Hi everyone,  
I’m trying to make my Convai character in Unreal Engine 5 trigger a UI widget when the player says something like **“Show image of the park”** or **“Open the video”**.

My goal is:

- Player speaks to the Convai character

- Convai recognizes the command (for example: “open image”, “show video”, “show picture of the park”)

- UE5 receives the command

- A UI widget opens and displays an image or video

I’m not sure how to correctly set up the **Command / Intent in Convai** and how to catch it inside **Blueprint** to open the widget.
