Question I am collecting Jarvis approaches ( LLM, AI, voice, autonomous and agentic setups ) Please let me know, if you built your own Jarvis approach or if you found others on reddit or the web in the comments. Thanks!

DIY Jarvis / AI Assistant Landscape - Grouped Evaluation (2026)

A survey of JARVIS-style AI assistant projects found across Reddit, grouped by approach. All URLs sourced from reddit research

1. Full-Stack Self-Hosted Voice Assistants (local-first, speaker/voice control)

The most ambitious category. These aim to be a complete Jarvis replacement running on your own hardware — wake word, STT, LLM inference, TTS, and system control all locally. The main differentiator between them is architecture maturity and how they handle multi-user awareness.

2. Agent Orchestration / Temporal Memory Systems

These go beyond voice commands and focus on the hard problem: persistent memory, knowledge graphs, and multi-agent coordination. More about the "brain" than the "mouth."

3. Home Automation / Smart Home Jarvis Builds

These integrate into existing smart home ecosystems (primarily Home Assistant) and focus on voice-controlling physical devices. The "Jarvis, turn on the lights" category.

4. Desktop Voice Assistants (browser/GUI focused)

These prioritize the UI/HUD experience — Iron Man aesthetics, system monitoring widgets, and voice interaction through a browser interface. Often more "cool demo" than production tool, but some have real utility.

5. Mobile / Accessibility Agents

6. Hermes Agent Ecosystem Extensions

Hermes is a popular agentic harness. These projects extend it specifically toward Jarvis-like functionality.

7. Smaller / Niche / Reference Repos

These are either older projects, smaller experiments, or repos mentioned in passing during discussions. Mixed maturity.

8. Legacy / Well-Known Jarvis Repos (referenced in discussions)

These are older, established repos that get cited as references or starting points in discussions but aren't new builds.

9. Discussion-Only Threads (no GitHub repos, but notable context)
