Google accidentally leaked Jarvis AI preview with its remote capabilities
Google, a prominent player in the field of AI, has introduced numerous AI features with its Google Pixel 9 series. However, the tech giant seems to have bigger plans in the works. While Google already has an AI assistant named Gemini, a new AI entity appears to be on the horizon. Recent developments suggest that Google has provided a sneak peek into its secret project - Jarvis, inspired by Tony Stark's AI assistant in Marvel's Iron Man. This new AI, named Jarvis, promises to offer more than just basic reminders.
Leaked Details
According to reports from The Information, Google inadvertently leaked a preview of its Jarvis AI on a store page. The leaked description of the Jarvis prototype referred to it as "a helpful companion that surfs the web for you." This suggests that the upcoming Google AI will be capable of performing various tasks autonomously. Tasks such as ticket bookings, grocery shopping, and research activities will be effortlessly handled by Jarvis without requiring manual intervention.
Competition and Functionality
Despite the early version's limited functionality that briefly appeared on Google's extension store, Jarvis is expected to make its official debut in December. This new AI from Google is likely to encounter competition from systems like Anthropic's Claude, which recently entered public beta testing. Unlike conventional tools, Claude offers advanced capabilities such as typing, clicking, and cursor movement on a computer.
Consumer-Friendly Automation
Project Jarvis is positioned as a user-friendly AI tool integrated within Google Chrome, designed to automate routine web tasks. Google plans to unveil Jarvis alongside the latest iteration of its Gemini AI model, known as Gemini 2.0. With features like task delegation and automation, Jarvis aims to simplify online activities for users. With simple commands like "I have $500, find me a holiday for these dates, book it, and inform me about the details," Jarvis can handle the entire process, including browsing, booking, and providing information back to the user.
AI Integration with Chrome
Utilizing "AI Vision" technology, Jarvis interacts directly with the Chrome browser, analyzing on-screen elements to determine actions like clicking and typing based on captured screenshots. While Jarvis currently operates solely within Chrome and not the entire computer system like Anthropic's Claude, potential future developments could see its integration with ChromeOS to expand its control capabilities.
