Personal Jarvis is an open-source AI ecosystem that runs on your own computer. At its center is Jarvis, a voice orchestrator that connects a conversation to agents, coding sessions, desktop actions, and the services you choose to connect. Speak naturally or type a message: Jarvis can answer, use a tool, or delegate work while you follow the conversation and inspect what happens. The desktop app brings those conversations, your team, and their results into one workspace on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

The workspace extends beyond the conversation. Build persistent specialists with their own instructions and recurring routines. Use Jarvis Voice to dictate into other apps. Connect plugins, skills, and MCP servers, work alongside coding CLIs, keep knowledge in a local Markdown wiki, and open generated reports, pages, and files in Artifacts. These are connected parts of the same application: a request can start with your voice, continue with an agent, and leave behind something you can read, use, or edit.

Choose the models and services that fit your work. Jarvis supports hosted providers, local models, and mixed setups. Your selected provider supplies the intelligence; Jarvis manages application state, tool access, approvals, and execution. Local speech and model options can keep supported work on your hardware. Cloud models and connected services receive the content needed for their requests; running the app locally does not make every integration offline. See privacy and local data and how the system fits together.

Install

Windows — PowerShell

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PersonalJarvis/PersonalJarvis/main/install/install.ps1 | iex

macOS and Linux

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PersonalJarvis/PersonalJarvis/main/install/install.sh | bash

The installer checks Python 3.11+ and Git, offers to install missing prerequisites through the host package manager, installs the applicable desktop components, registers the desktop launcher, and opens the app. Language, wake phrase, and provider setup happen in the app. OS permissions and hardware capabilities affect voice and desktop control. Re-running the installer updates an existing installation.

Personal Jarvis is free and open source. Hosted models, coding subscriptions, and optional services are billed by their respective providers. Supported local models do not require a cloud model account.

Full installation, platform requirements, and uninstall instructions.

Jarvis: your voice orchestrator

Start a Voice Chat, tap the voice bar, or use your configured wake phrase. Your speech and Jarvis's replies appear in the conversation. Start a normal Chat when you prefer a keyboard.

Jarvis brings the workspace into reach: ask an agent to research a topic, work with a coding session, find something in memory, or use a connected tool. Available actions depend on your providers, installed tools, and permissions. Computer use needs a desktop and the required OS permissions.

Choose your voice and model access in the app. The voice path can use realtime audio or a speech-recognition, model, and speech-output pipeline. Your selected provider determines the available capabilities; execution and approvals remain under Jarvis's control.

Your first steps in the desktop app

1. Open Personal Jarvis. The installer opens the desktop app for you. Later, find Personal Jarvis in Windows Search, macOS Spotlight, or the Linux application menu. You do not need to keep a terminal open.
2. Complete the in-app setup. Choose your language, review device permissions, and choose a wake phrase or a keyboard shortcut. The assistant name follows your chosen phrase: Hey George is the example above, not a required name.
3. Connect model access. Open API Keys & Providers to connect and test a supported provider, or configure a local model. Chat needs a ready model; voice additionally needs a working realtime connection or speech pipeline.
4. Start a conversation. Use New chat to choose Chat or Voice Chat. For voice, wait for readiness and use your wake phrase, shortcut, or the voice bar. Try: "Help me plan a small project. Ask me what you need to know."
5. Build out your workspace. Add a specialist under Agents, connect a service in Plugins / Skills / MCP, or open Jarvis Voice for dictation. Find generated files in Artifacts and recurring work under Scheduled.

The sidebar keeps these areas within reach. More opens additional views, including knowledge, coding tools, settings, and help. Voice Chat is a conversation with Jarvis; Jarvis Voice is speech-to-text for the app you are already using.

<details> <summary>Manual installation and headless use</summary>

git clone https://github.com/PersonalJarvis/PersonalJarvis.git
cd PersonalJarvis
python -m venv .venv

Activate with .\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 on Windows or source .venv/bin/activate on macOS/Linux, then run:

pip install -e ".[full]"
jarvis          # Desktop app
jarvis serve    # Headless API and browser UI

For a minimal server installation, use pip install personal-jarvis and jarvis serve. Open the local address reported at startup; the default is http://localhost:47821. Remote browser microphone access requires HTTPS. See the headless deployment guide.

Jarvis Agents

Build a team you can return to. Each agent has an identity, a direct conversation, standing instructions, and access to the tools you grant it. Pick a connected model or supported agent account for the work, and keep the conversations in one workspace.

<br /> <p align="center"> <a href="https://github.com/PersonalJarvis/PersonalJarvis/blob/main/assets/demo/readme-2026-09/jarvis-agents-v4.mp4"> <img src="https://github.com/PersonalJarvis/PersonalJarvis/raw/main/assets/demo/readme-2026-09/jarvis-agents-v4.gif" alt="Agents workspace recreation: send a brief, watch the live thinking trace, then read the streaming reply and completed plan" width="1000" /> </a> </p> <p align="center"> _{An illustrative agent conversation, from brief to draft. The GIF plays once and holds the reply; click to replay the video.} </p> <br />

• Talk directly to a specialist. Select an agent from the roster and continue its chat.
• Give it a standing brief. Configure its instructions, model access, and tools.
• Set up recurring work. Per-agent routines expose instructions, scheduling, and execution history.
• Inspect its work. Read messages and tool activity, and open produced files in Artifacts.
• Explore the world view. The workspace also has a visual map of the team.

Persistent agents and isolated coding missions have different lifecycles. Coding missions can use worktree isolation and critic review; an ordinary agent chat is not a new isolated worktree on every message.

Jarvis Voice Dictation

Speak into the app you already use. Hold your dictation shortcut or toggle hands-free recording, then insert the transcript into the focused text field. Dictation is speech-to-text; Voice Chat is a conversation with Jarvis.

The Jarvis Voice section brings together dictation history, your dictionary, shortcuts, language settings, and speech-provider setup. Optional cleanup improves the transcript, translation writes into a selected language, and Prompt Mode can turn a dictation into a structured prompt. Review and recover entries in history when you need to revisit a transcript.

Choose local speech recognition to process audio on your machine. Provider-backed cleanup or translation can still send text to the configured provider.
