Build Your Own Jarvis AI in 3 Prompts with Cursor

Summary

You can now build a fully functional AI voice agent capable of controlling your computer and using tools with just three prompts using the Cursor AI platform. This custom AI, nicknamed "Ricky," utilizes OpenAI's GPT Realtime 2 for natural, real-time voice interaction and can perform tasks like web searches via Exa, generate images with GPT, and create diagrams using mermaid. The process requires zero coding experience and involves downloading Cursor, obtaining an OpenAI API key, and crafting a detailed prompt. Early versions of Ricky demonstrated impressive capabilities, including web searches and diagram generation, though some initial integrations like web search required API key setup. Subsequent prompt refinements addressed issues like parse errors, improved UI design for a minimalist look, and enhanced visual elements. The AI can now generate and edit images with specific instructions, create mermaid diagrams explaining its own processes, and even enter a computer use mode for direct desktop control, like opening applications such as Codeex. While the image generation and editing features are still being refined, the potential for creating personalized AI assistants and integrating them into business workflows is significant, with options to customize its appearance and functionality.
