Control Your PC From Your Phone With an AI Assistant

The most useful thing about a desktop AI assistant is that it can actually do things on your computer — run commands, manage files, drive the browser. The catch is that you're not always at your desk. With the Jarvis AI Assistant mobile app, your phone becomes the remote and your desktop stays the hands: you send an instruction, and the assistant carries it out on your PC.

The phone is the remote, the desktop does the work

The mobile app is a thin client. It has no AI of its own — it streams what you type or say to the desktop, where the full agent runs with all its tools, then streams the results back. So anything Jarvis can do at your desk, you can trigger from your phone.

• Chat — natural-language commands that run real tools on the PC, with every tool call streamed back so you see exactly what happened.
• Live terminal — a real PowerShell session on the desktop, right from your phone.
• Voice — speak a request; it's transcribed and sent to the same agent, with the reply read back to you.
• Push alerts — the desktop pushes notifications (a finished job, a new message) to your phone.

Connected privately over Tailscale

The phone reaches your desktop over Tailscale, a private encrypted mesh network. Your PC isn't exposed to the public internet — no open ports, no traffic routed through someone else's servers. You install Tailscale on both devices, sign them into the same account, and the app connects to your desktop's private address.

Getting connected

Setup is two steps. First, sign in with your Jarvis account. Then enter your desktop's Tailscale address (a 100.x.y.z IP from the Tailscale app) — the app fills in the rest. Optionally turn on a biometric lock so only you can open it. From there you land in chat and you're controlling your PC.

What you can do from the couch

• Kick off a build or a long agent job and get a notification when it finishes.
• Run a quick shell command to check on a server or a container.
• Ask it to summarize your day, draft a reply, or file a ticket.
• Trigger a saved workflow, or clock in/out of a connected time tracker.

A note on security

Remote control of your own machine is powerful, so the design keeps you in the loop: everything runs through the same agent guardrails as on the desktop — destructive actions can require explicit approval, secrets are redacted before anything goes to a cloud model, and every action is logged. Your phone is a convenient window into your assistant, not a bypass around its safety.
