Has Batman ever built an AI assistant, similar to Iron Man's JARVIS? Batman has a very high IQ so he should be able to build this. Are there any comics where he has built an AI assistant?

2Do you mean in-armor, or would the occasional times Batman was the creator of Brother Eye count?– JenayahJun 18, 2021 at 7:24

Yeah I mean in-armor AI assistants like JARVIS or FRIDAY for Ironman and Karen for Spiderman.– codeczarJun 18, 2021 at 7:32

1Hopefully you're aware that, in comics, Jarvis is a human butler and not an AI.– Daniel R. CollinsJun 18, 2021 at 20:45

In the execrable Batman: Digital Justice, we learn that Batman, after retiring from public life, spent years developing the Batcomputer into a sentient artificial intelligence capable of controlling objects inside "the net" as well as hacking real-world objects outside of it.
His grandson takes over the family business and the 'Batcomp' provides him with a high-tech suit with which it can interface directly (Jarvis-like), in order to provide digital support.

14For the avoidance of doubt, yes, this was a real comic and yes, the artwork looks like it was made in MS Paint.– ValorumJun 18, 2021 at 7:42

Yes.
Batman created a sentient satellite named Brother Eye after he found out his memory had been altered without his knowledge or consent. He basically used Brother Eye to create a database of every detail of every hero or villain on Earth so that if anybody changed his memory again, he would have all the facts there to correct it.
Predictably, a villain found out about it and hacked it to respond to him instead. He hooked it into another ill-advised program called OMAC that could turn regular people into mechanized attack drones. This effectively gave the villain control over everybody on Earth and undoing all of that was most of what Batman was up to during the Infinite Crisis event.
Hilariously, when he explains the situation to Jaime Reyes without the background, Jaime asks what twisted supervillain thought creating a sentient satellite to spy on everybody in the world was a good idea. Batman responds, "Do me a favor, Jaime. Don't tell Green Arrow you said that."
