Welcome to the exciting world of Jarvis, a voice-commanding assistant crafted with Python that can recognize speech, engage in conversation, and execute basic commands. Ready to transform your Linux experience? Let’s dive in!

Requirements

• Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa)
• Python Version: 3.8.x

Getting Started

Follow these simple steps to set up Jarvis on your Ubuntu system.

Create Keys for Third-Party APIs

Jarvis uses several third-party APIs for various functionalities. To harness these features, you’ll need to sign up for free API keys:

• OpenWeatherMap – for weather forecasting
• WolframAlpha – to answer general questions
• IPSTACK – for current location details

Setup Jarvis in Ubuntu

# Step 1: Download the Jarvis repository
git clone https://github.com/ggeop/Jarvis.git --branch master

# Step 2: Change the working directory
cd Jarvis

# Step 3: Setup Jarvis and dependencies
bash setup.sh

Note: For a smoother experience, include your API keys in the settings.py file using:

nano Jarvis/src/jarvis/jarvis/setting.py

Start Jarvis!

Execute the following command to launch your voice-commanding assistant:

bash run_jarvis.sh

Adding New Skills to Jarvis

Enhancing Jarvis’s capabilities is easy. Just follow these two steps:

1. Create a new skill configuration in skillsregistry.py:

   
           enable: True, 
           func: Skills.new_skill,  
           tags: tag1, tag2,  
           description: skill description
           

2. Create a new skill module under skillscollection

Understanding Skill Extraction

Jarvis utilizes a decision model to analyze user input through a matrix of skills. Imagine Jarvis as a chef who has a pantry filled with ingredients (skills). By referencing the ingredients, he determines which recipe best fits what you just requested (user input). This is achieved using a technique called TF-IDF (term frequency-inverse document frequency), which identifies the similarity between user requests and available skills.

Troubleshooting Tips

• If Jarvis isn’t responding, double-check your microphone settings and ensure it’s properly configured.
• For API-related issues, verify that your keys are correctly inserted in the settings file.
• Remember to follow the guidelines in your terminal or command prompt as an incorrect command may lead to errors.
• If the assistance does not launch, ensure that you’ve installed all dependencies properly. Running bash setup.sh a second time may resolve missed installations.
