Alongside Ace and RTX Remixnvidia also deploys a series of updates for Project G-Assist in order to make the assistant on the device more practical for PC players and DIY enthusiasts.
G-Assist now acts more as a control center for current tasks normally buried in utilities and control panels. Through voice or text, it can perform performance diagnoses, display or represent the frame rate, latency and GPU temperatures, and even adjust GPU or peripheral parameters such as keyboard lighting. The assistant will continue to operate locally.
This update is based on a faster and more effective AI model in terms of memory. Nvidia says that the answers are faster while using 40 % less memory, which allows G-Assist to operate on a wider range of equipment, including laptops and office GPUs with 6 GB of VRAM or more. The installation is quite simple: update with the latest Game Ready driver, install the NVIDIA application, download the G-Assist update from the home screen, then press Alt+G to invoke it.
Nvidia also launches a G-Assist Plug-in Hub in collaboration with Mod.io. This hub allows users to find, download and manage original and community plug-ins, including by asking G-Assist to install them directly. The recent efforts of the community during a hackathon illustrate how the tool can be extended: omniplay to access wiki or take notes in the game, Launchpad to launch and switch groups of personalized applications, and NIM (Nvidia inference microservice) flow to generate images with NIMs on the device.
For creators, Nvidia publishes a simple path to build plug-ins with JSON and PYTON, as well as a Plug-In Builder which supports the scaffolding in natural language. An update in September will add specific commands to laptops, including hooks for Batteryboost and Battery Ops.
