Hello @Kyle_Bennett, **Welcome to the Convai Developer Forum!** Please avoid sharing your API Key publicly. I’ve removed your log message for security reasons. From what I can see, the logs don’t include any action responses from Convai. Could you let us know if your project is based on Blueprints or C++? This will help us guide you better. ---

That’s not really helpful advice, a lot of our codebase is in c++ and Convai should work with c++ ---

Yes, I know. I’m trying to see if it works with the BP setup for you. ---

how does that fix my issue if it works in blueprints? My project is in C++. Could you provide some more helpful advice as to how I would go about debugging the issue in C++? ---

It’s because other people, such as I, are having the same issue so they are trying to isolate the problem in order to fix it. For what it’s worth, I was able to reproduce the issue on other machines. A Band-Aid Solution\*(?) Currently I’m trying to compile all my C++ code into a Plugin so that I can use it in a Blueprint Project but I haven’t been able to get it to work properly yet because of all the different dependencies. But you might be luckier than me. ---

In the Start Talking function, the “Generate Actions” option is disabled. If you enable it, everything should work as expected. ---
