GUIDE 4 · SETTINGS

A tour of the Settings page

Most people never need to change anything here. This guide explains each part, so you know what it does if you do.

About 5 minutes

To open Settings, click the SETTINGS button at the top of the JARVIS screen.

The JARVIS Settings page with its four sections numbered: Claude Code, Voice, Brain and Actions.
The whole Settings page, with the sections numbered.

Keys: where they go

A key is a long password that lets JARVIS use another service. JARVIS has one place for keys: Settings → Voice for the optional ElevenLabs key. Your Claude login is handled by the sign-in button, not a key.

The “Test key” button

After you paste a key, click Test key. JARVIS checks it straight away. It says Key works when all is good. Any other message means the key was copied wrongly or has been deleted. Paste it again.

Model and effort

  • Model is which Claude does the thinking. A bigger model is smarter but slower and uses more of your plan.
  • Effort is how hard it thinks before it answers. Low is quick. High is careful but slower.

Changes to these two take effect the next time you start JARVIS.

The Model box and the Effort drop-down menu.

Voice

Here you add or remove your ElevenLabs key. Without a key JARVIS uses your browser's voice. With a key it sounds much more natural, and it also hears you more accurately. See how to get a voice key.

“Let JARVIS take real actions”

This tick box decides whether JARVIS can do things on your computer, such as open programs, change files or run commands. With it off, JARVIS can still talk, search and answer questions. It just cannot change anything.

The Let JARVIS take real actions tick box, not ticked.

Memory and privacy

JARVIS can remember things you tell it, such as your name. Your settings and keys are stored on your PC in this folder. Memories are kept next to it, in %LOCALAPPDATA%\JARVIS\memory:

%APPDATA%\JARVIS

To open it, press Windows + R, paste the line above, and press Enter. Deleting those folders erases everything JARVIS saved.
