Friday is an agent harness platform that wraps a language model with memory, MCP tool integrations, scheduling, and FSM-backed orchestration. Users describe a workflow in plain language and Friday builds a production-grade agent that runs on a schedule or on demand. The desktop app (Friday Studio) runs entirely on the user's machine, storing data, credentials, and workflow configuration locally.
