NVIDIA has recently announced a Plug-In Hackathon initiative, dubbed "AIonRTXHackathon," which invites developers to explore the capabilities of its experimental AI assistant, Project G-Assist. This innovative platform allows users to control their NVIDIA GeForce RTX systems using natural language, thanks to a small language model that runs on device.
Project G-Assist enables users to expand its capabilities via plug-ins, making it an attractive tool for developers seeking to enhance PC and gaming workflows. The AI assistant's versatility lies in its ability to be integrated with agentic frameworks such as Langflow, which provides endless possibilities for building custom plug-ins.
The NVIDIA App Overlay allows users to utilize Project G-Assist without requiring them to switch programs or tab out of their current application. This convenient feature ensures seamless interaction between the user and the AI assistant. Moreover, popular plug-in samples are available on GitHub, showcasing diverse ways in which on-device AI can be utilized.
Developers interested in participating in the hackathon must create a GitHub repository, providing source code files (plugin.py), requirements.txt, manifest.json, config.json (if applicable), a plug-in executable file, and README code. Following this, participants are required to submit a video showcasing their plug-in's capabilities, with a duration ranging from 30 seconds to two minutes.
To promote their project, developers must utilize the hashtag #AIonRTXHackathon on social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, or X. A designated form allows participants to submit their projects by Wednesday, July 16.
Judging criteria for the hackathon includes innovation and creativity, technical execution and integration, usability, and community impact. Winners will receive substantial prizes, including a GeForce RTX 5090 laptop for first place, a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU for second place, and a GeForce RTX 5070 GPU for third place.
To get started with this exciting initiative, developers can access the G-Assist Plug-In Builder — a ChatGPT-based app that enables no-code or low-code development with natural language commands. This tool facilitates rapid creation of plug-ins, catering to both seasoned developers and newcomers alike.
By empowering developers to build next-gen tools using Project G-Assist, NVIDIA's AIonRTXHackathon presents a unique opportunity for the global community to contribute to the advancement of AI technology.
