PHENOMVALENCE/JARVIS-OS

Local-first voice assistant for Windows. Wake word, speech, and language model all run on your machine. English and Kiswahili. No API key required. # J.A.R.V.I.S **A voice-first operating layer for Windows that runs on your own machine.** Say *"Hey Jarvis, what's the weather today"* and it answers out loud in about four seconds. Say *"Jarvis, open Notepad"* and it opens, with a chime instead of a sentence. It reads your screen, finds your files, controls your windows, sets reminders, and answers questions from live sources — with the language model, the speech recognition, and the voice all running locally. It works in English and Kiswahili. --- ## What runs where The assistant is usable with no accounts, no API keys, and no internet connection beyond what individual answers need. | | Runs locally | Needs the network | Needs a paid key | |---|---|---|---| | Wake word, speech recognition, offline voice | ✅ | | | | Language model (Ollama) | ✅ | | | | Screen reading (Windows OCR) | ✅ | | | | File search, window control, reminders | ✅ | | | | Weather, encyclopedic answers | | ✅ free | | | Online neural voice | | ✅ free | | | Current-events search | | | optional | | Cloud vision, cloud reasoning | | | optional | Privacy mode blocks screen capture and every cloud path, and is authoritative over anything that would leave the machine. ## Installing **For users** — download the installer from Releases, run it, and the first launch walks through microphone, voice, wake word, and startup.
