I built Jarvis
I've wanted to build this since I was a kid watching Iron Man. Finally did it.
It's a desktop assistant that lives on your Mac. You say "hey jarvis", it wakes up, you talk to it, it talks back, and it can actually do things. Open apps, search the web, control Spotify, grab screenshots to your clipboard, tweak volume, remember preferences across sessions. The kind of stuff you'd normally alt-tab around to do.
The part I'm most proud of is the confirmation system. Before it does anything sensitive (right now that's mainly overwriting your clipboard; more destructive tools are next), it pauses and asks. You can confirm with your voice. Feels weirdly natural.
Built with Electron + React, GPT-4.1-mini for the brain, Whisper for voice-in, Edge Neural TTS for voice-out (British, sounds good; ElevenLabs optional), SQLite + local embeddings for memory.
It's early and rough in places. No calendar/files/shell tools yet, but it works. I use it daily now.

Would love to know what tools you'd want it to have next.
