By The company is extremely proud of g-Assist, Nvidia’s new “AI” companion that operates on top of an ongoing game and assists you with hardware tweaks or advice. It appears that the business is now getting ready to increase its capacity. The tool’s tendrils are already spreading to other services thanks to a new framework for creating plugins and several examples.
The G-Assist API is already available to normal developers, but Nvidia has created a Plugin Builder in the hopes that more everyday users will join in. Even a total beginner can “vibe code” and connect it to anything that has an open API or a similar configuration by using ChatGPT’s generative code features.
To determine whether a Twitch streamer is live, the user in the video above asks the Plugin Builder tool to construct a plugin. The user then talks through the process of creating and installing the plugin. In two minutes, it goes from a text prompt to a working piece of code, which is quite seamless (albeit I believe it assumes a lot of how-to expertise on the user’s behalf).
To connect the system to Twitch, Spotify, Google Gemini, and peripheral and lighting control for Logitech, Corsair, and Nanoleaf, Nvidia has already developed what it refers to as “official” G-Assist plugins, which are all accessible on GitHub. According to Nvidia, it plans to develop additional plugins in the future.
The official Nvidia app now offers Nvidia G-Assist, which, of course, requires a GPU from the RTX 30-series or later to function.
