ASUS ROG Updates Virtual Assistant With New AI Module

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today released a significant update to its bundled Virtual Assistant software (formerly known as Virtual Pet). This new software package comes preinstalled on the ROG Zephyrus G16 gaming laptop and leverages the incredible power of AI to significantly level up the capabilities of the Virtual Assistant, including an intelligent chat and Q&A interface, written document summarization, and voice transcription tools. This update is available on laptop models with AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processors as a free download via ASUS Live Update.

Intelligent chat support
The Virtual Assistant gives users a leg up when they're using an unfamiliar program or system tool. With a local chat and Q&A feature, even when disconnected from the internet, the Virtual Assistant can help users navigate complicated menus and activate the features and settings they need. For example, if a new user is looking to adjust fan settings, they can request that from the Virtual Assistant, and it will direct them to the appropriate settings menu within the Armoury Crate app. Applications like MyASUS, GlideX, and ProArt Creator Hub are supported, and the chat functionality adds a new layer of support for end users.
A powerful personal librarian
Utilizing the revolutionary Llama 3 language model, the Virtual Assistant also offers an incredibly accurate text document summarization feature. Known as the Librarian, this feature can take large, complex documents and efficiently summarize their contents and context. This allows users to easily search and cross-reference within a document using the Virtual Assistant chat bot. This approach drastically enhances the accessibility of complex documents, and like all the new Virtual Assistant features, operates locally on the machine to guarantee a user's data privacy.

Voice transcription
The third keystone feature of the Virtual Assistant is its brand-new transcription and summarization functionality. Based on the Whisper model, a pre-trained automatic speech recognition (ASR) model developed by OpenAI, the tool can accurately transcribe and summarize voice recordings. This allows for the quick creation of high value meeting minutes that offer the key insights from a conversation with minimal effort.

Support across the ASUS laptop family
This exciting new update to the Virtual Assistant comes preloaded on the AMD-powered Zephyrus G16, but is available as a free download across a selection of AI-ready laptops from the entire ASUS family. From TUF Gaming, the A14, A16, and A18 are supported, while ProArt supports both the PX13 and P16. The Zenbook S16 and the ASUS Vivobook S14 OLED, S15 OLED, and S16 OLED can all download the Virtual Assistant update via MyASUS, instantly unlocking the true potential of these incredible machines.
