Tap the temple or speak to Jarvis. Ask "What am I looking at?" and get vision-powered answers from your point of view. Capture photos and video hands-free. YOUR PRIVATE AGENT Each user gets a dedicated cloud workspace — your memory, your skills, your Jarvis. Context-aware: time, location, weather, motion, and (with permission) Apple Health. RUN YOUR DAY BY VOICE • Google Calendar & Gmail (optional connect) • Reminders, timers, notes • Phone, WhatsApp (via Beeper), Spotify, Maps • Proactive briefings and alerts when it matters SUBSCRIPTION Jarvis Pro includes a 3-day free trial, then monthly or yearly plans with included credits for voice and vision.
