Why isn't Tony Stark's F.R.I.D.A.Y available offline?
In Avengers: Infinity War, it is observed that
after following Dr. Strange being abducted by Ebony Maw into a spaceship, Tony Stark receives a phone call from Pepper Potts which loses connectivity after a few seconds of talking and his virtual assistant goes offline too. Now, I am assuming this is because of the increasing distance from earth.
Why couldn't/didn't Stark fit the virtual assistant mechanism into his already impressive nanotech powered suit? In universe answers would be appreciated.
Best Answer
My personal opinion, an A.I. assistant like FRIDAY probably requires a lot of processing power to run. I would rather have that running on a server remotely than on my local "device" because it frees up the power of my "device" to do other things. Also in case I took a rocket or whatever to just the right spot of my suit, then suddenly FRIDAY is out of commission. Stark didn't plan that he'd end up on a space ship destined for another planet so having FRIDAY running remotely presented lower risk of failure to the system in most scenarios.
And I have to throw in the out of universe explanation as well. Its a plot device and one that isn't that far fetched from our real world experience, so it fits in logically with the story.

Did Jarvis replace Friday?
JARVIS was replaced by FRIDAY, who was with Tony from Ultron forward. Whereas JARVIS had stood for Just a Rather Very Intelligent System, FRIDAY stood for Female Replacement Intelligent Digital Assistant Youth, according to Fandom. Another assistant created by Tony, KAREN, showed up in Spider-Man's suits.Why isn't it possible? ( Blockman Go SkyBlock animation )
