Nvidia's AI Assistant on Windows Now Features Plugins for Spotify, Twitch, and More
Nvidia is taking its G-Assist AI assistant to new heights on Windows, moving beyond just tweaking game and system settings. Initially launched last month as a chatbot aimed at enhancing PC gaming experiences, G-Assist is now evolving with plugin support. This update allows the AI to extend its reach, letting you control Spotify, check if your favorite streamer is live on Twitch, and even keep tabs on stock prices or weather updates.
The introduction of the ChatGPT-based G-Assist plugin builder opens up a world of possibilities for developers and enthusiasts alike. They can now craft custom functionalities for Nvidia’s AI assistant, enabling G-Assist to connect with external tools and APIs to broaden its current capabilities.
Sample Plugins Available on GitHub
Nvidia has shared a variety of sample plugins on GitHub that users can compile and integrate with G-Assist:
- Spotify - Enjoy hands-free control over your music and volume.
- Google Gemini - This plugin lets G-Assist tap into Gemini for sophisticated, cloud-based conversations.
- Twitch - Simply ask, “Hey, Twitch, is [streamer] live?” to check if your favorite streamer is broadcasting.
- Peripheral Controls - Adjust RGB lighting or fan speed on devices from Logitech G, Corsair, MSI, and Nanoleaf.
- Stock Checker - Get real-time stock prices at your fingertips.
- Weather Updates - Stay updated on the current weather conditions in any city you choose.
These plugins operate locally, leveraging a small language model on Nvidia’s RTX GPUs. Developers can also share their custom plugins through GitHub, fostering a community-driven expansion of G-Assist’s capabilities. The AI assistant requires nearly 10GB of space for its functions and voice capabilities, and it's compatible with a range of RTX 30-, 40-, and 50-series desktop GPUs, provided you have at least 12GB of VRAM.
If you're keen on exploring G-Assist or perhaps even creating your own plugin, you can find the app as an optional feature within Nvidia’s main app for Windows.

플러그인이 추가되면서 G-Assist가 더 쿨해졌네요! Spotify와 Twitch 연동은 대박 아이디어 같아요. 윈도우 데스크탑에서 AI 어시스턴트를 사용하다니... 💻✨
