The name “Jarvis” was certainly not chosen at random. Fans of the Marvel comics and movies must have caught the reference right away: it's the artificial intelligence that helps Iron Man, aka Tony Stark. If this Google version of Jarvis doesn't help you fly over cities and fire rockets from your arm, it should nonetheless offer one of the original JARVIS's functions: that of an improved assistant capable of doing boring tasks for you.

If rumors are to be believed, Jarvis should be officially presented in December, which will actually coincide with the launch of Gemini 2.0. However, its accessibility remains uncertain: for example, it could be limited only to users of Google's premium AI service, Gemini Advanced.
