This Unity tutorial shows you how to add a Convai-powered Tour Guide character for your 3D virtual environments. Convais Narrative Design Feature lets creators add spatial anchors in the 3D environment which guides the 3D AI character to navigate the world while following step-by-step instructions. The character follows instruction prompts combined with the spatial anchors while conversing with the user in a contextual open-ended manner. This enables a whole set of use cases from onboarding, tour guides, companion characters, tutor characters, and many more. Check out this demo and tutorial on how to build this in Unity. We are also releasing the sample project source code along with the tutorial to get you started.Download the free Sample project files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ddaxaRmdh_BTwO41KkipqwtD18Q11kYX/view?usp=drivesdk Unity Asset Store plugin link: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/behavior-ai/npc-ai-engine-dialog-actions-voice-and-lipsync-convai-235621 Character Details:Name: Christina SmithID: 84434252-3776-11ef-a746-42010a7be00eNarrative Design Walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn_7tCx0Chip2mfSbOkqJLevEbm3jDuNV Convai Documentation: https://docs.convai.com/api-docs/plugins-and-integrations/unity-plugin/tutorials/narrative-design Unity Factory Scene HDRP: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/industrial/unity-factory-276400 Sign up at https://convai.com to try it out.

A crucial element in creating lifelike AI characters is enabling them with the ability to generate actions. This includes how your AI character responds, interacts within its environment, and carries out certain tasks autonomously. Convai-powered characters can easily navigate complex verbal instructions and convert them into natural actions, such as following you, fetching items, performing meaningful animations and many more. Ready to create AI Characters that can seamlessly perform complex actions? Watch the full tutorial to get started! Visit Convai to learn more.

At Convai, we believe that simulations that closely approximate reality are stronger grounds for AI to evolve further and understand the world similar to how a human does. With such simulations, AI can achieve spatial understanding, engage in social interactions with various characters (both real humans and other AIs), have goals, objectives, and memories, and achieve agency that would lead to emergent properties along with social skills. One such great simulation came from the Unreal Engine team a few years ago with The Matrix Awakens Demo, and in this tutorial, we are enabling that project with Convai. Well guide you through integrating AI into hundreds of characters, turning them from static entities into lifelike characters capable of spatial awareness, dynamic interactions, goals, and memories. This is a step toward persistent virtual worlds where AI characters evolve with their own objectives, similar to the evolving characters seen in the Free Guy movie.Join us as we break down blueprints, tackle complexity, and unlock the future of AI-driven characters for virtual worlds.#UnrealEngine #AI #VirtualWorlds #TheMatrixAwakensSign up at https://convai.com to try it out.
