- 30 minutes each Friday for the first 2 weeks.
- 1 change, to the Business Brain or the job description.
- Send rights after 2 clean Fridays; 0 solo sends in week one.
What do you read on the Friday check in?
You read the Friday log: counts per bucket, drafts approved against drafts edited, threads handed off, and one change for the week ahead. That is the log for the Email Triage job, and the drift log sits beside it.
How long does the Friday check in take?
The Friday check in takes 30 minutes each Friday for the first two weeks. Once the log runs clean it drops to about 15 minutes, so what are you spending on the same inbox now?
What is the one change, and what number marks a clean Friday?
Each Friday you make one change, to the Business Brain or the job description, and send rights come only after two clean Fridays.
| Friday | Time | What you do | Sends |
|---|---|---|---|
| Week one | 30 minutes | Read the log, make one change | 0 on its own |
| Week two | 30 minutes | Read the log, make one change | After 2 clean Fridays, your choice |

How is the Friday check in different from an agent review meeting?
An agent review meeting is an engineering team's session; the Friday check in is one owner reading one AI employee's log. Agnost AI (18 July 2026) suggests 45 minutes on 20 to 50 conversations a week, as author guidance; the check in reads one job, the core of what an AI employee is, beginning with which AI employee to install first.
Questions people ask about the Friday check in?
Do I run the Friday check in forever?
Yes, but it shortens: 30 minutes for two weeks, about 15 once the log runs clean, and 30 again after any Friday that touched money or a customer.
What if the AI employee got something wrong?
It costs one line in the Friday log, not a sent message.
Is the Friday check in the same as the drift log?
No. The check in reads the week's work; the drift log records where work left its job.
