Imagine More with Unity AI

Imagine a world where artificial intelligence (AI) subtly influences every facet of the creative process. Whether it's systems, objects, pixels, or even runtime characters and experiences - everything touched by AI evolves, paving the way for extraordinary digital interactions.

Consider an AI assistant that helps boost productivity, without stepping on the toes of artistic vision. It's all about harnessing the power of AI to create unique in-game features, breathing new life into player experiences and making content more responsive and engaging for users. Unity, being at the forefront of innovation, has been developing a suite of AI tools to make this vision a reality. These tools have the power to transform workflows, finding information and generating draft assets in record time. And the best part? They integrate seamlessly with the existing toolkit, facilitating the revision and editing process.

Today marks a milestone in this journey with the introduction of two new AI products - Unity Muse and Unity Sentis. Designed to support creators of all levels, these platforms are set to revolutionise the way creativity unfolds in Unity.

Unity Muse: An Artistic Ally

Unity Muse is like a trusty sidekick in the realm of AI platforms, accelerating the creation of real-time 3D applications and experiences. Think video games and digital twins! Muse aims to make the Unity Editor a place where nearly anything can be created, using straightforward inputs like text prompts and sketches. Take the Muse Chat for example, a new feature currently in closed beta. It's like having a virtual assistant, providing accurate, up-to-date information from Unity's extensive resources to speed up development and troubleshoot issues. And that's just the start. In the coming months, Muse plans to add even more features, enabling creators to design textures, sprites, and even animate characters, all using natural input.

Unity Sentis: A Game Changer

Sentis, on the other hand, is a revolutionary tool that could genuinely change the game. It acts as a bridge, connecting neural networks with the Unity Runtime, but the potential it unlocks is mind-boggling. Imagine embedding an AI model into the Unity Runtime of a game or application. This capability, which Sentis makes possible, can drastically enhance gameplay and other functions right on the user's platform. Not only that, but Sentis provides a cross-platform solution, allowing AI models to run on any device where Unity operates. This eliminates any complexities or costs associated with cloud-based model hosting.

Exciting Third-Party AI Solutions Ahead

Beyond Unity Muse and Sentis, Unity is also set to launch AI Verified Solutions - a series of third-party packages that pass Unity's stringent quality and compatibility tests. These packages, available on the Unity Asset Store, offer AI-powered smart NPCs, AI-produced VFX, textures, 2D sprites and 3D models, generative speech, in-gaming testing with AI, and more.

Be Part of this Exciting Journey

To keep up with the latest AI beta offerings, consider joining the Unity AI Beta Program and participating in discussions on the Muse and Sentis forums. It's thrilling to think about the boundless creative potential that could be unlocked with Unity Muse, Sentis, and the growing ecosystem of AI Verified Solutions on the Unity Asset Store. Who knows what new avenues of creativity and innovation they'll help pave?
