Friday Studio runs AI workflows on your Mac. The fastest way to see it work is to import a ready-made space and trigger it. This guide takes you from zero to a running workflow in under 5 minutes.
You’ll need:
Friday is primarily tested and recommended with Anthropic/Claude. OpenAI, Gemini, and Groq models are also supported as beta.

​
Install Friday Studio

Download and install Friday Studio from hellofriday.ai.
1

Open the installer

Run the .dmg, drag Friday Studio to your Applications folder, and launch it.
2

Accept the license agreement

Read through, scroll to the bottom, and hit Accept and Continue.
3

Enter your API key

Paste your Anthropic API key when prompted. This is the recommended starting point. OpenAI, Gemini, and Groq are also supported in beta and can be configured at the same time.
4

Wait for setup to complete

Friday downloads and configures its services, which takes about 3 minutes. The Studio opens in your browser at http://localhost:15200 when it’s ready.
5

Run your first workflow

In the left sidebar, click Discover Spaces. Import any starter space. Inbox Zero or GitHub Digest are the fastest to get running. Once imported, open the space, connect the required tools, and hit Run, or send a message in the chat panel to trigger it.

Next: Spaces

Spaces are the core building block in Friday. Each one is a self-contained workspace with its own agents, jobs, signals, and memory. Learn how Spaces work →
