This guide gets Friday Studio running locally and walks you through loading a starter space, triggering a job, and watching an agentic workflow execute end to end. You define a space in a workspace.yml, load it into the Studio, and trigger a signal. Friday takes it from there.
Before you begin, you’ll need:

​
Step 1: Download Friday Studio

Download Friday Studio from hellofriday.ai. Once downloaded, open the installer and follow the instructions.
1

Accept the Licensing Agreement

Read through the agreement, scroll to the bottom, and hit Accept and Continue.
2

Provide an API Key

We recommend using an Anthropic API key for now.
3

Download Friday

Friday will kick off download and setup of tools. This should take less than 3 minutes end to end.

​
Step 2: Load a starter space

A space is a workspace.yml file that defines a complete agentic workflow — agents, jobs, signals, and configuration all in one file. Everything the Studio shows you is powered by this single file. Your Friday distribution comes with starter spaces you can try right away.
1

Open the Studio

The Studio will automatically open in a web browser.
2

Select a workspace

Go to Discover Spaces, select a space, and hit Add Space.
3

Follow the README.md instructions

Each workspace has a short set of instructions to ensure the workflow is customized to your needs. Read through and follow the steps to set up.
4

Explore the dashboard

The space loads and you’re taken to its dashboard. Here you can see recent runs, configured jobs, signals, and agents — all driven by that single workspace.yml.
5

Test the space

Once you’ve followed the configuration instructions in the README, engage with your space under Chat for your workspace.

​
Step 3: Create your own space

To create additional spaces from scratch, go to Personal > Chat. You can chat with Friday and ask it to create a space that works for you. Just describe what you’d like it to do, and Friday will spin up a space.
