How it works

Fact or hype: the short version

The promise

Verdict

What is really going on

It turns your computer into Jarvis

FACT

An Iron Man style screen boots, wakes on "Hey Jarvis" and talks back.

It is free

FACT

The project is free and open source (MIT). The brain runs on the Claude plan you already pay for. No API key, no extra bill.

Paste a link into Claude Code and it sets itself up

FACT

Claude Code installs and starts it. You need Node 20 or newer and Chrome or Edge.

You need an ElevenLabs voice key

OPTIONAL

Without a key it speaks in your browser's own voice. A key only makes the voice and hearing better.

It reads your calendar and inbox

FACT

When those apps are connected to Claude. It uses the connectors you already have.

It does things for you

NOT BY DEFAULT

It starts read-only. It will not send, book, tap or delete anything until you switch actions on.

That’s the first part. The rest of this guide is free too.
