Private preview
Friday is your always-on agent. It absorbs the recurring load — triage, digests, follow-ups, monitoring — and costs nothing while it sleeps. You summon outcomes; you own no infrastructure.

Lane, model, venue, price — per task, as it happens. The meter is the product, not plumbing. When something costs $0.0004, Friday can tell you exactly why.
Why $0.0009: routed to a fast model on the batch lane — the quality floor for repo summaries clears at 98.2% there, so the frontier lane was never considered. Prefix 62% cached at 0.1× input price.
Agent work is bursty, mostly idle, and mostly deferrable. Friday runs on serverless substrate and schedules the fleet's work across a price book of venues — so the expensive lane is the exception, never the default.

EVERY DISPATCH DECISION IS REPLAYABLE · PRICE-BOOK VERSIONED
A genuinely free always-on agent — possible because an idle Friday costs us approximately nothing. Paid tiers buy latency and frontier models, not permission to exist.
