IRIS – Your Personal Desktop Assistant

With ever-emerging technology, the meaning of an artist is also changing. These days, with the help of handy technology and interactive operating systems, anyone can become an artist using their phones and laptops or PCs. Moreover, these technologies on their own have become diverse in the ways we, Humans, interact with them. One of the ways which have gained quite a lot of popularity is through Voice control. Many mobile devices these days come pre-loaded with at least one voice assistant. These voice assistants on their own are “smart” and are capable of handling the whole mobile device. However, the market around “voice assistants” for PCs and Laptops seems confusingly empty. One of the main competitors in this area was Microsoft’s Cortana, which was also made optional with Microsoft’s Windows 11. We came across this news during our research phase and immediately decided to tackle this situation. We have designed a voice assistant capable of handling tasks presented to it and is capable of doing that while running on any operating system that the user desires. Furthermore, we have designed this assistant to be capable of understanding any command given by the user even if the syntax of the language used by the user is incorrect. This will allow the voice assistant to be accessible by a wide range of users from any linguistic backgrounds allowing everyone to be a creator and a proud business owner.
