Cosa fa Friday

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.

The AI Assistant for Gmail

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're building an AI assistant that learns how to predict what you will do with your emails and then acts on them automatically. It filters spam, extracts important bits from newsletters, sends notifications, and replies to routine emails, so users only need to open the few emails that truly require their attention.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our team is located and where we can access smart technical talent and early users who rely heavily on email. Staying here keeps our focus tight and execution fast.
