Mega Project 1: Jarvis

Introduction

  • Focus: Creating a virtual assistant similar to Alexa or Google Home using Python.
  • Tools: Virtual environment, Speech Recognition, pyttsx, Web Browser module, OpenAI API.

Initialization

  • Create a virtual environment:
    python -m venv venv
    ``
    
  • Activate the virtual environment:
    .\venv\Scripts\activate.ps1
    ``
    

Required Packages

  • Install necessary packages:
    pip install SpeechRecognition pyttsx3 webbrowser openai
    

Creating the Jarvis Assistant

Step 1: Initialize Libraries

  • Import the necessary libraries:
    import speech_recognition as sr
    import pyttsx3
    import webbrowser
    import openai
    from datetime import datetime
    ``
    

Step 2: Create Recognizer and Engine

  • Initialize the recognizer and text-to-speech engine:
    recognizer = sr.Recognizer()
    engine = pyttsx3.init()
    

Step 3: Speak Function

  • Function to make the assistant speak:
    def speak(text):
        engine.say(text)
        engine.runAndWait()
    

Step 4: Listening for Wake Word

  • Listen for the wake word using the microphone:
    def listen_for_wake_word():
        try:
            with sr.Microphone() as source:
                print("Listening...")
                recognizer.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source)
                audio = recognizer.listen(source)
                command = recognizer.recognize_google(audio).lower()
                if 'jarvis' in command:
                    speak("Yes, I'm listening")
                    command = recognizer.listen(source)
                    return recognizer.recognize_google(command).lower()
        except sr.UnknownValueError:
            pass
    

Step 5: Processing Commands

  • Define a function to process various commands:
    def process_command(command):
        if 'open google' in command:
            webbrowser.open('https://google.com')
        elif 'open youtube' in command:
            webbrowser.open('https://youtube.com')
        elif 'open facebook' in command:
            webbrowser.open('https://facebook.com')
        elif 'play music' in command:
            # function to play music
            pass
        elif 'news' in command:
            # function to fetch news
            pass
        else:
            respond_openai(command)
    

Step 6: OpenAI Integration

  • Integrate OpenAI API to handle complex requests:
    openai.api_key = 'YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY'
    
    def respond_openai(prompt):
        response = openai.Completion.create(
            engine="text-davinci-003",
            prompt=prompt,
            max_tokens=100
        )
        speak(response.choices[0].text.strip())
    

Step 7: Main Function

  • Main loop to keep the assistant running:
    if __name__ == "__main__":
        while True:
            command = listen_for_wake_word()
            if command:
                process_command(command)
    

Step 8: Testing and Enhancements

  • Test basic functionalities like opening websites and responding to general queries.
  • Implement additional features such as fetching news, playing specific songs, etc.
