Read this before you install or run Personal Jarvis. This is experimental, autonomous software that can control your computer and act in the real world on your behalf. You use it entirely at your own risk.
1. What this software is
Personal Jarvis is a free, open-source project released under the MIT License. It is a voice-driven meta-orchestrator: it dispatches your spoken or typed commands to autonomous AI agents and tools (such as Claude Code, Codex, MCP servers and command-line tools) that run on your own machine, under your own API keys, at your own cost.
It is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. There is no guarantee that it works, is correct, is secure, or is fit for any purpose. Features may be incomplete, change without notice, or fail.
2. It is autonomous — and that is risky
Personal Jarvis is an agentic system. Depending on how you configure it and which tools you connect, it can take real, consequential, and sometimes irreversible actions on your behalf, including but not limited to:
- running shell commands and scripts, installing software, and modifying or deleting files;
- controlling your mouse, keyboard, and applications (computer-use);
- sending messages, emails, or posts on your behalf;
- making purchases, bookings, or other transactions that cost real money;
- incurring API and service charges with the AI providers and third-party services you connect.
AI models can make mistakes, “hallucinate”, misinterpret instructions, or behave unpredictably. You are solely responsible for everything the software does on your machine and on your behalf, including any costs, data loss, damage, or third-party consequences that result.
3. It is for developers — review the code first
This software is intended for technically competent developers who understand what it does. Before you install or run it, you are expected to:
- read and review the source code and documentation on GitHub;
- understand the permissions, tools, and integrations you are enabling;
- run it in an environment and with safeguards (e.g. risk tiers, approvals, isolation) appropriate to the risk you are willing to accept; and
- keep backups of anything you cannot afford to lose.
By installing or running the software, you confirm that you have done so and that you accept the risks described here.
4. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the authors, contributors, and operators of Personal Jarvis shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages — including but not limited to data loss, system damage, lost profits, costs incurred, or charges, purchases, bookings, or transactions carried out by the software — arising out of or in connection with the software or its use, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damage. This mirrors the warranty and liability disclaimer of the MIT License under which the software is distributed.
Mandatory law (Germany): nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it may not be excluded by law — in particular for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health caused by a negligent breach of duty, for intent (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit), or under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz). Since the software is provided free of charge, the statutory liability privilege for gratuitous provision (§ 521 BGB analogously) may further apply.
5. Third-party services
Personal Jarvis connects to third-party AI providers and tools (e.g. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter, GitHub, and others) using credentials you supply. Your use of those services is governed by their terms and pricing. You are responsible for complying with them and for any fees they charge. We are not a party to, and accept no responsibility for, your relationship with those providers.
6. No professional advice
Output produced by or through the software is generated by AI systems and may be inaccurate or incomplete. It does not constitute legal, financial, medical, or other professional advice. Verify anything important before relying on it.
7. Changes
The software and these terms may change at any time. The license that governs your rights to the software itself is the MIT License included with the source code; in the event of any conflict regarding the software, that license controls.
8. Trademarks
“Jarvis” is used as a personal-computing metaphor, not as a trademark claim. This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Marvel Studios or The Walt Disney Company. Other names and marks are the property of their respective owners.
