🧠FRIDAY: Tony Stark's artificial intelligence after JARVIS
When we think of Iron Man, we of course think of his armor, his charisma... but also of the voice in his helmet .
While JARVIS is the most famous, he was replaced by FRIDAY , another equally brilliant, but very different AI.
🤖 Who is FRIDAY?
FRIDAY (acronym for Female Replacement Intelligent Digital Assistant Youth ) is an artificial intelligence created by Tony Stark to succeed JARVIS , after the latter merged to give birth to Vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron .
Friday first appears in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), where she takes over as Iron Man's pilot and assists Tony in his missions.
She has an Irish female voice , much softer and more composed than JARVIS, but still just as effective.
🧩 Why did Tony Stark create FRIDAY?
After losing JARVIS, Tony needed:
-
From a new reliable AI for his armors,
-
From tactical support for its missions,
-
A soothing emotional connection in a context of extreme stress (Ultron, Civil War, etc.)
FRIDAY is therefore designed to be more intuitive, calmer , and above all 100% focused on Tony's strategic support .

FRIDAY appears in several key films:
-
