isair/jarvis

A private, local-first AI assistant with voice and text chat.

Talk naturally, as if Jarvis were a third person in the room.

Voice-first · Local AI · Personal memory · No subscription

Jarvis is built to be part of the conversation. Talk through an idea, discuss plans with a friend, then ask “Jarvis, what do you think?” While listening, it keeps a short, temporary rolling transcript of nearby speech so it can join an ongoing conversation using what was just discussed.

Address Jarvis by name anywhere in a sentence and follow up naturally. Speech recognition, language models and speech synthesis run on hardware you control.

Your diary and knowledge graph stay on your computer. Speech and chat models run locally when you use a local model server. Sensitive information is redacted before reaching model context or the saved diary. Web search, weather and connected tools use the network for those requests.

A voice, a face, and a place in the conversation.

1. Download the app. Choose your platform from GitHub Releases.

2. Choose your local models. The setup wizard guides you through speech recognition and a model server. Use Ollama, or connect an OpenAI-compatible server you already run, such as LM Studio, oMLX or llama.cpp.

3. Make it yours. Allow microphone access and let the first model downloads finish. When Jarvis reports that it is listening, try:

“Jarvis, help me think through my day.”

Right-click the face or use the tray menu to open Chat. Text replies are silent.
