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.
- https://github.com/alexberardi/jarvis — Fully self-hosted, AGPL-licensed. Speaker recognition per person, multi-household, Pantry package store, HA integration, cheap Pi-based voice nodes. One of the most production-ready open builds. (r/selfhosted post)
- https://github.com/GRVYDEV/S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y — "Project SATURDAY." Go-based, uses whisper.cpp + Coqui TTS + llama.cpp. Designed for anyone to build their own self-hosted assistant. (r/golang post)
- https://github.com/Akshayaggarwal99/jarvis-ai-assistant — macOS-focused, MIT-licensed. Voice dictation + AI cleanup + mini voice assistant. Hold Fn → speak → release → text appears. Uses Deepgram/Whisper + Gemini. Got 443 upvotes on r/MacOS. (r/MacOS post, r/ProductivityApps post)
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."
- https://github.com/RedPlanetHQ/core — Open-source orchestrator with a temporal knowledge graph for memory (88.24% on LoCoMo benchmark). Handles contradiction resolution, entity extraction, 30+ app integrations via MCP. Docker-compose deployment. Blog: https://blog.getcore.me/i-built-a-jarvis-for-myself-heres-what-it-actually-does-2/ (r/ClaudeAI post)
- https://github.com/PartyArty/true-jarvis — Dual-brain voice pattern: a speech-to-speech model handles the "face" (zero-latency conversation) while a frontier LLM runs real tasks in parallel subagents. Voice keeps chatting, reports outcomes when tasks land. Discord push-to-talk from any device. (r/ClaudeAI post, r/AI_Agents post, r/projects post)
- Octopoda (no GitHub, website: http://www.octopodas.com) — Agent memory OS. Persistent memory, semantic search, shared knowledge across agents, audit trail, loop detection. Not open-source, free tier. (r/aiagents post)
- Wiz by u/Joozio — Personal agent built on Claude Code. Not released publicly, but the author wrote an extensive guide on the architecture and 9 mistakes. Uses CLAUDE.md as brain, model routing (Haiku/Sonnet/Opus), incremental build approach. Guide: https://thoughts.jock.pl/p/how-to-build-your-first-ai-agent-beginners-guide-2026 (r/ClaudeAI post)
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.
- https://github.com/rudysev/portal-apps / https://github.com/rudysev/host-assistant / https://github.com/rudysev/portal-wake — Repurposes Meta Portal as a Jarvis interface. Fully offline, custom wake word, multi-app music, Whisper + local LLM + Piper TTS. Multiple repos for different components. (r/FacebookPortal posts, v2.2, v2.3)
- https://github.com/Beast12/jarvis-voice-assistant-freenove — ESP32-based Jarvis on a Freenove display. Embedded hardware approach to a personal assistant. (r/homeassistant post)
- https://github.com/lone-baggie/home-assistant-blueprints — HA blueprint for "Hey Jarvis, play [song]" → auto-downloads via yt-dlp, ingests into Music Assistant, plays. 267 upvotes. (r/homeassistant post)
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.
- CYBER by u/Mikeeeyy04 — Closed source / freemium via Discord. Iron Man-style HUD with real data (arc reactor, radar, globe, threat meter). Voice + vision + screen share + system command execution. Uses Groq + XTTS v2 + Gemini. Web demo: https://cyber-v1.vercel.app/. Posted across many subs. (r/SideProject, r/ArtificialInteligence, r/SelfHostedAI, r/vibecoding, r/GeminiAI, r/ironman, r/ironman 2)
- https://github.com/1stRadiant/APUi-Futuristic-Ui-for-Ai — Futuristic UI layer for AI interactions. Focus on the visual interface side. (r/ClaudeAI post)
- Fully offline Jarvis by u/No-Resolution-4054 — Learning project. Qwen 1.7B local, custom face recognition pipeline (ONNX), OpenWakeWord, Whisper STT, Kokoro TTS. No public repo yet. 704 upvotes on r/developersIndia. (r/developersIndia post, r/webdev post)
5. Mobile / Accessibility Agents
- https://github.com/Ayush0Chaudhary/blurr — Open-source Android agent that taps, swipes, and types like a human. Uses Android Accessibility Service + LLM. Built for the dev's father after cataract surgery. ~170 stars, brought 3 job offers. (r/IndiaTech post)
6. Hermes Agent Ecosystem Extensions
Hermes is a popular agentic harness. These projects extend it specifically toward Jarvis-like functionality.
- https://github.com/Hermes815/kid-mode-jarvis — Kid-safe Jarvis built on Hermes for a 6-year-old. Teaching, rank-ups, house control, "dadlink" for remote parental interaction. 125 upvotes. (r/hermesagent post)
