Mac permissions, and Jarvis can't hear me or see my screen
Agently for Mac needs three macOS permissions, asked in setup's "Let me work on this Mac" card in this order: Accessibility (to read windows and point), Microphone (to talk to Jarvis) and Screen Recording (to see the screen). Choose Start and Jarvis points at each Allow; when macOS opens System Settings › Privacy & Security, switch Agently on there. Screen Recording works only after Agently reopens: choose Quit & Reopen and setup picks up where it was. Speech Recognition (for "Hey, Jarvis"), Notifications and the Desktop, Documents and Downloads folders are asked only when you want them. Skipped one? The same card comes back the moment something needs it, and after an update that took one away. If Jarvis can't hear you, allow Agently under Microphone in System Settings › Privacy & Security and try again; if he can't see your screen, allow it under Screen Recording and Accessibility, then reopen Agently. Switched on and still not ticked? Choose "Reset and try again" on the card. There is no permissions page in Agently's Settings. Jarvis reaches your screen and files only while Settings (foot of the rail) › General › Jarvis can use this Mac is on (see "Let Jarvis use your Mac").
