Contenders have a chance to snag a laptop or graphics card in NVIDIA's G-Assist Add-On Hackathon Competition
Freely accessible through the NVIDIA app, Project G-Assist is NVIDIA's AI assistant, designed exclusively for GeForce RTX PCs. This assistant integrates effortlessly with voice or text commands and offers impressive customization options, empowering users to create unique plug-ins. In an attempt to spark creativity, NVIDIA has organized a virtually hosted Hackathon where one lucky developer stands to win a GeForce RTX 5090 laptop, with two runners-up receiving brand-new 5000 series graphics cards.
Whether you're a coding whiz or a beginner, you're invited to join the action. You'll have until July 16 to build and showcase your custom plug-ins, which can be crafted using Python, C++, or the G-Assist Plug-In Builder, a tool that simplifies the process by generating code based on natural language.
This week, check out the RTX AI Garage for insights on extending Project G-Assist, NVIDIA's experimental tool, with custom features. Submit your entry by providing a GitHub repository with the essentials: source code file, requirements, manifest, config (if needed), an executable plug-in, and a detailed README. Following that, create a video showcasing your plug-in, making sure it's between 30 seconds and two minutes long. Don't forget to share your creation on your social media channels (Instagram, TikTok, or X) using the hashtag #AIonRTXHackathon.
Entries will be evaluated based on innovation, technical execution, and usability, so make your plug-in stand out! Winners, announced on August 20, will walk away with impressive prizes, including a GeForce RTX 5090 laptop, a GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, or a GeForce RTX 5070 GPU. Plus, you'll gain recognition on NVIDIA's social media channels, a chance to meet the G-Assist team, and an opportunity to snag an NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute self-paced course credit.
NVIDIA provides ample resources for participants, including a webinar on building G-Assist Plug-Ins, a technical blog on developing plug-ins, sample plug-ins on GitHub, and a dedicated Discord channel for support. So, gear up, coders, and let your creativity flourish in this exciting hackathon challenge!
- The G-Assist Plug-In Builder, simplifying the process of crafting custom plug-ins, generates code based on natural language, which is a creative and user-friendly design feature.
- To extend Project G-Assist, NVIDIA's experimental tool, you can refer to the RTX AI Garage for insights on adding custom features, a task that requires a mix of artistic flair (art) and technical expertise (technology and coding languages like Python and C++).
- Your created plug-in, showcased in a video preview (poster), should be available on your GitHub repository, alongside essentials such as source code file, requirements, manifest, config (if needed), and an executable plug-in, all encased within a detailed README.
- Amidst the clutter of gadgets and smartphones, the exciting prizes for this Hackathon stand out, boasting high-end graphics cards like the GeForce RTX 5090 (for the winner), GeForce RTX 5080, and GeForce RTX 5070.
- With cutting-edge technology backing it, Project G-Assist is more than just a 3D art project; it's a prime example of artificial intelligence integration (artificial-intelligence) in the field of UX (User Experience) and UI (User Interface).
- As part of the Hackathon event, winners will garner not only hardware rewards but also recognition on NVIDIA's social media channels, bringing their creative work to a wider tech-savvy audience (smartphones and Instagram).
- During this Hackathon, NVIDIA's resources will be an aid to participants, offering guides on building G-Assist Plug-Ins through a webinar, technical blogs, sample plug-ins on GitHub, and a dedicated Discord channel for supporters, ensuring that your learning journey is smooth and fruitful.
