It started with a simple frustration. Every conversation with Alexa felt like talking to someone with amnesia. "Alexa, remember my daughter's birthday is March 15th." Five minutes later: "Alexa, when is my daughter's birthday?" Silence. Or worse, "I don't have that information."
In 2024, with all our advances in AI, this felt fundamentally broken. So I decided to fix it.
What began as a weekend project to give Alexa memory capabilities evolved into a full-scale implementation of a production-ready RAG system. This is the story of how I built "My Jarvis" - an Alexa skill that not only remembers but understands context, manages knowledge bases, and even suggests reminders.
