Sharing Project G-Assist from NVIDIA, an experimental AI assistant that runs locally on your GeForce RTX PC! Think of it as a co-pilot specifically for managing and optimizing your system, especially for gaming.
With simple voice or text commands, G-Assist can:
⚙️ Optimize System: Adjust performance and power settings. 🎮 Tweak Game Settings: Get help finding the best settings for your games. 📊 Monitor Performance: Chart FPS, latency, temps, and other stats in real-time.
💡 Control Peripherals: Change lighting on supported Logitech, Corsair, MSI, and Nanoleaf devices. ❓ Answer PC Questions: Get info about your hardware or NVIDIA software.
It uses a Llama-based SLM (8B parameters) running on your own GPU, making it responsive, free, and offline-capable. It's not meant to be a general chatbot like ChatGPT, but focused specifically on PC control and info.
What's particularly interesting is the plugin architecture. NVIDIA has released tools on GitHub for the community to build and share new functionalities for G-Assist (using Python or C++). They even provide a ChatGPT-powered "Plugin Builder" to help create them!
It's available now as an experimental feature via the NVIDIA App (initially for desktop RTX GPUs).
