Friday

An assistant that understands your emails and handles them for you

Email sucks. It takes forever to go through, and hiring an assistant is costly and invasive. Friday is building the assistant that learns how to predict the action that you will take on your emails, and does it for you. Today's email products try to help you go through your emails a little faster, but if you have to get through 1000 emails, those products doesn't do much for you. The reality is, most of the emails you get don't require you to personally look at them. Friday completely eliminates the need to check those emails, and handles them all at once for you, immediately. Friday is here to file away spam, sift through newsletters for important tidbits, text you important notifications, and reply to mundane emails, so that no matter how many thousands of emails are in your inbox, you'll just be left with the few emails that actually require your personal touch. Getting this right is difficult, so everyone else settles with trying to help you go through your email twice as fast. If you want to go 100x as fast, you shouldn't spend even a second on useless emails. Friday gets this right, bringing the elite experience of having a professional assistant to the entire world.

Company Launches

Hey everyone! We're Allen and Advait from Friday and we are using AI to help you reduce your email inbox to only the most essential emails, teaching your assistant how to handle the rest.

TLDR: Email sucks, and takes forever. Most of your emails don’t require you to personally handle them. So, like a human assistant, Friday will draft responses, perform outreach and follow up, text you when you get urgent emails, get rid of clutter, and more, so you can focus on the dozen or so actually important emails in your inbox.

Friday is meant for anyone who would benefit from having an assistant manage their inbox. If you want to automate 99% of your emails, try Friday right now!

The Problem:

Email sucks. You either spend hours dealing with all the emails in your inbox, or you ignore them.

It takes forever, and hiring a human assistant is costly and introduces privacy concerns.

The Insight:

The reality is that almost all of the emails you receive resemble emails that you have dealt with before.

So, you can just tell an AI what kind of emails you get, and tell it exactly how to handle those emails, and it can just do it for you.

Now, you only have to deal with the important, fun, or unique emails, forever eliminating the chore of going through your inbox.

The Solution:

Smart Inbox

You can tell Friday the kinds of emails you get using natural language, and then define actions that Friday should take once those emails come in.

For example:

  • When you get an investor email, Friday gives personalized answers to their questions and sends them a meeting link.
  • If a customer has an urgent request, have Friday text you so you can respond to them immediately.
  • Follow up with clients that take forever to answer their email, until they respond (they should use Friday).
  • If you get customer support emails, Friday answers their questions based on its memories and forwards the interaction to your cofounder.
  • Summarize all the notifications from GitHub, Linear, Google, etc., and then archive those emails
  • Whenever you get a new customer, Friday can search the web and write a personalized email to all of them, answering any questions they may have, immediately
  • And so much more!

Just take a look at your inbox, see the emails that aren’t extremely important, and let Friday handle those emails from now on, so your inbox is left with the 5 emails a day that you want to personally handle.

Personal Assistant

Friday also lets you chat with your personal assistant. You can have it reply to emails, check your inbox, send out personalized outbound, and more!

For example, if you wanted a meeting with Garry, you could ask Friday to go through your previous email history with Garry, perform a web search to learn more about Garry, and using what it knows about you, write a personalized email to him.

You can give it a dozen names or emails, and it’ll do research and write personalized emails to all of them that can be approved and sent out with a single message.

Getting this right is difficult, so everyone else settles with trying to help you go through your email twice as fast. If you want to go 100x as fast, you shouldn't spend even a second on useless emails.
