JARVIS IS THE
name given by Iron Man to one of his AI assistants, in honor of the Stark family butler. Google has seemingly decided to continue this tradition with the codename for its latest AI prototype, which was briefly made available via the Chrome web store in November.
The prototype offered some insights into its upcoming features. According to The Information, the version of Jarvis on the Chrome store was an internal preview. It also carried the description, ‘a helpful companion that surfs the web with you’. When a reporter installed the extension and asked Jarvis to complete a task, it failed due to access permissions.
