I've been working on a project called **J.A.R.V.I.S.**, inspired by the AI assistant from Iron Man.

I wanted to build something similar that runs on my own computer, so I started developing my own AI command console.

It also has three personalities: **JARVIS, FRIDAY and ULTRON**, each with its own voice, appearance and style.

Node.js, JavaScript, Ollama, Kokoro TTS, Express and WebSockets.

**Requirements:**

**1. Clone the repository**

```
git clone https://github.com/Gityus13/jarvis.git
```

**2. Enter the project folder**

```
cd jarvis
```

**3. Run the setup script**

```
./setup.sh
```

**4. Start J.A.R.V.I.S.**

```
npm start
```

**5. Open the interface**

Visit [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) in Chrome or Edge and press any key on the boot screen.

That's it! You're ready to use your own J.A.R.V.I.S.

The project is open source, and I'd love to hear your suggestions. What features would you add?
