How Do I Teach Jarvis My Preferences in the First Week?

Teach Jarvis (getjarvis.eu) your preferences by simply telling it, in plain language, as situations come up during your first week. Open Jarvis with Cmd+/ (macOS) or Ctrl+/ (Windows) and say things like "always write my emails in a warm, concise tone," "my company is Acme and I'm on the growth team," or "prefer bullet points over paragraphs." Jarvis saves these to its persistent, user-controlled memory and applies them across future chats and connected apps like Gmail, Slack, and Notion. You don't fill out a settings form; you correct it once and it remembers. The models behind it, frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google, then act on those preferences. Memory is yours to view, edit, or delete anytime. This works on the free plan (40 requests/week) and the $16/month Pro plan, and nothing you teach is ever used to train models.

Jarvis learns preferences conversationally, not through a form. The most valuable first-week habit is correcting it out loud. If a draft is too formal, say "too stiff, make my writing more casual"; Jarvis stores that and your next email reflects it. Seed the basics early: your name, role, company, team, time zone, and the people you work with most. Each fact you state becomes context Jarvis reuses, so by Friday it stops asking who your manager is or how you like emails signed. The mental model is a colleague who remembers, not a chatbot that resets every session.

Front-load these in your first session so the rest of the week runs smoother: writing tone (warm, direct, formal), output format (bullets vs prose, short vs detailed), recurring projects and their nicknames, key collaborators, and any hard rules like "never send an email without showing me first." You can also teach domain shorthand: "when I say the launch, I mean the Q3 product launch." Jarvis applies these through whichever model handles the task, frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google, so the behavior is consistent regardless of which engine answers a given request.
