Welcome to the world of voice assistants! Inspired by JARVIS from the Iron Man movies, this guide will walk you through how to create your own assistant that can automate your daily tasks on your personal computer or laptop. While it might not be as intelligent as the movie version, our JARVIS can do a lot of cool things!

Features of JARVIS

This voice assistant can perform various tasks, including:

• Greet the user
• Tell the current time and date
• Launch applications and software
• Open any website
• Provide weather updates for any city
• Open location maps with distance
• Report system status (RAM usage, CPU usage)
• Display upcoming Google Calendar events
• Fetch information about a person from Wikipedia
• Conduct Google searches
• Play songs from YouTube
• Provide news headlines from Times of India
• Send emails
• Calculate mathematical expressions
• Answer generic questions
• Take notes
• Tell jokes
• Reveal your IP address
• Switch windows
• Take screenshots and save them
• Hide and reveal files in a folder
• Feature a graphical user interface

Installation Guide

To set up your voice assistant, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository.
2. Create a config.py file with the following content:

weather_api_key = your_api_key
email = your_email
email_password = your_email_password
wolframalpha_id = your_wolframalpha_id

3. Place the config.py file in the Jarvis/config folder.
4. Set up a Python environment:
• If using Anaconda, execute: conda create -n jarvis python==3.8.5 in the Anaconda prompt.
• Activate the environment with conda activate jarvis.
• Navigate to your project directory and install the requirements using pip install -r requirements.txt.
• Install PyAudio from the wheel file by following the instructions here.
• Run the program using python main.py.
• Enjoy your new voice assistant!

Understanding the Code Structure

The code structure of JARVIS is organized into folders, making it modular and customizable:

• driver – Main folder for features
• config – For secret API keys
• features – Contains all JARVIS functionalities
• utils – Holds GUI images
• __init__.py – Definitions of function features
• gui.ui – GUI file in .ui format
• main.py – The main driver program
• requirements.txt – Lists all dependencies

Think of the code structure as a well-organized toolbox. Each compartment holds essential tools (functions) for various tasks (features), preventing chaos and ensuring easy access whenever you want to add or modify a feature.

Troubleshooting

While everything should work smoothly, you may encounter some issues. Here are a few troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure you have valid API keys placed in the config.py file.
• Verify that you are using the correct Python version (3.8.5) and that all dependencies are properly installed.
• If you encounter issues with PyAudio, follow the instructions linked above carefully.
• Inspect the terminal for error messages, which can guide you to the source of the problem.
