Key Points

  • A Reddit user is asking for guidance on building a personal AI assistant that can take actions on their behalf (inspired by J.A.R.V.I.S from Iron Man).
  • They want an approach that avoids subscriptions, tokens, and other ongoing costs, and are looking for a practical starting point.
  • Although they have some electrical engineering knowledge, they say they lack a clear blueprint and don’t know what to begin with.
  • The post is seeking experiences, advice, and information from others who may have built similar systems before.
  • The core challenge implied is designing an assistant architecture that combines AI capabilities with real-world action execution within technical limits.

Hey, I was wondering if I could build my own AI Assistant that would act as (J.A.R.V.I.S) from IRON MAN. An AI that I can ask to do literally anything (within its capabilities) and just do it with no need to buy any subscriptions or tokens and all that stuff. I am an Electrical engineer so I have a little bit of knowledge that I could use to that, the problem is I still don't have a blueprint and I don't know what I should start with first. If anyone tied this before I will be happy to get some information about how it went and maybe a lot of advice.
