VERSION

This is version 2.0 Legacy of the Inworld Unity SDK (for previous Unity Asset Store users of the SDK). To upgrade from 2.0 to 3.0, please check our documentation.

3.0 of our Unity SDK represents the most up-to-date and full-featured version of the Inworld Character Engine. It supports multiple protocols (Websocket, NDK) and is compatible with all platforms.

There is a Lite version of 3.0 that supports lightweight projects with a significantly smaller download size. It does not include any character models from ReadyPlayerMe or Inworld avatars, so is suitable for developers with capabilities to import their own character skeletons and animations in Unity. Ideal for WebGL deployments or projects where package size is a consideration.

WHY USE INWORLD?

💫 Create living, breathing characters powered by advanced AI

Inworld AI characters have their own personalities, thoughts and behaviors based on the profiles you create for them. They’ll come up with their own responses, feel emotions and develop memories – just like real-life characters would.

🧠 Go beyond dialogue

Unlike chatbots, Inworld powers multimodal character expression by orchestrating multiple machine learning models that are designed to mimic the full-range of human communication. Smart NPCs can learn and adapt, navigate relationships with emotional intelligence, have memory and recall, and are capable of autonomously initiating goals, performing actions, and following their own motivations that can drive the narrative and integrate with the broader player experience.

👕 Compatible with any avatar or character design

Inworld powers characters' brains and dialogue, meaning that you can use any character design or avatar system, 2D or 3D.

🪄 No coding required

To build a new character, simply describe your character in natural language and use our drop-downs and draggable sliders to configure their traits. It’s intuitive and easy.

👋 Natural interactions

Players can communicate naturally with your characters like never before. There’s no need to script dialogue and behavior trees – just create your characters and let Inworld’s powerful character AI engine do the rest.

🏗️ Highly configurable

Tailor your character’s identity, motivations, role, hobbies and interests, personality, mood, personal and common knowledge, dialogue style and more.

🚀 Production ready

Embed and deploy your AI characters immediately into your game or other immersive realities, from metaverses to VR/AR, web experiences, and other virtual environments. We offer a comprehensive package for Unity, and a flexible API so you can bring your characters to any experience, regardless of the platform.
