Getting Started with Jarvis: A Complete Guide

BSBen Stonehouse8 min read

Setting up Jarvis takes about two minutes. This guide walks you through everything from your first conversation to connecting plugins and customising your experience.

Step 1: Try the free browser version

The fastest way to experience Jarvis is in your browser. Head to heyjarvis.co.uk/app, allow microphone access when prompted, and say “Hey Jarvis.” That’s it — you’re talking to your AI assistant.

The free tier gives you up to five conversations per day with server-side processing. It’s the perfect way to explore what Jarvis can do before downloading.

Step 2: Create your account

To save your preferences and enable plugins, create a free account. You can sign up with your email or use Google/Apple sign-in. Your account syncs your settings across devices.

Step 3: Enable your first plugins

Plugins are what make Jarvis genuinely useful. Here are the most popular ones to start with:

  • Email — read, reply, and manage your inbox by voice
  • Calendar — check your schedule, create and move events
  • Weather — get forecasts and severe weather alerts
  • Spotify — play music, control playback, discover new tracks
  • Smart Home — control lights, heating and connected devices

Each plugin requires a one-time authorisation (e.g. signing into your Google account for Calendar). After that, everything works by voice.

Step 4: Upgrade to Pro for local processing

When you’re ready for unlimited use and maximum privacy, upgrade to Jarvis Pro (£9.99/month). You’ll get the downloadable desktop app that processes everything on your own hardware — no cloud required.

Step 5: Customise your experience

In Settings, you can adjust:

  • Voice — choose from multiple AI voice options
  • Wake word sensitivity — adjust how easily Jarvis activates
  • Morning briefing — configure what information you hear each morning
  • Personality — set the tone from professional to casual

Things to try

Here are some commands to get you started:

“Hey Jarvis, what’s on my calendar today?”

“Hey Jarvis, play something relaxing on Spotify”

“Hey Jarvis, read my unread emails”

“Hey Jarvis, turn off the bedroom lights”

“Hey Jarvis, set a timer for 15 minutes”

“Hey Jarvis, morning briefing”
