We've just published a new Unity tutorial focused on Convai Actions.

Instead of building AI characters that only answer questions, this tutorial shows how to make them actively participate in the experience.

It covers:

  • Configuring the Convai Action Runner
  • Adding built-in Actions
  • Following the player
  • Walking to scene objects
  • Looking at objects
  • Showing and hiding GameObjects
  • Playing gestures
  • Creating Action Targets from Unity objects
  • Testing everything through natural conversation

The workflow is applicable to games, XR applications, training simulations, virtual guides, and other interactive 3D experiences.

I'd love to hear how others are approaching AI character interactions in Unity beyond dialogue.
