2.2 Product Features

Every day new AI model/prototype has been introduced by people around the
globe. By following the same flow this project comes into play. This project is only
one of its kind since various features of different categories will be installed. We
have seen that these types of systems are dedicated to a specific task, but this
system also functions for other tasks too. Below are some tasks on which this
system shall function:
 Queries from the web: Making queries is an essential part of one’s life, and
nothing changes even for a developer working on Linux. We have enabled our
voice assistant to search the web, generate the most accurate and relevant
search experiences and display them to the user. Jarvis supports some search
engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo and displays the result by scraping the
searched queries. Jarvis supports Google, Bing and Yahoo, which should
precede the desired query.
Software Requirements Specification for <Project> Page 5

 Accessing Youtube videos: Videos have remained as a main source of

entertainment, one of the most prioritized tasks of virtual assistants. They are
equally important for entertainment as well as educational purposes as most
teaching and research activities in present times are done through Youtube.
This helps in making the learning process more practical.
 Get weather for a location: Getting live weather conditions about a place
remains an important task of virtual assistants. It helps the user book the
course of their action. Jarvis addresses this issue with the help of Python.
 Dictionary meaning: One of the usages of the web is to find word meaning
and its usage in our day to day life. Instead of going through the bulky books,
our users can simply search for it using the voice assistant and get the
meaning within a fraction of seconds.
 Sending Emails: Integrating mailing features to Jarvis eases the job of mailing,
which otherwise would have to be done by opening the concerned email
address. With Jarvis, you do not need to go for another tab to do one of the
major tasks of your day to day affairs. The user can send emails to the desired
receiver. He should input Send mail, after which a form will be displayed. Fill
the form with the required details and click on the send mail button.
 Retrieve images: Users could get images directly through the Jarvis interface.
The images are derived from Google images. These are formatted according
to use and displayed compactly in the Jarvis interface.
 Medicine Details: One of the important issue Jarvis addresses is of healthcare,
and medicine in general. The user can query either the medicine or the
symptoms. The former lets you know the complete details of the medicine,
like indications, contradictions, trade or brand names, dosage, the process of
consumption, warning and precautions, storage conditions, etc. On the other
hand, the symptom feature lets you query about the symptoms while Jarvis
lists various diseases one is likely to be affected along with their medicine.
This is helpful for people who are quite busy with their life and find trouble
visiting the doctor immediately, thus relying on the web to find the best result
for short term causes. We have a huge database of various medicines and
symptoms which helps Jarvis respond to the queries of the user at ease.
 Set Reminders: One of the main features of a voice assistant is to set a
reminder for the user accordingly. Jarvis is no different when it comes to this.
The user can set reminders to be notified about a task at a particular time.
This will help users, especially developers to schedule their time and
resources easily.
