Project Jarvis

Jarvis is the long term goal of the company. Needless to say, its quite a gargantuan goal for any company to tackle in the commercial space. Especially, being a new startup that originally started with nothing (no capital, no team, no product, etc). So its been a difficult and challenging venture to say the least. But a small team has been put together and we are working hard on our first product release, which is actually in private alpha right now!

When it comes to Jarvian as a company, I cannot comment on future products/software. Public announcements will be made when the timing is right, which hopefully shouldn’t be much longer.

No. It was decided a while ago that Project Jarvis wouldn’t work well as an open source project, mainly because its written in a little utilized language creating barrier for others to contribute and only available on Mac platform.
Instead, I’ve started a startup company trying to build this technology to the masses from tech savvy to non-tech savvy people. I wanted to reach a wider audience!

Out of pure frustration that my girlfriend and I keep on forgetting to sign out or in of the apartment I added a couple new features today. Jarvis now automatically signs me out when he when I am outside the zip code I live in. And he automatically signs me in if he detects my iPhone on the wifi network (same for my girlfriend’s iPhone). 

Because of how flexible his infrastructure is, it took me less than 15 minutes to implement from start to finish. I’m completely loving how easy it is to drop new features like that in. :)

Hey Everyone,

So I am really excited to announce that I have formed a new company called Jarvian, Inc. This company will be the entity that our Project Jarvis related products will be available to under. In addition we have also launched the website, www.jarvian.com, and the official twitter account, @JarvianInc. Be sure to subscribe to the Jarvian blog and twitter feed as we will be letting you know about upcoming products and news. 

We’ve been really busy building our initial product and what a first product its going to be!! We are all really excited about it and hope to have a pubic beta available in a few months. Sign up for this beta isn’t ready yet, but stay tuned to the Jarvian blog, we’ll let you know when and where you can sign up in the future.

Thanks to everyone for your support. You’ve all been patiently waiting, and I’ve been working hard putting things together to bring Project Jarvis technology into your home. Keep on holding on, we’re working hard for you.

I am very pleased to announce the hiring of another person to the Jarvis Team. His name is Matt Caldwell and he will be helping with the software development. I feel lucky to have talented people like Matt and David Johnston on the team. They both have already proven to be very talented developers and are working on something I think you all going to like, wink, wink. :)

Below is Matt’s bio, and if you want to welcome him to the team, his twitter handle is @mattcaldwell.
