Your AI. Your data.
Your rules.
Agent Friday is a personal AI that runs on your computer, knows your life, and never sends your data to anyone.
Bounded by Asimov's cLaws — cryptographically enforced safety constraints — and built on the Asimov's Mind governance architecture. No account. No telemetry. No cloud lock-in.
Prefer the source? Clone github.com/FutureSpeakAI/Agent-Friday, run install.sh, and you're up in two minutes. 100% free and open source.

Your personal AI agent operating system.
Runs on your machine. Knows your life. Respects your boundaries.
Sovereign by default
All state lives on your machine. Local-only vault, Ed25519 identity, access control enforced in code. No telemetry. No account. (At-rest encryption is on the roadmap.) The USB drive works in an air-gapped bunker.
Memory that lasts
Episodic and semantic recall. A trust graph of the people in your life. Friday remembers what you worked on yesterday and who follows through. HMAC-signed state, tamper-evident on every read.
A persona that grows up
Personality matures across 13 evolution structures from witnessed interactions. The Epistemic Independence Score watches for user dependency and flags sycophancy collapse below 0.5.
Safety as code, not policy
The cLaws are enforced by hooks before every tool call. Users control personality; they cannot override safety. Safety floors only go up. Protected zones are immutable.
Not a chatbot. A companion that does the work.
An assistant does what you tell it. Friday tells you what you need to hear — and then handles it.
Voice mode
Talk to Friday. She talks back. With opinions. Affective, real-time conversation that draws on everything she knows about your world.
News editor
Friday reads 40+ sources, fact-checks them against each other with a Source Trust Graph, and writes you a daily editorial. The only AI that scores its own news.
Career search
Like having a recruiting firm working for you 24/7, except sovereign. Friday scans roles, scores them, drafts tailored applications, and preps you for interviews.
Friday shows its work.
A journalist's best friend. Friday cites every factual claim with inline citations, links to primary sources with text-fragment highlighting, recalls past conversations verbatim via vector memory, and generates source dossiers on demand. Toggle “Cite Sources” and every statement comes with receipts. Low-trust sources get flagged automatically via the Source Trust Graph.
Vector conversation memory
Friday remembers what you discussed. A ChromaDB-powered vector store lets her recall past conversations verbatim — and cite them, so “we talked about this last week” comes with the exact passage attached.
Inline citations
Every factual claim is tagged at the point it's made — [wiki:…], [news:…], [memory:…], and [web:…] — not a vague “sources” list bolted on at the end.
Highlighted source links
Web citations use Chrome text fragments (#:~:text=). Click one and the browser opens the source page scrolled to and highlighting the exact passage Friday quoted. No hunting for the line.
Source dossiers on demand
Ask for the receipts and Friday generates an exportable dossier — every claim, its source, and a confidence score, in one auditable list you can file, share, or fact-check yourself.
Fact-check integration
Citations run through the Source Trust Graph. When Friday leans on a source with a weak track record, the claim is flagged with a low-trust warning instead of presented as settled fact.
The “Cite Sources” toggle
One switch turns on source production mode. Flip it for research, reporting, or any time the stakes are high — and every statement Friday makes comes back with receipts attached.

How it works
From download to a Friday that grows with you — in four steps.
Download
Grab the Windows build from GitHub releases, or clone the repo and run the installer. No account to create.
Enter your API keys
Bring your own model keys, or run fully local with Ollama and zero cloud keys. You stay in control of every provider.
Tell Friday about yourself
A short onboarding conversation. Friday learns your name, your work, the people and projects that matter — once.
Watch your workspaces grow
Friday ships with seeds, not a fixed set of tools. As she learns your patterns, she grows new workspaces tailored to your life.
Sovereign AI displaces SaaS.
For twenty years the deal was the same: rent the software, hand over the data, accept the terms. A sovereign agent that runs on your own machine, knows your whole life, and does the work inverts that deal. When one governed agent can read your news, triage your messages, draft your replies, run your code, and manage your week — the case for a dozen separate subscriptions that each hold a slice of you, and rent it back, collapses.
You own it
Open source, runs locally, no account, no telemetry. The software works in an air-gapped bunker.
It holds your data
Your context lives in one sovereign place, not scattered across vendors who monetize it. The Privacy Shield scrubs PII before anything reaches a cloud model.
It does the work
Liquid UI workspaces — a core set, plus new ones Friday grows for you — replace the dashboards you log into. One agent, governed by the cLaws, instead of a stack of SaaS tabs.
How We Compare
There are other agent frameworks. There is only one that fact-checks its own news sources and challenges its own user.
Unlike chatbots
Chatbots run on someone else's server and hold a slice of you to rent back. Friday runs on yours — local-only state, an evolving People Graph, and a Privacy Shield that scrubs your data before anything ever reaches a cloud model.
Unlike agent frameworks
Most agent frameworks just execute tasks. Friday has opinions, editorial judgment, and the integrity to disagree with you — the cLaws enforced before every tool call, and a Source Trust Graph that scores the news instead of just summarizing it.
The Key Differentiator
The only agent that fact-checks its own news sources and challenges its own user.
Your AI is waiting on your machine.
Download it, tell it about your life, and watch it grow. Free, open source, and yours.
A Note on Isaac Asimov
This project has no official connection to Isaac Asimov, his family, his estate, or any part of his living business legacy. We want to be completely transparent about that.
What we do have is a deep, abiding love for the man and his work. Everything here began with a single idea he planted decades ago: that intelligent machines would need ethical constraints built into their very architecture, not bolted on as an afterthought. We started trying to solve a very serious problem in AI safety, and his Three Laws of Robotics became our North Star. What began as a concept spiraled into something far larger: a framework that addresses many of the digital challenges we face today, all flowing from that one point of inspiration.
Every piece of this project is free and open source. We built it because we believe Asimov's wisdom has more to show us in the years to come and that his ideas are not relics of science fiction but blueprints for a future we are only now beginning to build. Everything that carries the Asimov name — Asimov's Mind, Asimov's cLaws, the Asimov Federation, all of it — is offered for free under the MIT license. We are not making money on anything related to Isaac's work, and that will remain our operative principle. All of our Asimov Agent innovations will always be free and open source, purely out of a desire to see his ideas manifest in the world. FutureSpeak.AI's commercial services exist separately; the Asimov ecosystem is, and will always be, a gift.
We have made a commitment: the moment FutureSpeak.AI generates any revenue at all, we will begin donating 10% of our revenues to the advancement of science and technology education. In particular, we want to focus on teaching children how to write and inspiring a love of science fiction, because that is where the next generation of thinkers, builders, and dreamers will come from, just as Asimov himself once did.
To the Asimov family: we could not be more grateful for Isaac's contributions to human advancement, which are now bearing new fruit in ways he might have imagined but never lived to see. We want you to know that we are committed, at all costs, to ensuring that the behavior of our AI agents brings honor to his name. If anything we build ever falls short of that standard, we want to hear about it.
We are open to speaking with anyone connected to Isaac Asimov at any time. We welcome that dialogue and would be honored by it.
Thank you, genuinely, for sharing him with the world.
