Open and use Assistant

Open Assistant in the Unity Editor and interact with it using natural-language prompts.

Assistant works in a conversation-based interface. You can ask questions, request suggestions, or instruct Assistant to perform actions in your project.

Start a conversation

To begin using Assistant:

  1. Open the Assistant window.

  2. Select a mode:

    • Ask mode provides guidance and explanations.
    • Agent mode performs actions in your project with your approval.

  3. (Optional) Attach relevant project data using the + button.

  4. Enter your question or instruction in the text field.

  5. Submit the prompt.

    Assistant displays responses in the conversation area.

Review tool activity and permissions

When Assistant performs actions in the Agent mode:

  • A permission prompt appears before changes are applied.
  • Tools activity entries appear in the conversation.
  • You can expand tool entries to review parameters and results.

Assistant creates or modifies assets only after you grant approval.

Discover available capabilities

You can explore what Assistant can do by asking questions such as:

  • What skills are available in this project?
  • What can you help me with?
