Jarvis: Personal Assistant in Python

This is a small python script that uses Google Text To Speech API to identify what you say, and if it is one of three questions ("how are you", "what time is it", "where is") it gives canned responses. This is along the lines of the beginnings of very simple expert system, and seems like a fairly cool project to give someone when they are learning to program. This isn't exactly what I expected from a personal assistant called Jarvis, however.

Damn. And I was going to run it on my Ironman platform.

Jasper is another cool project that has a bit better of a foundation. You can make little Python modules for pretty much anything.

For more advanced workflows, you can use Huginn for Ruby:

or Node-RED for JavaScript (this one is backed by IBM and has a neat drag and drop UI)

I think once the voice processing is done, the hard part is getting it to actually do something useful.

anyone get it working on a macbook?

go to cache, copy cache

  $ mkdir jarvis; cd jarvis
  $ vi jarvis.py

paste, then cleanup and read closely for badness

  $ chmod +x jarvis.py
  $ brew doctor
  $ brew update
  $ brew install python3
  $ pip  install --upgrade pip
  $ pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools
  $ pip3 install --upgrade gTTS
  $ pip  install --upgrade gTTS
  $ brew install portaudio
  $ pip3 install pyaudio
  $ pip  install SpeechRecognition
  $ brew install flac
  $ brew install mpg321

  $ ./jarvis.py 
  Hi Mike, what can I do for you?

I used the cached script and after installing the various Python libs as it complained got it working. A neat little kit. Now I need to make it always running and listening for my command. "Jarvis?" "yes, sir?" "Jarvis, <commands>" To have it awaken and process follow on commands.

Only process when the double Jarvis exchange has occurred. And then keep on processing, waiting for more leading "Jarvis, <command>"

Putting this onto a RaspberryPi would be cool. Could even train it verbally. "Jarvis, 'let's try something new'"

This is such a cool little simple toy with great potential.

Here's a link to the general project: http://madlag.github.io/jarvis/

///edit: hmmm this might be a different project. Yay for namespace collisions...

I think this is the actual personal assistant project: https://github.com/ajminich/Jarvis

The jarvis github page talks about an IDE like debugging tool though, not a personal assistant.

That one says it's python...

Those ones are other programs. Server seems ddosed by silicon valley. Try the cached version
