ThorOS 0.6 — your AI that looks things up and reminds you

ThorOS is an operating system built around a local AI assistant — "Jarvis" by default, rename it to anything. It drives your desktop, opens apps, writes documents, answers questions, and now does live web lookups and scheduled reminders. 100% local: no cloud, no account, no telemetry (the AI brain runs on your machine; it only reaches the internet for the specific thing you ask it to look up). Built on Debian 13.

✨ New in 0.6

Ask it anything current. Jarvis now reaches the internet for live facts and reads them back, summarized:

  • "What's the price of Bitcoin?" → price, recent trend, and the mood from the headlines
  • "What's the weather in Denver?" · "Any news on Tesla?"

Reminders & scheduled briefings. Tell it once and it remembers — and speaks up on its own:

  • "Remind me to call mom at 5pm."
  • "Meeting with mom tomorrow at 1pm — remind me an hour before."
  • "Give me the Bitcoin report every weekday at 9am." (a recurring spoken briefing)

It confirms when you set one, then speaks the reminder and pops a desktop notification when it fires. Manage by voice: "what do I have scheduled," "cancel the Bitcoin report."

Open any installed app by name. Say "open Calendar" — or any program you have installed — with no per-app setup.

Plus the first-boot Welcome window from 0.5 and every earlier reliability fix.

Install

  1. Write the ISO to an 8 GB+ USB stick with balenaEtcher or Rufus.
  2. Boot from it and choose Start installer (or Live system to try it first).
  3. On first boot the Welcome window shows progress while it sets up your GPU and downloads the local AI model (~5 GB, needs internet, ~10–20 min).
  4. Say your assistant's name (default "Jarvis") and start talking.

First things to try

  • "Jarvis, what's the price of Bitcoin?"
  • "Jarvis, remind me to stretch in one minute." (you'll hear it fire)
  • "Jarvis, the weather in every morning at 8."
  • "Jarvis, open Calculator." · "Jarvis, write a thank-you note."

Notes & requirements

  • 64-bit PC · 8 GB+ RAM (16 GB recommended) · ~25 GB disk · NVIDIA GPU auto-detected for speed (CPU works, slower).
  • Internet needed for first-boot setup and for live lookups; everything else runs offline.
  • Reminders/briefings fire while the assistant is running.
