The previous image belongs to : Pelops II which is a doglike artificial intelligence who appears in the 2021 animated Godzilla series, Godzilla Singular Point.
Pelops reminded me that I have created my own assistant that can be something interesting.
Origin
Since the first time I touched a computer, if I see a repetitive task, I needed to automate it, no matter what. I still remember one of my first portable: Dev c++.
That necessity of automate explode when I met the linux shell
So, since that day I was accumulating a lot of scripts.
When I see the first Iron Movie my mind went to space, because of Jarvis
So in this post I will share you my own shell assistant for linux and my plan to convert it to Jarvis.
Shortcuts or Alias
On a UI based systems, shortcuts are the option to open programs. On linux, you could create alias like this:
So when you enter the alias (CD in the example), the shell will execute the register commands
More human shell
Alias don’t like me. Also inspired in Iron Man movies, I was looking for something like this:
linux-commandline-assistant
So in the 2019, I created this tool as the Hello World of my future Jarvis
https://github.com/jrichardsz/linux-commandline-assistant
If you follow the configuration steps you will some commands ready to use like
and create your own commands easily
How it works?
Just create a new script with some cool name like foo.sh and instantly you can use it
jarvis foo
Alternatives
I found these, but I think they are so simples
- https://github.com/MinhajAnsari/Voice-Assistant-for-Linux
- https://github.com/santoshakil/Smart-Voice-Assistant-for-Linux
Next Feature 1
I want to add a feature to be able to execute the commands with my voice
Next Feature 2
Using some machine learning program I want to be able to use more human commands instead static or hardcoded strings
Next Feature 3
Create a framework in which developers could collaborate with useful commands
Conclusion
I will try to generate a project in Indiegogo or Kickstarters to see if I found some incentive. If not, I will do it slowly but surely
Until the next,
JRichardsz
