Unlike most Android assistants, Extreme has a different, more nerdy looking User Interface.[3] The application was primarily developed to mimic the functionality of Tony Stark's J.A.R.V.I.S. from Iron Man, giving a unique experience to the users. Users can interact with the app via natural voice or keyboard. In the current form, Extreme is able to search the Internet, narrate a joke, read important notifications, open applications and carry out other simple as well as complex tasks.[4]
History[edit]
Extreme was originally developed for Windows PC. The first beta was rolled out in November 2015 with a heavy futuristic looking UI.[6] The software was highly based on Iron Man's JARVIS from Marvel's MCU, Played by Paul Bettany. The early build was coded on Visual Basic 6.0 and used windows speech recognition macros and Windows TTS to listen and speak commands and even housed an Antivirus program.
At its developmental stages, Extreme could Narrate stories, read news articles, read facebook and twitter notifications, open/close programs, provide a dictation mode and search the internet. Though the system was quite buggy at the time, Iron Man fans loved the software, mainly due to the unique looking interface.
Functionality[edit]
Extreme, at its current form, can carry out:[7]
- Phone actions, including calling, sending text, emails, setting timer, sending WhatsApp messages.
- Search the internet for information like weather, scores, unit conversations, etc.
- Handling device settings like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth.
- Reading out the important notifications. Extreme decides the priority of notifications and messages depending on the type of app and user's usage history.
