AI-powered code editor for game development
Unity AI
Unity's in-editor AI suite for code generation, asset creation, and scene building

Overview
Unity AI is Unity's official in-editor AI platform (successor to Unity Muse), launched in open beta in May 2026 for Unity 6. It bundles an AI assistant trained on Unity documentation, a generative asset toolkit (sprites, textures, materials, animations, sounds), and an AI Gateway for connecting external models like Claude, GPT, or Cursor directly into the Unity editor. Credits are included with paid Unity subscriptions; personal users get a free 14-day trial.
Best For
- Unity developers who want AI assistance without leaving the editor
- Teams with Unity Pro/Enterprise plans where credits are included
- Developers who want to connect Claude or Cursor directly into the Unity scene graph
