LARVIS - Linux AIRelied Virtual Intelligent System

The purpose of this paper is to propose a solution to a long-standing challenge in the Linux desktop operating system, which is the absence of a built-in Intelligent Virtual Assistant (IVA) across popular distributions like Ubuntu, Mint, and Fedora. The proposed IVA framework offers a range of functionalities, including file management, fact retrieval, system volume control, internet speed testing, and time and date reporting, among others. This framework, called LARVIS, has been developed using the Speech Recognition, gTTS, and Keras libraries, and it can be deployed on any Linux distribution. One of the unique features of LARVIS is its exceptional ability to navigate the file system and execute file manipulation tasks, setting it apart from existing IVAs such as Cortana. With the implementation of LARVIS, Linux desktop systems can become more user-friendly, streamlined, and efficient, providing a valuable solution to the challenge of a lack of IVA on this platform.
