Jarvis works online, and you watch

Ask about a storm heading for the coast and Jarvis opens a live tracker on its desk, the key numbers beside it. You watch each page as it opens, and it signs in with the sign-ins you keep.

Some answers are a place on the web, not a paragraph: a storm tracker, an official advisory, a listing, a schedule. Ask for one and Jarvis opens it in a real browser and puts that browser on its desk, so you see each page as it opens it, live, while it talks you through what it found.

The view, and what it means

"There is a hurricane heading for the coast, open a live tracker and put the key numbers beside it." Jarvis finds the storm, opens the tracker on the browser card, reads the advisory, and puts the category, winds, pressure, position, movement and landfall on a card of their own. Ask it to "arrange the desk: the browser big, the numbers beside it" and it lays the two out for you.

It drives the page for you

  • Clicks, zooms and plays: "zoom in on the storm and start the satellite loop". Jarvis presses the page's own buttons, and when a button is not there it says what is.
  • Follows the story: from a front page to the story behind a headline, or from a tracker to the official advisory, reading each page as it goes.
  • Asks before it writes: typing into a site always asks you first, with what and where.
  • Names what you see: the card is titled for the page it shows, and keeps up as Jarvis moves on.

It picks up where it left off

After a restart the card keeps the last page: Resume opens the browser there again.

A browser does not have to survive a restart for the work to. Jarvis keeps where it was, and the card shows the last page with a Resume button: press it, or just ask Jarvis to carry on, and the browser opens again on that page, signed in as before. Close the card, or delete the session, and the browser closes with it.

It signs in for you

Keep the sign-ins you want Jarvis to use under Jarvis > Credentials, encrypted. When the work reaches one of those sites it asks first, then fills the site's own form: it never sees the password, and a sign-in fills only on the site you saved it for.

Yours alone

The browser runs for your session and shows on your desk only. It opens public pages through the platform's own guard, never an address inside your network, and it is gone when the work is done.

The browser card comes with the Business plan and up.
