Dynamic context

Find all Dynamic Context guides — feed live state and events to characters from Inspector or C# and verify context-aware dialogue.

Dynamic Context gives Convai characters real-time awareness of what is happening in the scene. Characters can reference live conditions — a trainee's current location, equipment collected, hazards triggered, or checkpoint status — and incorporate that information naturally into dialogue. Updates flow through two entry points: the ConvaiDynamicContextCommand Inspector component (no code required) and the IConvaiDynamicContext scripting interface on ConvaiCharacter. Both write to the same underlying tracker and produce identical network behavior.
