Jarvis

For parents

Jarvis, what does my week look like?

A personal assistant who knows you, remembers everything, and works only for you.

listening

A preview of Jarvis, not the full assistant. Yours runs on your own computer, remembers everything, and is available now.

Everyone who does well
has someone helping them.

Until now, that has been a matter of circumstance. Jarvis is a personal assistant built for young people: he learns your week, keeps track of your deadlines and your projects, and handles the parts of them that do not need you. He is the advantage that used to depend on who your parents knew.

He remembers

Every conversation, every deadline, every detail you have mentioned once. You never explain yourself twice, and nothing quietly falls through.

He acts

Not suggestions about what you might do. Ask him to deal with something and it is dealt with, while you spend your attention elsewhere.

He is good company

Composed, patient, and unexpectedly dry. At eleven at night with work unfinished, that turns out to matter as much as competence.

He explains it again

However many times it takes, without a sigh and without making you feel slow. The second explanation is a different one, not the same words said louder.

Built by people who believe
this should already exist.

A small, focused team of engineers and researchers who have spent their careers on the hardest problems in machine intelligence. We looked at where that work was being directed, found it was largely aimed at the workplace, and concluded that a fifteen year old with four deadlines had the better claim to it.

Built for Young people between nine and eighteen. A more demanding brief than enterprise software, and a far less forgiving audience.
Our discipline One question, held to throughout: does this genuinely know the person it works for. Anything that does not serve that is removed.
For parents Full visibility of how Jarvis is used. Nothing concealed, nothing buried in a settings menu, no discoveries after the fact. What parents can see and control.
The standard What we would accept for our own families, which has proven a considerably higher bar than the industry norm.

Beta tests now open

The doors are open.
Yours is waiting.

The conversation on this page is a brief preview. The real Jarvis lives on your own computer, answers to his name aloud, remembers every conversation you have had with him, and carries on working while you are not there. He is available now, to a limited first group, and places are allocated in order. He wants a Windows computer, or a Mac if you are willing to be the first to try one. Worth knowing before you claim a place.

Already have a place

Been let in already?
This way.

Two different doors, because you are two different people. Students sign in with the Google account they registered. Parents have their own way in, sent to them when their child's machine was set up. If Google will not let you sign in, which happens with accounts a parent supervises, ask us for a password instead and we will send one.

Then bring him home. Signing in gives you a key. This is the rest of him.

about five minutes, most of it waiting
