TL;DR: NVIDIA's Project G-Assist is an AI assistant for GeForce RTX desktop owners, designed to optimize PC settings using voice or text commands. It can manage game settings, overclock GPUs, and control peripherals. Powered by a custom Small Language Model, it interprets natural language to provide detailed performance insights and hardware information.

NVIDIA has released an "experimental version" of its Project G-Assist System Assistant, which we previewed back at Computex 2024. Available for GeForce RTX desktop owners (GeForce RTX laptop support is coming in a future update) via the NVIDIA App, the AI assistant will simplify optimizing your PC if you have a GPU with at least 12GB of VRAM.

"G-Assist helps users control a wide range of PC settings, from optimizing game and system settings, charting frame rates and other key performance statistics, to controlling select peripheral settings such as lighting - all via basic voice or text commands," NVIDIA explains.

Project G-Assist is powered by a custom Small Language Model (SLM) using a Llama-based Instruct model with 8 billion parameters to interpret natural language. This means you can ask it about your PC's hardware, explain what DLSS or other RTX technologies do, and provide detailed performance. You can even use it to overclock your GPU or change your display settings.
