A command allows you to speak and tell Jarvis Lite to execute a task and/or respond to you.
You can find out what the different types of commands do here:

• What are default commands?
• What are shell commands?
• What are termination commands?
• What are social commands?
• What are hotkey commands?

Follow this video or text tutorial to get an overview of how to use commands:

Text Version

1. Say "show commands" to bring up the window of all commands loaded into Jarvis.
2. Look through the default commands and try them out by saying them to Jarvis. For example, try saying "how's the weather?"
3. In this window there are also tabs for the custom commands which we will setup later.
4. Now let's move on to custom commands. Shell commands can start applications and open webpages and are extremely easy to add. The first thing you are going to want to do is type in what you would like the command to be, for example "start chrome".
5. The next thing that is required is the response - whatever you type in here is what Jarvis will say back to you after you have said the command. If you don't want Jarvis to respond use a full stop in the text box.
6. Now select the application to start by clicking the browse button and selecting an application.
7. Press the add button.
8. To add a web command, put a URL into the location text box instead.
9. Hit save at the top of the window.
10. To see if it works say "update commands" and then your command.
11. Now we can go back and add a termination command. Termination commands can close any application on your PC.
12. Input your command and response and then use the browse button to find the application name you would like to close. This browse button displays only the current running processes, so if the application you would like to close is not listed simply launch it. Finally click add and then save.
13. Say "update commands" and then your command to see if it works.
14. Social commands don't cause Jarvis to execute any tasks but just makes Jarvis respond when it recognises your command.
15. Hotkey commands allow Jarvis to emulate multiple keypresses from your keyboard.
16. An example of this is the ALT+F4 hotkey as this is the hotkey that exits a program.
17. To remove a command, select it and click the remove button and then save.

Start by pressing the dropdown button on the Main Window, then pressing the ‘Commands’ button to bring up the Custom Commands window. Next, select the tab at the top that relates to the type of command you wish to create. Some of the text boxes at the bottom of the window are different for each type of command, however the following are always the same:

• Command: This is what you say to Jarvis to initiate the command.
• Response: This is what Jarvis will say back to you when the command has been executed.

For shell commands, ‘Location’ is the path of the file or webpage to be launched. You can use the ‘Browse’ button next to this text box to quickly search for a file or program on your computer to launch. To launch a webpage, simply use “http(s)://” followed by the webpage. For example “https://www.google.co.uk”.
For termination commands, ‘Process’ is the name of the process to be closed. You can use the ‘Browse’ button next to this text box to quickly search for a running process name to close.
For hotkey commands, ‘Combination’ is the combination of modifier and normal key to be emulated.
Once you have filled in the text boxes, press ‘Add’ and then press ‘Save’ to save the current list of commands.

For examples of commands, visit the Jarvis Lite Examples page.

Start by pressing the dropdown button on the Main Window, then pressing the ‘Commands’ button to bring up the Custom Commands window. Next, select the tab at the top that relates to the type of command you wish to delete. Select the command you wish to delete from the list of commands and press ‘Remove’, then press ‘Save’ to save the current list of commands.

Start by pressing the dropdown button on the Main Window, then pressing the ‘Commands’ button to bring up the Custom Commands window. Next, select the tab at the top that relates to the type of command you wish to edit. Select the command you wish to edit from the list of commands and press ‘Edit’.
The information from the command will be transferred from the list to the text boxes at the bottom of the window where you can edit the details. Once you have made your desired changes, press ‘Add’ and the command will be added back to the list, then press ‘Save’ to save the current list of commands.

Simply say "show commands" to bring up a window with all the currently loaded commands.

Default commands come pre-installed with Jarvis Lite and contain basic commands, for example media controls. Say "show commands" and select the 'Default' tab to view all default commands.

Shell commands are used to start applications or webpages.

Termination commands are used to close applications.

Social commands are used to simply get a response from Jarvis.

Hotkey commands are used to emulate keypresses on your keyboard.

To stop Jarvis Lite from responsing to your commands, simply enter '[none]' into the response box (without quotation marks).

Randomised responses allow Jarvis to say one of many responses randomly. Use a pipe (|) as a delimiter to the possible responses that Jarvis could say. For example if you entered 'OK Sir|Sure thing|Already done' as a response when setting a custom command, Jarvis will randomly pick one to respond to you with.

Collective commands allow Jarvis to have multiple commands linked to the same function. Use a pipe (|) as a delimiter to the commands that you could say. For example if you entered 'Hello|Hi Jarvis|Hey Jarvis' as a command when setting a custom command, Jarvis will respond and carry out the function (shell, termination or hotkey command) whenever you say either of those commands. This system is pipe delimited, like the randomised responses feature.

There must not be any blank spaces either side of the pipe delimiter.

A shell command can shut down your PC. This can be achieved by setting the location to 'shutdown' when adding a custom shell command.

A shell command can create a new email. This can be achieved by setting the location to 'mailto:' when adding a custom shell command. To specify an email address, use 'mailto:[email protected]'. For more examples and information about mailto, such as how to add a subject and body, visit the mailto Wikipedia page. Please note: this protocol will create a new email using your default email client.
