Okay, not the actual J.A.R.V.I.S made by Tony Stark, but a simplified version of it. Somewhere along my family tree are my more famous cousins Siri and Alexa.
As huge fan of the MCU, I drew inspiration from Tony Stark's arsenal of technology. While I may not have the ability to build a functional Iron Man suit (yet), it is within my skillset to build Jarvis, ableit an extremely simplified version. Unfortunately, I cannot change nuclear launch codes as seen in Avengers: Rise of Ultron.
It is designed to act as a voice assistant on your computer, capable of performing simple tasks. Current planned capabilities are found below in the ToDo section, but more may be added in the future.
- Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/henryxsong/Jarvis.git
-
Navigate to the root directory of the repo
-
Create a new virtual environment
python -m venv env
env/Scripts/activate
-
Generate relevant API keys:
- Weather (Free): https://openweathermap.org/price
- News (Free): https://newsapi.org/
-
Populate the virtual environment with personalized fields:
USER=YOUR_NAME_HERE
BOTNAME=JARVIS
WEATHER_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY_HERE
NEWS_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY_HERE
- Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Run program
python3 Jarvis.py
- Create speech engine
- Create listener to listen to user voice commands
- Perform simple information retrieval tasks (i.e. weather, time, location, etc)
- Perform non-intrusive tasks on local machine (i.e. open/close application)
- Expand database of phrases
- Expand compatibility with Windows
- Implement Docker (or create executable package)
- Implement a front-end interface (i.e. a synthesizer like hal in 2001: A space odyssey)
- Obtain the mind stone to make Jarvis sentient

ONLY COMPATIBLE ON MACOS.
Currently designed for and tested on MacOS (12.1) using Python3 (3.9.1).
This program, by default, will utilize your computer's microphone and will listen to audio picked up by your system's micophone. In the script that I have written, no part of the program stores/logs/sends recordings with one exception. Only the latest voice command will be stored in a variable as a string of text to be parsed and run, but once a new command is given, the old command will be overwritten. This utilizes the python packages pyttsx3 and speech_recognition, which to my knowledge, does not store/log data. Feel free to browse the source code to verify :)
Your IP address is utilized for determining your location. It is stored in a local variable when the program is running, and is used in API calls to obtain weather and location information, but no data is sent to the server.
