NVIDIA has extended the deadline for its Plug and Play: Project G-Assist Plug-In Hackathon, offering the community a final chance to expand the capabilities of its AI assistant. The hackathon, originally set to close on July 20 at 11:59pm PT, has been extended to allow more participants to submit their projects. Winners will receive an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 laptop or graphics card, along with NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute credits [1].

The hackathon invites participants to build custom plug-ins for Project G-Assist, an experimental AI assistant that allows users to control and optimize NVIDIA GeForce RTX systems using natural language. The AI assistant, available through the NVIDIA App, can be accessed directly from the NVIDIA overlay, eliminating the need to switch programs or leave the current application [1].

Participants can develop plug-ins using various programming languages, including Python for rapid development, C++ for performance-critical apps, and custom system interactions for hardware and operating system automation. The hackathon provides resources such as a webinar, a Discord community, and a GitHub repository with step-by-step instructions and documentation to help participants build their plug-ins [1].

The extension of the deadline comes as NVIDIA continues to encourage innovation and collaboration within the AI and gaming communities. The hackathon is part of NVIDIA's broader initiative to promote AI-driven solutions and creative workflows on AI PCs and workstations [1].

For more information about the hackathon, participants can visit the official entry page and explore the curated technical resources provided by RTX AI Garage. The deadline for submissions is now July 20 at 11:59pm PT [1].
