Friday

models keep getting smarter in labs. for most people, daily life barely changes. friday is my attempt to close that gap: an assistant that actually lives on your machine, sees what you see, and talks back.

press a hotkey (or say "hey friday") and ask about what's on your screen. friday captures the display, reads it through a local vision model, thinks with a local language model, and answers out loud. no cloud. no api keys. no subscription.

the core loop works today: speech-to-text → screen context → local inference → text-to-speech, in under a couple of seconds. it remembers you across sessions, manages its own model servers, and can take action through connectors (github, calendar, email, browser) when you ask it to.

i'm building friday because i want the thing on my desk to feel as capable as the models in the data center, without sending my screen or my life to someone else's server. consumer product, not research demo.
