Computex 2024 | Nvidia's Project G-Assist gives gaming tips in real time

At Computex 2024, Nvidia unveiled Project G-Assist - a new AI assistant that gives players real-time tips on weapons, tactics and game settings. In contrast to the April Fool's joke from 2017 where Nvidia presented the GeForce GTX G-Assist - a USB stick that played games automatically - Project G-Assist offers real support in the form of text or audio hints.

If you look at titles such as Elden Ring, it is noticeable that computer games are becoming increasingly complex. It can take a while to get to grips with a new game and internalize all the mechanics. This is exactly where Project G-Assist comes in. Using text or voice input, gamers can ask the AI questions about the game and receive a personalized answer - for example, "Where is the next quest giver?" or "Which weapon should I use here?".

In a technical demonstration with the game ARK: Survival Ascended project G-Assist showed off its skills. For example, he recommends the spear as the best weapon for the start of the game and gives detailed instructions on collecting materials and taming dinosaurs.
