What it is

Jarvis is a fully offline, privacy-respecting voice assistant built in Rust using Tauri for the desktop GUI. It combines speech-to-text (Vosk), wake-word detection (Rustpotter/Porcupine), and audio processing (noise suppression via nnnoiseless, VAD via energy detection) into a single local application that never sends data to the cloud. Monorepo with 4 crates: jarvis-core contains audio I/O, processing pipelines (gain normalization, VAD, noise suppression), commands, config, and database logic; jarvis-app is the Tauri desktop frontend (Svelte + SCSS UI); jarvis-cli wraps core for command-line use; jarvis-gui (in workspace but file list incomplete). Audio pipeline is pluggable with…

Start here

Open these first:

• crates/jarvis-core/src/lib.rs — Core library entry point exporting all major modules; foundational for understanding the entire voice assistant pipeline.
• crates/jarvis-core/src/listener.rs — Wake word detection abstraction supporting Porcupine, Rustpotter, and Vosk; critical for triggering the assistant.
• crates/jarvis-core/src/stt.rs — Speech-to-text abstraction currently using Vosk; essential for converting audio input to text commands.
• crates/jarvis-core/src/lua/engine.rs — Lua script execution engine for command handling and extensibility; core automation framework.
• crates/jarvis-core/src/audio.rs — Audio playback abstraction with Kira and Rodio backends; handles system audio output for responses.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/Priler/jarvis.git
cd jarvis
# Install Rust (https://rustup.rs/)
# Install Node.js (required for Tauri frontend build)
cargo tauri dev
# Or build release:
cargo tauri build

Daily commands:

Development: cargo tauri dev (runs Vite dev server + Tauri window). Production build: cargo tauri build (outputs platform-specific binary in src-tauri/target/release/). Makefile.toml in crates/jarvis-app/ likely…

…shortened for this brief.

Key cautions & unknowns

• Single-maintainer risk — top contributor 92% of recent commits
• Porcupine API key: Wake-word detection via Porcupine requires a free or paid AccessKey from Picovoice — must be configured in settings or env var. Platform-specific audio libraries: PvRecorder and Vosk may…
• License evidence is incomplete or ambiguous.
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
