Jarvis : Voice Assitant

Overview

Jarvis is an AI system Zuckerberg has built to control his home and perform basic tasks, such as turning the lights off or on, control a particular room’s temperature, playing music, opening doors, and so on. The home AI uses natural language processing and speech recognition to understand the user’s voice, and the context of the command, in order to perform the tasks it is asked to do. It also has facial recognition capabilities and, therefore, can open doors of the home for known guests, or tell Zuckerberg where each member of the family is, whether Max is asleep or playing around, and so on.

Problem

Nowadays, people have smartphones with them all the time. So it makes sense to use these to control home appliances. Presented here is a home automation system using a simple Android app which you can use to control electrical appliances with voice commands. Using the app you can control all the appliances like TV, fans, light etc.

Solution

The project aims to develop a personal-assistant for Linux-based systems. Jarvis draws its inspiration from virtual assistants like Cortana for Windows, and Siri for iOS. It has been designed to provide a user-friendly interface for carrying out a variety of tasks by employing certain well-defined commands. Users can interact with the assistant either through voice commands or using keyboard input.
