# Pre-built UI Prefabs

We provide several UI options to display character and user's transcript out of the box that players can use with the Convai Plugin. You can use and customize these prefabs. 

The ConvaiNPC and ConvaiGRPCAPI scripts look for GameObjects with Convai Chat UI Handler as a component, and send any transcripts to the script so that it can be displayed on screen.
