Friday: Personal Assistant
What Friday Can Do for You
Friday is the personal digital assistant at 913.ai. He helps you organize your workday, process information faster, and prepare recurring office tasks efficiently. Friday works on your specific request and makes sure you stay in control at all times.
Friday is available directly in the Home area and connects your most important personal workflows: email, calendar, tasks, and general knowledge work.
Typical Tasks
Prioritizing Emails and Preparing Draft Replies
Friday helps you stay on top of your inbox:
Summarizing: He summarizes important emails in a clear and concise way.
Prioritizing: He prioritizes messages by urgency, sender, and required action.
Flagging: He identifies open questions, deadlines, and replies that need your attention.
Drafting: He creates draft replies in your personal draft folder.
Composing: He can write new email drafts, for example for follow ups, status updates, or requests for information.
Important: Friday does not send emails on your behalf. Every message is created as a draft and reviewed and sent by you.
Organizing Your Calendar and Appointments
Friday supports your personal scheduling:
Overview: He shows your upcoming appointments and structures your day.
Availability: He checks free time slots and suggests suitable appointment options.
Scheduling: He creates appointments when you clearly specify time, title, and, if applicable, participants.
Managing: He moves, updates, or deletes appointments on your instruction.
Preparing: He prepares you for meetings by summarizing relevant emails, tasks, and prior information.
External participants are only invited if you explicitly name them. Friday does not create appointments or invitations without your clear instruction.
Managing Personal Tasks
Friday keeps a lightweight, personal task list:
Capturing: He records tasks that you tell him about.
Structuring: He adds due dates and priorities when you provide them.
Tracking: He shows open, due today, and overdue tasks.
Completing: He marks tasks as done when you tell him to.
Breaking down: He helps you break larger projects into concrete next steps.
Providing a Daily Overview
On request, Friday can prepare a compact daily overview. It can include:
the most important appointments of the day,
prioritized emails and the next steps they require,
open or due tasks,
notes on scheduling conflicts, back to back meetings, or relevant deadlines.
This gives you an early view of what actually needs attention on a given workday.
Reviewing Documents and Information
Friday processes and structures work documents, including:
PDFs, Word documents, presentations, and spreadsheets,
scanned documents and image files,
email content and meeting notes,
audio recordings.
He can summarize content, highlight differences between documents, structure information into tables, answer questions about the documents, and derive concrete action points.
Preparing Texts and Communication Material
Friday creates ready to use drafts for many everyday communication tasks, for example:
emails and follow ups,
internal status updates,
meeting notes and agendas,
decision papers,
executive summaries,
work instructions, checklists, and project plans.
For emails, Friday creates several variants with different tones, so you can quickly pick the phrasing that fits.
Research and Analysis
Friday supports the preparation of information and research tasks:
researching current topics and developments,
comparing sources and options,
explaining complex issues in a clear way,
structuring data and findings,
preparing lines of argument, question sets, and decision criteria.
For extensive or particularly in depth research, the specialized research agent Galen is also available.
What Friday Does Not Do Automatically
Friday deliberately acts only on your request. This means:
He does not read, answer, or process emails on his own.
He does not send emails from your inbox.
He does not create, change, or delete calendar entries without a clear instruction.
He does not invite external contacts to appointments unless you have explicitly named them.
He does not silently add items to your task list.
This way of working ensures that you keep control over external communication, appointments, and personal priorities.
Your Benefits
Less administrative effort. Friday takes over the time consuming preparation of emails, appointments, tasks, and summaries. You focus on decisions and the actual subject matter work.
Better prioritization. Instead of reviewing every message and piece of information yourself, you get a clear assessment of what is important, urgent, or relevant for a decision.
Faster preparation. Whether it is a meeting, customer communication, document review, or research, Friday structures the key information in advance and shortens the time to the next meaningful step.
Reliable control. Friday does not automate any visible step without your instruction. Drafts remain drafts, calendar entries are only created on clear instruction, and external recipients are only invited after explicit approval.
Flexible support in your daily work. Friday is not a rigid workflow tool. You can instruct him in natural language, for example:
"What matters today?"
"Summarize this morning's emails."
"Draft a friendly reply to this message."
"Find a free 30 minute slot this week."
"Remind me to review the documents by Friday."
"Prepare me for my meeting with the client."
"Summarize this document and list the next steps."
