How to Teach an AI

Unreal Engine Questions
1

Sometimes I’d like to “Teach” the AI agent so it can learn but it seems every time I speak it wants to respond and not just listen? I need a listen mode and a respond mode?

Hello @George_Nonlin,

Welcome to the Convai Developer Forum!

You can try our Dynamic Environment Information feature.

I’m not looking to provide Environment context. I’m looking to verbally/textually “educate” the AI Agent without having to have it “invoke” a response.

Did you check the documentation?

So you are saying that this “Educates” the bot without having to invoke a response? But it can’t happen organically such as me saying “Listen and just learn”? I have to sort of toggle a button that is “Teach” mode and then feed the environment data to “Educate” and then toggle another button that is “Respond” mode and then ask it about what I taught it in teach mode?

There is no specific teaching mode.

If you want to dynamically update the character, you can check out the Dynamic Environment Info feature or you can update the Character Description with the API.

Dynamic Environment variable doesn’t exist for me to set from marketplace and I can’t get latest source from MAIN to work keeps complaining I don’t have a Character ID when I do.

Is there maybe a REST API so I can upload knowledge to the character at runtime?
