# Getting Started with Unity Plugin

## Introduction

The Convai Unity SDK lets you bring real-time conversational AI into your Unity projects—ideal for NPC dialogue, voice interactions, and interactive character experiences.

This Getting Started section is designed to guide you from a fresh Unity project to a successful “first conversation” using either a sample scene or your own custom scene.
