# Creating Your AI Simulation with Convai Sim

Bring your Convai characters to life by placing them into 3D interactive environments using Convai Sim

Now that you’ve created a Convai character, it’s time to place them into a 3D simulation. With Convai Sim, you can bring characters to life inside immersive environments—fully interactive and embodied in high-quality avatars.

**My Experiences** holds both kinds of Convai experience: 3D experiences, which this page covers, and chat experiences, which are text rooms rather than 3D scenes. To compare the two before you start, see:

{% endcontent-ref %}

***

### Build the simulation

#### 1. Open My Experiences

Go to <code class="expression">space.vars.dashboard\_url</code> and sign in to your Convai account. In the left sidebar, select **My Experiences**.

#### 2. Create a 3D Experience

A 3D experience is a Convai Sim simulation: your characters placed in a scene you can walk around in. On the **My Experiences** page, click **Create a 3D Experience**. The **Start a new Experience** dialog opens.

#### 3. Choose an Environment

Select an environment that fits your use case (e.g., office, museum, sci-fi room). Then click **“Start Experience”** to enter the Convai Sim.

#### 4. Explore the Scene

Once the scene loads:

* Use **WASD keys** to move around.
* Use your **mouse** to look around the environment — just like in a first-person game.

#### 5. Add an Avatar

Click the **top-left icon** to open the avatar menu. Then:

* Click **“Add Avatar”**.
* A hologram will appear — place it at the desired location in the scene.

#### 6. Select Your Character and Avatar

You’ll be prompted to:

* Choose your previously created **Convai character**.
* Select a **Metahuman avatar** to visually represent that character.

#### 7. Deploy the Character

Click **“Deploy Character”** to spawn the avatar into the environment. The avatar will now be active and ready to interact.

#### 8. Add More Avatars (Optional)

Repeat the process to add **multiple characters** into the same scene and create more dynamic simulations.

### Next steps

The scene is now running with your character deployed in it. Adjust that avatar’s model, size, and placement in the scene next.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.convai.com/api-docs/no-code-experiences/convai-sim-experiences/creating-your-ai-simulation-with-convai-sim.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
