Friday F.ai

Released May 2026 · 17 new modules · Megamind multi-brain router · Nigerian fintech · Daily briefs with push notifications · CLI + VS Code + Capacitor mobile shells.

🧠 Intelligence

• Genius mode — context aggregator (12 layers: profile, memory, calendar, gmail, slack, weather, etc.) + 5-brain ensemble + judge model. Toggle with /genius auto so Friday only pays the cost on hard questions.
• Megamind — multi-provider router that combines free brains (Groq, Cerebras, Gemini, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, GitHub Models, HuggingFace, Cloudflare AI). Key-pool rotation, automatic fallback, ensemble + self-consistency + speculative drafting.
• Curiosity — Friday asks ONE clarifying question instead of guessing on vague prompts (single biggest jump in perceived intelligence).
• Explain — every reply can show "▸ how I got this" — reasoning trace, sources, context layers, copy-prompt button.
• Fork — branch any conversation into 7 modes: alternative · steel-man · devil's advocate · child / expert / shorter / longer · custom.
• Realtime + Async — true SSE token streaming with mid-stream /steer + /stop; fire-and-forget background jobs with push notifications.

🇳🇬 Nigerian fintech & identity

• Paystack · Flutterwave · Monnify — full payment rails. /send 5000 to 0123456789@058 via paystack reason: rent actually moves money.
• Airtime + Data — /airtime 200 to 08031234567 auto-detects MTN/Airtel/Glo/9mobile and routes via any connected provider.
• BVN / NIN / Driver's licence verify — via VerifyMe.ng or YouVerify.co. /bvn 22123456789 returns matched identity with no raw data stored.
• Naija news — RSS aggregator across 12 outlets (Punch, Premium Times, Daily Trust, Channels TV, Vanguard, Guardian, BusinessDay, Sahara Reporters, TheCable, ThisDay, Pulse, Nairametrics).
• Naija jobs — cross-source search (Jobberman, MyJobMag, NgCareers, Indeed NG, LinkedIn NG) with twin-voiced cover letters + Chrome-extension auto-apply.

📅 Daily briefs & push notifications

• 4 brief slots — Morning (08:00), Midday catch-up (11:00), Evening wrap-up (17:00), Night cap (23:00). Per-user timezone-aware scheduling.
• 5 voice tones — Warm · Executive · Motivational · Newscast · Nigerian Pidgin.
• Delivery — Web push, email (via your Gmail), or in-chat only.
• 13 notification templates — briefs, meeting reminders, urgent email, payment received, invoice overdue, goal check-in, pulse signal, job done, birthday nudge, inactivity nudge.
• Configurable from Settings → Daily Briefs.

🎤 Sensing & output

• Voice — wake-word ("Hey Friday"), continuous mode, 6 personality voices, barge-in.
• Vision — live camera or screen-share with continuous frame analysis.
• Screen Pilot — Friday watches your screen, narrates, suggests next steps, alerts on errors.
• Translate — live bilingual interpreter (mic in / voice out) with Yoruba / Igbo / Hausa / Pidgin cultural notes baked into the prompt.
• Receipt capture — snap a receipt → structured fields → filed into Sheets/Airtable/HubSpot/Notion/CSV.
• Canvas — infinite drag-drop workspace with auto-link + summarise.
• Deck + Video — generate pitch decks and short videos with images, narration, and PDF/MP4 export.

💻 Reach beyond the browser

• Local model — Llama 3.2 1B / 3B, Phi 3.5, Qwen 2.5, Gemma 2 running on WebGPU in your browser. Works offline, zero cost.
• CLI — npm i -g friday-cli → friday "explain B-trees" from any terminal. Streaming, code review, agent, image gen.
• VS Code extension — chat, explain, refactor with diff, review file, generate from comment, fix diagnostic, commit message.
• Capacitor mobile shell — wraps the PWA for App Store + Play Store with native push, camera, biometrics, deep links.
• Desktop bridge — Chrome extension that lets Friday drive your real authenticated browser sessions.
• Twin — Friday studies your writing samples and drafts in your voice. Used by /jobs for cover letters.
• Handoff — start a chat on phone, tap "send to laptop", desktop picks up live.
• Collab — multi-user shared sessions with role-based permissions (admin/contributor/viewer + Friday-as-member).
• Pulse — proactive context surfacing: watches Gmail/Slack/Calendar/GitHub/news/finance/weather and emits cards unprompted.
• Vault — encrypted personal vault. Friday can use secrets in flows but never echoes them.
• Import — bring your ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini export history in one drop.

