Well, I guess that relieves the problem for the new “Jarvis” since the last one changed its name to something else, right?

You are all correct and this is something on our radar. We are considering changing the name to avoid any confusion.

Microsoft also seems to be using the "Jarvis" name in this repo https://github.com/microsoft/JARVIS, so it is not just the famous Iron Man series. Not sure how this will all play out.
