Being a Tech nerd, I was always fascinated by 'Jarvis' in Iron man movie, ((J.A.R.V.I.S.) was Tony Stark's natural-language user interface computer system in Iron man movie, named after Edwin Jarvis, the butler who worked for Howard Stark) and wanted to do something similar.
We might have seen Alexa, Google Home ,Cortana and Siri , If we recollect the conversations with these chatbots or Virtual assistants, They always have the information that we ask for and respond back in the nicest way. However it can only understand and communicate generic conversations ( i.e. only the ones that you can search in internet). It has limitations when it comes to Individual requirements.
Lets say I wanted an assistant that can do my everyday job, As a Software developer if I wanted to Automate all my day to day activities (From Opening Applications with passwords , Connect to databases , Debugging issues, Send/search outlook emails , Indexing and fetching meeting notes ..etc and may be also pay my bills with voice instructions)
In short, building an work environment that can be totally controlled by virtual assistant.
Sounds interesting ..? Can we really do this , yes, we can. All we need to do is just connect the dots with different technologies.
Today we have all the tools and open source systems needed for this type of requirements , like RPA, Speech Recognition and related APIs.
Couple of years back, I have tried implementing it in piece by piece basis to understand the possibility of doing it, Did some sample projects on Speech Recognition, RPA and other Automation. Python was my preferred programming language as it will be easy to connect the code. Below are some of my Github projects. It is just a beginning for me, progress in these fields is faster than ever.
