We’re always looking for ways to streamline Unity creators’ workflows and make development easier. Muse Chat, the AI-powered assistant integration for the Unity Editor, was introduced as a tool to accelerate this aim. In this blog post, we’ll explore some tips and tricks to help you get the most out of Muse Chat, including effective prompting strategies and new features to enhance the context given to chat.Before we dive in, it’s crucial to understand that Muse Chat isn’t just a chatbot – it’s a context-aware AI assistant that understands your Unity project. This means that Chat can read relevant information based on the subject you’re asking about, such as parsing your physics settings or debugging an attached item, all to provide more relevant and accurate assistance based on your current scenario.The key to unlocking Muse Chat’s full potential lies in how you frame your questions and requests. Here’s how to tailor your queries and the context you provide about your project.Be overly specific: Instead of asking “How do I optimize my game?”, try "What are three ways to improve frame rate in a mobile 3D platformer?” or “How can I optimize the rendering of my particle system in the current scene?”Split up your prompt: If you have a longer prompt, split it up so it’s more digestible and can be addressed step by step in the response. For example, say “Set up a script to make a character jump when pressing the spacebar. Then, add a cooldown between jumps, and lastly, adjust the jump height slightly higher than the default setting.”Use focused language: Clarify what you are looking to understand and specify what the name is of the attached item(s). This could look like “Why is the attached Ball_0 passing through the Floor_0?”Rely on technical language: Muse Chat understands Unity-specific terms, so don’t hesitate to use them. “What’s the difference between using OnCollisionEnter and OnTriggerEnter?”Provide context on intent: Give Muse Chat relevant information about the contents and goals of your project. For example: “I’m working on a 2D puzzle game with complex particle systems. How can I optimize performance on low-end devices?” No need to specify the Editor version or project settings – Muse already knows.Clarify your level of familiarity: Do you have deep experience or understanding of Unity? Or, are you still new in your development journey and need more basics explained to you? Let Muse know to get answers more tailored to your level of expertise.Ask for step-by-step guidance: When tackling complex tasks, request detailed instructions. “Can you provide a step-by-step guide for setting up a basic inventory system using ScriptableObjects?”Explore alternatives: Ask Muse Chat to compare different approaches. “What are the pros and cons of using NavMesh vs A* pathfinding for an RTS game?”Generate scripts: Use Muse to get boilerplate code to iterate on. For example: “Write a script to implement player health regeneration over time.”Document your code: Attach your script to the conversation and then ask Muse to comment or document your code.If at any point you’re unsure how to get the most out of Chat or the answer is not really hitting the mark, ask again! Muse Chat can not only instruct you how to best phrase a prompt to get the outcome you are looking for, but also adjust its response based on whatever new or clarifying information you provide. Based on your feedback, we’re providing a new way to attach items to your prompts. This opens up a realm of possibilities to get even more tailored responses back from Muse. Now, you’re able to attach:GameObjects: Drag and drop items from your project hierarchy into the Muse Chat window to get more precise responses to your queries.Assets: Attach items from your project folder to provide targeted advice, then drag them into the Chat window. For example: “How can I adjust this material to achieve a more realistic metal look?”Code: Attach a script from your assets, then ask Muse to analyze the script or describe its purpose.Console logs: Select a console message, attach it in the Chat window, and ask Muse for potential solutions.Multi-select: Drag and drop to attach items and reference them across both your hierarchy and asset folder.To utilize attachments, simply drag and drop, or click “Attach Item” next to the chat input field and select the item(s) you want to include with your prompt. Then, to further draw focus to the attachment, you can refer to it in your question; “How do I fix this [console error]?” or “Why are the two attached objects not bouncing off each other. What should I check?”Muse Chat is a helpful companion in your Unity development journey. Instead of searching through documentation and online resources to find a solution relevant to your project’s unique settings or circumstances, Muse is there to support you.By crafting effective prompts, leveraging Muse Chat’s deep Editor integration, and taking advantage of attachment support, you can significantly enhance your productivity and problem-solving capabilities. Remember, the more you interact with Muse Chat, the better you’ll get at using it. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different types of queries and explore the full range of its abilities.If you’re curious about what the future looks like and how we’re taking Muse Chat to the next level with running commands to iterate on scenes and a code generator, make sure to sign up for experimental features. You’ll have the chance to try out this functionality and provide feedback before its wider release. To get added to the list for these experimental features, join the AI mailing list, and find us on Unity Discussions to talk about the latest Muse features and improvements.
