About Assistant
Assistant is a generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool integrated into the Unity Editor to help you automate tasks, generate code, and access project-specific information.
Assistant supports three modes of operation for handling queries and tasks:
- /ask mode: provides answers, references documentation, or retrieves project-specific details without changing your project files.
- /run mode: automates repetitive tasks by generating functional scripts that can execute changes directly in the Unity Editor.
- /code mode: generates and reviews customizable C# code snippets that interact with the Unity API.
For best results, use Assistant with Unity 6 or later.
Prerequisites
Before you can use the AI menu and tools in the Unity Editor, ensure that:
