AI: UNITY - MUSE CHAT

A specialized assistant for Unity.

Muse Chat was the first Muse AI product for Unity and was initially released on the web. It features a chat like interface that utilizes a large language model that’s trained on the editor documentation to help you with everything from customizing specific settings in your project to helping you write code for your game.

We in the design team collaborated closely with engineering, product and marketing to release Muse Chat and create a brand around it, something beyond just blocks of text and input fields.

The design work featured the typical elements when designing for AI:

  1. Understanding what the technology does well and how this can solve specific problems for users that would otherwise be time consuming to solve.

  2. Finding the best way to contextualize the generated answers in a clear and usable UX, such as linking to documentation or making sure code output is clear and readable.

  3. Integrating a brand and tone of voice that is coherent with the company behind the product and that makes sense for the product experience.

 

The FTUE intents to create a direct but inviting onboarding for the user, showcasing what the AI can do by suggestions.

We worked a lot with the formatting of responses, to optimize for legibility and linking to external resources.
