Nvidia presents G-Assist, generative AI for gamers

The joke of 2017 becomes reality. An Nvidia AI that gives you advice within games, and optimizes your PC.

There are hundreds of generative AIs, but it is strange that none of them are focused on video games. Nvidia breaks the ice with G-Assist, its new AI designed for gamers.

G-Assist is a generative artificial intelligence that gives you advice and answers questions while you playreplacing the walkthroughs, and game guides. It is also capable of analyzing your PC and optimizing it for a certain game.

It is a new aid that will work locally with an RTX card, but could also do so in the cloud, if you do not have such a card.

This is how G-Assist works

G-Assist is named after a joke April Fool’s that Nvidia implemented in 2017. That was the name of an artificial intelligence contained in a USB flash drive. You connected the skewer to the PC, and it could play for you while you opened the door to get the pizza you had ordered.

The 2024 G-Assist does not need a pendrive, but it is not capable of playing for you either. Works like a ChatGPT-type chatbot who answers questions and gives advice.

As you can see in this video, G-Assist analyzes your environment while you play, and is able to tell you how dangerous the enemy you have encountered is, or give you clues on how to defeat it:

Also can answer questions about the game. For example, you can ask him where to go to the mission objective, or what the components are to make a weapon, and where to find them. Works with both text and voice.

For this to be possible, The AI ​​must have been trained with information from the gameso we assume that G-Assist will be implemented game by game, a bit like what happens now with DLSS.

In addition to becoming an assistant while you play, and at the same time retiring the walkthroughs and the game guides that have accompanied us for decades, It is also capable of optimizing your PC based on each game.

You can ask it to optimize the graphics to maintain 60 fps, or not to exceed a certain consumption, if you are playing on a laptop with a battery.

Microsoft introduced a similar Copilot+ feature a few days ago, which offers you advice in Minecraft and other games from the company.

G-Assist, Nvidia’s generative AI designed for gamers, is still in development. Nvidia has not yet revealed when we can test it.

Known how we work on Computertoday.
