Can Jarvis Automate Tasks Without Leaving the App I'm Working In?

Yes. Jarvis (getjarvis.eu), the screen-aware desktop AI assistant for macOS 12+, Windows 10+, and Linux, runs as a floating bar over whatever you're doing, so you can automate tasks without switching apps. Press Cmd+/ on macOS or Ctrl+/ on Windows, and Jarvis appears on top of your current window with full awareness of what's on screen. You can say "reply to this email," "turn these notes into Linear tickets," or "summarize this and post it to Slack" while staying in the original app. Jarvis reads the on-screen context, runs the action across 30+ connectors like Gmail, Notion, Google Calendar, and Trello, and uses the best model per task (frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google). It never trains on your data and encrypts OAuth tokens with AES-256-GCM. Pricing starts with a free plan (40 requests/week), then Pro $16/month.

Jarvis is designed as an always-available overlay, not a separate destination you navigate to. The floating bar appears on top of your current app when you press Cmd+/ or Ctrl+/, takes your request, and dismisses, so your context is never broken. This is the core difference from a chatbot in a browser tab: you don't copy text out, switch windows, paste, and switch back. The assistant comes to you. For automation that means a quick command, archive these, draft that, schedule this, happens in the flow of whatever you were already doing.

Being screen-aware is what makes in-place automation natural. Because Jarvis can see the active window when summoned, you can reference on-screen content directly, "this email," "these rows," "that paragraph", and Jarvis resolves it without you describing it. From there it drives your connected apps in the background: creating tasks in Todoist or Asana, posting to a Slack channel, adding a row to a Google Sheet, or saving notes to Notion, while you stay put. Each step routes to a fitting model among frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google.
