NVIDIA's Project G-Assist: an innovative AI that will customise the game, help with walkthroughs, and explain all the nuances of the plot

Microsoft recently announced that it will soon integrate its AI assistant Copilot into the gaming space, where it will provide hints, dialogue and help complete tasks in PC and Xbox games.

At Computex 2024, NVIDIA unveiled a similar technology that could change the way we interact with video games.

Here's What We Know

The American company announced Project G-Assist - an advanced artificial intelligence available to users of RTX series graphics cards.

NVIDIA Project G-Assist works on the principle of familiar neural networks and language models: it accepts voice or text queries about any element of the game and gives contextually based hints and tips, and the assistant is able not just to tell you, for example, which weapon to choose or which task to complete first, but even explain the plot, backstory and history of the world of almost any game. Project G-Assist can provide you with a screenshot and it will explain what it shows or what to do next.

G-Assist models can be customised by developers for a specific game or app, providing a high degree of accuracy and detail in the answers. They can be run in the cloud or natively on GeForce RTX AI computers or laptops.

If a user needs a more in-depth answer, G-Assist will provide the appropriate online sources.

NVIDIA demonstrated the hinting capabilities with ARK: Survival Ascended:

In addition to hints and tips about the game, NVIDIA Project G-Assist can analyse the characteristics of the user's computer and independently tune the game for optimal performance and stability.

This way, gamers don't have to spend hours trying to tune the game and figure out why it's causing low frame rates, incorrect performance, or frequent crashes to the desktop. This feature was demonstrated in one of the most technologically advanced games to date, Cyberpunk 2077.
