Get started
Install the Chrome extension
Friday Operator is the same Friday — same scanner, same actions, same memory — but loaded as a browser extension instead of by the site you're visiting. It lets you bring Friday to any site, even ones that don't have her installed.
What you get
- Per-domain workspaces. Friday keeps a separate context for every site you visit. Chatting on amazon.com doesn't leak into your shopify-admin.com workspace.
- Operator mode. Friday is allowed to take actions on the page she scanned, just like the embed.
- Default mode. Stays passive until you open the launcher — no auto-scanning of every tab.
Install (load-unpacked)
The extension is not on the Chrome Web Store yet. Until then, load it unpacked from the build folder:
- Clone
friday-widgetand runpnpm install && pnpm --filter @friday/extension build. - In Chrome go to
chrome://extensions. - Toggle Developer mode on (top right).
- Click Load unpacked, point at
apps/extension/dist. - Pin the Friday icon to your toolbar.
First-run setup
- Click the Friday icon. A popup asks you to sign in.
- Sign in with the same email you use at friday.starkspherelabs.com.
- On any site you visit, click the icon → Open Friday here. The first time, Friday creates a workspace scoped to that domain.
Operator mode vs default mode
- Default mode — Friday only loads when you open her. She doesn't scan the page, doesn't take actions. Safe for sensitive tabs (your bank, etc.).
- Operator mode — once enabled for a domain, Friday runs the scanner and the actions runtime. She can click, type, navigate — subject to your action policy.
Operator mode is per-domain and you toggle it explicitly. Friday doesn't go into operator mode unprompted.
Privacy note
The extension requests
<all_urls> permission because operator mode needs to inject the scanner into whichever site you turn it on for. Until you turn operator mode on for a domain, Friday isn't reading anything on it.See the Privacy Policy for full details on what gets sent where.
