I'm curious - what made you choose deepgram over just running whisper? I don't have any experience with deepgram but whisper has worked so well in my own tests that I didn't even ever consider there might be API speech recognition-only companies.

"Jarvis" is a trademark of Marvel, so that name will definitely not work. https://trademarks.justia.com/862/94/jarvis-86294162.html

And just for those who felt the need to check:

IANAIPL but I find it difficult to believe that trademark is valid, considering it's never been used in trade. There is no Jarvis digital assistant software sold either fictionally or IRL. Even if the trademark were somehow upheld, I don't see how there could be any damages.

But there are many apps called Jarvis, so I am not sure how that is supposed to work?

I wonder if we're at a point where you could build a voice assistant like that, except almost-realtime and streamed end to end:

User speaks and speech to text starts streaming text while the user is still speaking. That text stream is piped into a LLM, which also streams its output text. That output text is streamed to text-to-speech, which also generates audio in a streaming manner.

Found Similar project but fully local for anyone interested.

This one looks similar to this but also does internet search, mail, music, smart home etc.. Hope that there is a standard interface that gets plugged into it. so anyone can develop addons.
