Reading Time: 2 minutesMark Zuckerberg announced Monday, December 19 that he has achieved his goal of creating his personal assistant “Jarvis”, in tribute to artificial intelligence manufactured by Tony Stark, aka Iron Man. This machine can understand the Facebook founder’s demands, whether in writing, via the Facebook Messenger application, or via Oral Orders (thanks to an application he specially developed for the occasion).
Jarvis can control the light, heating, music, but also the front door of Mark Zuckerberg’s house. In his report, the founder of Facebook has faced several problems, not simple to solve.

If the founder of Facebook found the voice control interesting, it was also realized that it was sometimes better to write to his assistant, if only to not create a bizarre situation with his guests, he . One way of asserting subtly that personal assistants by cats, like those arriving on Messenger, have a future.
Making Jarvis asked him about 100 hours of work over the year, says Mark Zuckerberg. For now, it has not given the technical details of the project, but would like to publish the source code so that others can understand try … even use this basis to create a “new product”.
It must therefore be specified that the idea of a house is automated, thanks to home automation, is not new. Before Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates had also built a house of the future, called Xanadu 2.0 … in 1997. But with the recent developments in artificial intelligence, this type of project is becoming more and more efficient and “Easy” to achieve.
