She remembers, so you don't have to

Mrs. Lee only takes the 9:00. Dom doesn't do color corrections. The walk-in cooler gets serviced in April. Friday keeps the things a good front desk person knows after five years.

Thursday, 3:12 pm

Hi it's Joan Lee, can I get my usual?

Friday

Hi Mrs. Lee! Tuesday at 9:00 with Ana, wash and set? That's the first slot open.

Perfect. You're a doll.

Friday

You're booked. I'll have Ana's chair ready and the coffee black.

Nobody told Friday about the coffee that day. She was told once, in March, and she kept it.

The difference between a chat log and a memory

Most software forgets you the moment the conversation ends. Next time, it starts from zero: who are you, what do you want, have you been here before.

Friday has a real memory. It works more like a person's than like a database: she keeps what matters, connects it to what she already knows, and brings it up at the moment it's useful.

You don't fill in a profile

There's no settings page to keep up to date. You tell Friday things the way you'd tell a new hire, in passing, by text:

"Heads up, Dom's not doing color anymore."

That's it. From then on, Friday doesn't book color with Dom.

And she forgets when you ask

Tell Friday to forget something and she will. Your business's memory belongs to your business.
