πŸ€– Building a Personal AI Assistant in Python – Jarvis

Hey devs πŸ‘‹

I’ve been working on a personal AI assistant called Jarvis, built entirely in Python, as a learning-focused side project.

The idea was to understand how real-world assistants work β€” from voice input, intent handling, to system automation β€” while keeping the architecture clean and extensible.

🚧 This project is still under active development.

✨ What Jarvis Can Do

πŸ—£οΈ Voice-based interaction (Speech Recognition + Text-to-Speech)

πŸ’¬ Text input via a simple GUI (Tkinter)

🎯 Wake-word activation (Jarvis)

πŸ” Continuous conversation mode (no repeated wake word)

🧠 Rule-based intent detection with LLM fallback

βš™οΈ Basic system & browser automation

πŸ” Secure API key handling using environment variables

🧱 Modular and beginner-friendly code structure

πŸ› οΈ Tech Stack

Python 3

SpeechRecognition

pyttsx3

Tkinter

OpenAI / Gemini (optional)

Git & GitHub

πŸ“‚ Project Structure (Simplified)
jarvis/
β”œβ”€β”€ main.py
β”œβ”€β”€ voice.py
β”œβ”€β”€ intent.py
β”œβ”€β”€ automation.py
β”œβ”€β”€ llm.py
β”œβ”€β”€ gui.py
β”œβ”€β”€ config.py
└── data/

Each module has a single responsibility, which makes the project easy to extend and refactor.

⚠️ Current Limitations

No long-term memory yet

Intent detection is mostly rule-based

Limited built-in skills

Automation is Windows-focused for now

πŸ—ΊοΈ What I’m Planning Next

Persistent memory (JSON / SQLite)

Plugin-based skill system

Better intent classification

Offline command support

Packaging as an executable (.exe)

⭐ If you find this project interesting or useful, please consider giving it a star β€” it really motivates me to keep improving it!

🀝 Feedback Welcome

This is a learning project, and I’d love feedback from the community on:

Architecture improvements

Better ways to handle intent detection

Features you’d expect from a personal assistant

Thanks for reading! πŸ™Œ
Happy coding πŸš€
