FRIDAY: Your Personal AI Assistant

Introduction to FRIDAY

FRIDAY is an ambitious project: a personal AI assistant inspired by the intelligent systems in the Iron Man series. Designed to run functions, engage in casual conversation, and remember key information, FRIDAY is built to bring a highly interactive AI experience to life.

FRIDAY isn't just another assistant; it’s my own experiment with technology, combining tools and APIs in innovative ways to push the boundaries of what a personal AI can achieve. This side project lets me explore, test, and integrate technologies that bring FRIDAY closer to the capabilities of Iron Man’s JARVIS and FRIDAY assistants.

What FRIDAY Can Do

FRIDAY has been designed to emulate the following core capabilities:

  • Function Execution: FRIDAY can run specific tasks or functions, making it useful for handling various automations and command executions.

  • Casual Conversations: Beyond functionality, FRIDAY can engage in casual conversations, making interactions feel natural and enjoyable.

  • Memory Management: The AI has a memory feature, enabling it to remember important context, preferences, and recurring information. This allows FRIDAY to provide more personalized and contextually aware responses over time.

Technology and Design

FRIDAY is a learning and testing playground for various technologies, APIs, and development techniques. Built with a collection of free-to-use APIs and frameworks, FRIDAY’s development has remained low-cost, making it accessible and feasible as a side project. All project planning and feature tracking is organized in Trello to ensure each development milestone is met effectively.

Key Technologies

FRIDAY also integrates Ollama to expand its AI capabilities, adding a layer of powerful natural language understanding and conversational ability that brings it closer to emulating real-time, dynamic interaction. This allows FRIDAY run completely local. (Except for APIs)

Project Vision

The vision for FRIDAY is expansive. Inspired by the impressive AI systems in the Iron Man series, I aim to build an assistant that feels as intelligent, responsive, and versatile as those fictional counterparts. With continuous learning and advancements in AI, I hope to bring FRIDAY closer to this goal, making it capable of assisting users in ways beyond current, conventional AI assistants.
