Scripted dialogue also known as barks in game dev has been the way NPCs utter dialogues in virtual worlds. Now with AI-powered characters, these characters can have a generated conversation based on environment cues, character backgrounds, or even prompted topics. When various characters interact with each other it brings the environment to life and AI-powered characters keep the conversation fresh, lively, and topical, always. Whether youre building characters for learning and training environments, social virtual worlds, or games, such AI-to-AI conversations would become an essential component to engage and immerse your users. In this tutorial, well guide you on configuring the Group NPC control feature within your Convai SDK for Unity. This enables the Convai-powered AI NPCs in your Unity projects to interact with each other, in a real-time generated manner, about conversation topics you provide them. You can also interrupt the conversation between these AI NPCs, and join in on their chat too! We are also providing a test project that we created using this feature for you to try for yourself (linked below).
