Morning Briefings and Selective Memory in Personal AI
Effective personal assistants behave like a reliable chief of staff — not like an invasive monitoring tool. Open Friday uses local calendar and rhythm features with selective memory so usefulness does not require handing personal context to a third-party vendor by default.
Selective memory by design
Friday’s memory is searchable and local (embeddings + store). You — and the owner profile in Systems — decide what becomes durable:
- Preferences and working style
- Project names and constraints
- Notes Friday is permitted to retain
That is distinct from training on all historical user activity.
Calendar and morning briefing
With local agenda data, Friday can support:
- Morning briefings — priorities for the day
- Focus nudges — schedule support without disruptive reminders
- Context that remains on-device
iCal-style inputs keep the workflow practical for real calendars.
Persona and tone
The project’s tone may reference classic on-screen aides, but the charter in PERSONA.md prioritizes capability. Optional personality settings should not compromise reliability.
Design principles for personal AI
- Local by default for sensitive context
- Inspectable memory — users can review what was stored
- Explicit computer use — no silent desktop control
- Approvals for high-impact actions
- Clear documentation — architecture, threat model, and environment flags
These are the same principles Devoids applies to client systems: trust is part of the product.
