rebuilding the product around a new OAuth flow.
Can Friday run fully on-premise?+
Yes. Friday offers a system-sovereign deployment for companies that need the application, source data, and model inference inside their own VPC, private cloud, or on-premise environment. The deployment boundary and operational responsibilities are defined during personalized onboarding.
Can we use an open model without sending data to an external model API?+
Yes in a system-sovereign deployment. Friday can be configured around an approved open model running inside the same controlled environment, so prompts, company artifacts, and generated outputs stay within your infrastructure.
What does zero retention mean?+
For a system-sovereign deployment, zero vendor retention means the Friday vendor does not receive or store your company artifacts. Your own Friday instance still processes and retains the data needed for briefs, search, and history according to the storage policy you control.
How is Friday different from a dashboard or weekly report?+
A dashboard makes you interpret separate charts; a weekly report is already aging when it arrives. Friday reads across systems, preserves the source context, and writes one narrative view of what changed, what is blocked, and what needs attention.
Can I control what Friday reads?+
Yes. Workspace owners choose connected accounts and can define focused scopes using specific tools and keywords. That lets leaders build a company-wide view while teams keep narrower briefs for their own operating area.
Does Friday identify individual employees?+
Friday is designed to produce an anonymous operating narrative by default. The emphasis is on roles, projects, risks, and company-level signals—not ranking people or turning activity into surveillance.
How does Friday turn a bottleneck into an agent?+
Friday starts with evidence from the workflow: repeated delays, handoffs, missing context, and blocked work. Personalized onboarding selects one constraint, defines a narrow agent objective, limits its tools and allowed actions, and adds human approval for consequential steps.
What does a self-improving agent mean in Friday?+
It means the agent is improved through an evaluation-controlled release loop—not that it rewrites itself in production. Reviewed failures become replayable tests, candidate prompts, tools, routes, and models are measured, and only configurations that improve quality without breaking cost or latency limits are promoted.
How can a custom agent cost up to 100 times less than frontier-only inference?+
Qualified, repetitive workflows often do not need the largest frontier model on every run. Friday uses frontier capability for design, difficult cases, and evaluation, then routes stable production tasks to smaller specialist open models with caching and constrained context. The target is measured against a frontier-only baseline per successful task; actual savings depend on the workflow, volume, model, and quality threshold.
What happens during personalized onboarding?+
We map your deployment boundary, source stack, model policy, and highest-cost workflow bottleneck. Then we design a focused first brief and one permissioned agent pilot around your real operating process.
Personalized onboarding · 15 minutes
Bring one bottleneck. Leave with a sovereign agent pilot map.
We will map the workflow evidence, your on-premise boundary, the approved open model, the agent's allowed actions, and the test that proves whether the pilot is worth running.
