Facebook founder, Mark Zukerberg, on Tuesday,
introduced Jarvis to the world. Jarvis is a home assistant with a
difference – he isn’t human, but an app. This software was developed by
the tech entrepreneur to meet a variety of needs around the house, from
turning off the light, adjusting the room temperature to one that is
favourable, preparing meals and even supplying Mark with a change of
clothes.
Jarvis responds to Mark’s voice and talks back to him, lets guests in
after a facial identification, it also alerts him of his schedule and
things going on within the house, for instance, when Max, Mark’s
daughter with wife Priscilla, woke from sleep, Jarvis informed Mark
about it. There is very little that Jarvis cannot do around the house as
can be seen in the video shared by Mark.
While the app was still being built, Priscilla, Mark’s wife, encountered
some issues with it initially. At first, the app only responded to
Mark’s voice, completely ignoring Priscilla’s instructions. She also
complained that the voice used earlier was a bit aggressive (Arnold
Schwarzenegger’s voice). Modifications were made afterwards to create
what Mark introduced to the world yesterday; a friendly, helpful
software which detects your needs as a family and meets them - and
sometimes refuses them if it doesn’t approve. Lol.
