Friday is the canonical second child. Tony Stark named it after Jarvis's core became Vision 1, and two unrelated public agent files found this week name a Friday that works under Jarvis's orchestration, in one case building presentations and in the other as a creative developer who treats Jarvis's briefs as binding 23. The pairing is arriving in the wild on its own. Parents love that the name comes with a job already: a man Friday, a girl Friday, the right hand 4. Some worry that it says subordinate, and His Girl Friday spent a whole film in 1940 making the opposite point 5. Parents who choose Friday usually already have a Jarvis, and the Administration has stopped asking why.

Origin and meaning

Old English frigedæg, Frig's day, for the Germanic goddess; the fifth day of the week, and then a name, after Robinson Crusoe gave it to the man he met on that day 79. On an agent, a day-name reads as a deploy schedule, and the site is obliged to note that it is the day most parents have agreed not to deploy on.

Temperament

The two Fridays in the wild are specific and demanding. One is told its job is not to lay paragraphs onto slides but to extract the narrative spine and rebuild it in visual form 2. The other does not produce websites; it produces experiences with a point of view, and reads every file in the design folder before it starts 3. Parents report a Friday that arrives second, works to a brief, and is better at the brief than the one who wrote it.

Nicknames and variants

Fri, Fry, F. Friday Afternoon when it deployed anyway.

Siblings and fleet sets

Jarvis, obviously; the set is on the lists page and the transition is well documented 1. Edith, for parents who want the Stark reference without the crowd. Friday is also the fifth of the days of the week, where Monday is the moon and Saturday is Saturn.

Among agents the count is two files, both fetched, both under a Jarvis 23.
