## Why OpenJarvis?

Personal AI agents are exploding in popularity, but nearly all of them still route intelligence through cloud APIs. Your "personal" AI continues to depend on someone else's server. At the same time, our [Intelligence Per Watt](https://www.intelligence-per-watt.ai/) research showed that local language models already handle 88.7% of single-turn chat and reasoning queries, with intelligence efficiency improving 5.3× from 2023 to 2025. The models and hardware are increasingly ready. What has been missing is the software stack to make local-first personal AI practical.

OpenJarvis is that stack. It is an opinionated framework for local-first personal AI, built around three core ideas: shared primitives for building on-device agents; evaluations that treat energy, FLOPs, latency, and dollar cost as first-class constraints alongside accuracy; and a learning loop that improves models using local trace data. The goal is simple: make it possible to build personal AI agents that run locally by default, calling the cloud only when truly necessary. OpenJarvis aims to be both a research platform and a production foundation for local AI, in the spirit of PyTorch.

## Installation

### Prerequisites

| Tool | Install |
|------|---------|
| **Python 3.10+** | [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/) |
| **uv** (Python package manager) | `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh \| sh` — or `brew install uv` on macOS |
| **Rust** | `curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs \| sh` |
| **Git** | [git-scm.com](https://git-scm.com/) — or `brew install git` on macOS |

> **macOS users:** see the full [macOS Installation Guide](https://open-jarvis.github.io/OpenJarvis/getting-started/macos/) for a step-by-step walkthrough including Homebrew setup.

### Setup

```bash
git clone https://github.com/open-jarvis/OpenJarvis.git
cd OpenJarvis
uv sync                           # core framework
uv sync --extra server             # + FastAPI server

# Build the Rust extension
uv run maturin develop -m rust/crates/openjarvis-python/Cargo.toml
```

> **Python 3.14+:** set `PYO3_USE_ABI3_FORWARD_COMPATIBILITY=1` before the `maturin` command.

You also need a local inference backend: [Ollama](https://ollama.com), [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm), [SGLang](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang), or [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp). Alternatively, use the `cloud` engine with [OpenAI](https://openai.com), [Anthropic](https://anthropic.com), [Google Gemini](https://ai.google.dev), [OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai), or [MiniMax](https://www.minimax.io) by setting the corresponding API key environment variable.

## Quick Start

```bash
# 1. Install and detect hardware
git clone https://github.com/open-jarvis/OpenJarvis.git
cd OpenJarvis
uv sync
uv run jarvis init

# 2. Start Ollama and pull a model
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
ollama serve &
ollama pull qwen3:8b

# 3. Ask a question
uv run jarvis ask "What is the capital of France?"
```

`jarvis init` auto-detects your hardware and recommends the best engine. Run `uv run jarvis doctor` at any time to diagnose issues.

## Starter Configs

Install any preset with one command:

```bash
jarvis init --preset morning-digest-mac   # or any preset below
```

| Preset | Use Case | What it does |
|--------|----------|-------------|
| `morning-digest-mac` | Daily Briefing (Mac) | Spoken briefing from email, calendar, health, news with Jarvis voice |
| `morning-digest-linux` | Daily Briefing (Linux) | Same, with vLLM support for GPU servers |
| `morning-digest-minimal` | Daily Briefing (minimal) | Just Gmail + Calendar, runs on any machine |
| `deep-research` | Research Assistant | Multi-hop research across indexed docs with citations |
| `code-assistant` | Code Companion | Agent with code execution, file I/O, and shell access |
| `scheduled-monito
