NVIDIA’s Project G-Assist Plug-In Hackathon event is calling for more talented coders (No matter you’re vibing or not) to join in and help the experimental AI assistant become better at serving various gamers in their gaming needs.
For those who don’t know, G-Assist Plug-In is a kind of custom add-on that helps extend the capabilities of NVIDIA G-Assist developed via its open framework. For example, certain functions have been demonstrated beginning last year, from controlling your PC with voice/text and managing peripheral lights to launching other software.
Supporting multiple coding languages, NVIDIA recommends Python for rapid development that serves simple and lightweight functions, while mission-critical and powerful features can be done in C++. What’s more, automation between hardware and the OS can be done with custom code for additional interactions curated to specific demands.
The entire hackathon process goes as below:
- Join the fray via this link, and fill in your info
- Start building your project, either through available resources through repositories and communities, or just straight into the real deal if you’re already familiar with the game
- Submit your entry that contains a dedicated GitHub repo that hosts the following
- Source Code File (plugin.py)
- Requirements.txt
- Manifest.json
- Config.sjon (If any)
- Plug-in Executable File
- Readme
- Also include a short video demoing the plugin (3o seconds to 2 minutes)
- Do promote your submission on X, Instagram, and/or TikTok with the hashtag #AIonRTXHackathon
Winning prizes include a GeForce RTX 5090-powered laptop, Founders Edition of the GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 desktop GPUs, as well as Deep Leaning Institute credits for further development use.