🎨 UX

• Slash-command popup — type / in chat and a categorised menu floats above the input. Arrow-key navigation, click-to-fill.
• Live progress bubbles — long ops (genius, deck, video, model load, import) show a single bubble with a smooth animated bar, step pills, and ETA — no chat spam.
• Friendly tier labels — replies say "blazing fast · 240ms" instead of "cerebras/llama3.3-70b".
• Genius badge — floating pill bottom-right when Genius mode is active. One-tap cycle.

• Your name, preferred nickname, and pronouns
• Your industry, role, and language preference
• Your stated preferences — "I prefer concise replies", "I always work in NGN"
• Top topics you ask about (with co-occurrence graph)
• Facts you've shared across sessions (capped at 50)
• Recent sentiment trend — Friday adapts tone when you turn frustrated

Every 10 messages, Friday silently runs an extraction pass on the conversation to identify new facts. These are merged into your profile at users/{uid}/memory/profile. Memory is injected at the top of every future prompt. The intelligence layer also tracks domain scores, preferences, recent topics, and sentiment locally in localStorage.

Once a conversation exceeds 30 messages, Friday auto-generates a rolling 3–5 sentence summary and saves it. The summary is injected into the context window for every future message in that conversation.

Before sending, Friday's intelligence layer scans your prompt for emails, phone numbers (NG + international), credit cards, NIN, BVN, account numbers, AWS keys, Stripe keys, Friday keys, raw private keys, and labelled passwords — and can warn you (or auto-redact) before the message leaves the browser.

Friday notices when you're "going in circles" — three or more semantically similar questions in a row — and surfaces an option to try a different angle, switch model, or talk to a human.

1. Worker detects image prompt, returns type: "image_request"
2. Browser shows the style picker. User picks a model.
3. Browser sends type: "image_proxy" to the worker
4. Worker validates Friday key, fetches Pollinations server-side
5. Worker streams image bytes back to browser
6. Browser uploads to imgbb for a permanent shareable URL
7. Chat renders image card with caption, expand, and download buttons

Friday can send up to four push notifications a day, each tied to a different "moment":

• ☀️ Morning brief (default 08:00) — calendar, top emails, Nigerian headlines, weather, one focus item
• ☕ Midday catch-up (11:00) — what changed since morning: new Slack mentions, new emails, pulse signals
• 🌇 Evening wrap-up (17:00) — what got done, what's open, tomorrow's first meeting, journal prompt
• 🌙 Night cap (23:00) — tomorrow's first meeting, weather, your three priorities

Each is independently enabled and time-shifted. Configure them at Settings → Daily Briefs.

• Warm — friendly assistant voice, uses your nickname
• Executive — terse, headlines only, no fluff
• Motivational — high-energy coach voice
• Newscast — third-person, crisp, factual
• Nigerian Pidgin — natural and lively ("How far this morning! Your day dey load…")

• Push notification — best for phone (after PWA install + push permission)
• Email — drafted in your connected Gmail account, addressed to yourself
• Both
• Chat-only — appears in your Friday inbox but doesn't push

Friday picks the right template per situation. All shipped in friday-templates.js:

• morning_brief · midday_catchup · evening_wrap · night_cap — the 4 daily slots
• meeting_reminder — N minutes before each calendar event
• urgent_email — when Pulse flags an email as urgent (with "Draft reply" action)
• payment_received — Paystack / Flutterwave / Monnify webhook
• invoice_overdue — outstanding invoice past due
• goal_check_in — daily nudge from friday-coach
• pulse_signal — generic Pulse-surfaced signal (custom actions per signal)
• job_done — async job completion ("✓ Done — Research X")
• birthday_nudge — from your Google Contacts
• inactivity_nudge — when you haven't opened Friday in N days

1. Install Friday as a PWA (see Widget section below) — push only works on installed apps.
2. Open Settings → Daily Briefs & Notifications
3. Click Enable next to "Push notifications" — browser will ask permission
4. Toggle the briefs you want; pick your local times; choose tone + delivery
5. Save. Friday's scheduler runs every 15 minutes and fires briefs that fall within ±7 minutes of your configured local time. Idempotent — each brief fires at most once per day.

