About Secretary AI
Friday decides who gets through-an AI call screener that answers first, announces the caller, and transfers only the calls you want.
Story
Secretary AI began as a simple way to surface important emails by text. Customers loved the nudge-but told us the biggest distraction was the phone. Spam, vague sales calls, and constant context switching were wrecking focus. We listened and pivoted.
Today, Friday screens calls on your behalf. Share your Friday number and she’ll decide who gets through. The email texting feature remains-now as a complement to your call flow.
Approach
Friday is “decision‑first” automation. She answers calls, asks for a name and reason, checks your allow/block rules, and then decides whether to connect you. Choose cold transfer so your phone shows the caller’s number. Keep the setup simple and the controls obvious-so you can stay off the hamster wheel of interruptions.
How Friday screens a call
- 1) Claim your screening number. Share it with people you want screened.
- 2) Set simple rules. Always allow customers; always block spam or political donations.
- 3) Friday answers first. She announces the caller and collects a brief reason.
- 4) Friday decides. If it matches your criteria, she transfers; otherwise, she keeps it off your phone.
Values
Privacy‑first
Screening is opt‑in and under your control. Friday only handles calls to your screening number and gives you clear, simple controls.
- Lock or change your screening number with one click
- Choose transfer style (cold transfer shows the caller’s number)
Accuracy & quality
Friday combines your allow/block rules with AI reasoning and safe defaults. The goal is simple: the right calls ring, the rest don’t.
- Always‑allow lists (e.g., “customers”, “family”)
- Always‑block lists (e.g., “spam”, “political donations”)
Simplicity & control
Setup takes minutes. Share your Friday number and forget it-she decides for you, but you can override any time.
- Chip‑based rules instead of complex workflows
- Cold transfer preserves the caller’s number on your phone