1. Open https://friday.zylinkcorp.com.ng/chat.html in Safari
2. Tap the Share button at the bottom (square with up-arrow)
3. Scroll down → Add to Home Screen
4. Tap Add. Friday icon appears on your home screen.
5. Open it once to register the service worker — push notifications now work (iOS 16.4+)

True home-screen widgets (iOS 17 lock-screen-style widgets) require the Capacitor-wrapped native app from the App Store. The Add to Home Screen install gives you the full-screen app with all features.

1. Open https://friday.zylinkcorp.com.ng/chat.html in Chrome
2. Menu (⋮) → Install app (or "Add to Home screen")
3. Confirm. Friday lands in your app drawer with the proper icon.
4. Long-press the icon — you'll see the manifest shortcuts: Chat · Genius · Voice · Vision · Canvas · Pulse · Fade · Auto · Dev
5. Share from any app → Friday appears in the share sheet

1. Open chat.html in Chrome / Edge / Brave
2. Address bar shows an install icon (⊕) on the right — click it
3. Friday gets its own dock/start-menu entry and a clean standalone window
4. Right-click the Friday icon in the dock → see the shortcut menu

The PWA exposes 9 shortcuts visible from the home-screen long-press / right-click menu:

Once Friday is installed as a PWA:

• Android: any app → Share → Friday appears in the sheet → choose Friday → the shared content arrives as a chat bubble with "what would you like me to do?" follow-up
• iOS 17+: same flow via Share sheet
• Supported content types: text, URLs, images, PDFs, plain text files, CSV, JSON, Office documents

For App Store / Play Store distribution + true iOS lock-screen widgets, use the Capacitor mobile shell:

1. cd friday-mobile
2. npm install
3. npx cap add ios (Mac + Xcode) or npx cap add android (Android Studio)
4. npx cap open ios / open android — runs in simulator or device

See friday-mobile/README.md for the full publish-to-store walkthrough.

All sensitive connector fields (access tokens, secrets, bot tokens, refresh tokens) are encrypted with AES-GCM before being written to Firestore. Per-user keys are derived with HKDF-SHA256 from a worker secret + the user's UID, so each user's credentials are independently protected.

Token exchange for Google and Spotify happens entirely server-side via the worker's oauth_exchange endpoint. Client secrets never touch the user's browser persistently. Refresh tokens are rotated automatically when expired.

All upstream provider keys (Groq, Gemini, Tavily, Pollinations) live as Cloudflare Worker secrets. The browser never sees them — every model call is routed through the gateway with a scoped fri_ key.

Optional compliance_check endpoint scans content for PII / secrets / contract terms before they leave your control. Regex catches credit cards, SSNs, AWS keys, IBANs, private keys, Friday/Stripe keys; deep mode adds an LLM pass for contextual risks like trade secrets and confidential business info.

Upstream error messages are scrubbed of key= / token= fragments and capped before reaching the client, so a provider 401 never leaks a secret URL.

The worker honours an optional ALLOWED_ORIGINS environment variable to restrict CORS — set it to your production domain(s) to keep leaked keys from being usable from arbitrary origins.

An Install banner slides up from the bottom of the chat page. Tap Install → Friday is added to your home screen and opens full-screen.

Tap the Share button → Add to Home Screen.

Click the install icon in the address bar, or browser menu → Install Friday F.ai.

Full access to chat, all 4 AI modes, image generation, memory, Fade, Bot Builder, Zino, Apps Script integrations, and PWA install. Up to 3 API keys. Pro mode limited to 10 calls/day.
