Until now, the Assistant has primarily supported UEFN. With this update, it can also handle Unreal Engine 5.6 documentation questions and generate relevant C++ code.
Looking ahead, Unreal Engine 5.7 will bring the Assistant directly into the Unreal Editor itself. On the UEFN side, we’ve also added support for scenegraph.
The Epic Developer Assistant will continue to evolve, and we’d love to hear your feedback as well as see what you build with its help.
Users can easily switch between the UE and UEFN assistants using the dropdown menu on the page.
im personally not interested in llm assistants. i’d rather epic focus on other areas.
i’m also concerned they will generate a lot of misinformation and confusion. as i’m already seeing that happening in the forums. people coming saying that an llm told them to do something that did not exist.
After spending some time working out a local setup for LLM training, agentic workflows, RAG stuff targeting UE documentation… I was very happy to see Epic take the leap and started this adventure in-house. They certainly have more resources than I do, as well as more know-how!
Having an assistant trained specifically on UE information will be godsend. Even with 20+ years of chiseling and hammering away with the engine, I’m constantly referring to docs. This will go a long way to make research endeavors more efficient.
I’ve yet to put the assistant through its paces, but I’m sure it’ll be rough to start concerning accuracy and relevance. As with all things AI in these wild times, we should be double checking responses. Granted, we should be doing that with human-sourced information, too…
Excellent feature ! i was waiting for this for a long, i just hope that Epic’s LLM don’t go crazy with miss information getting the max amount of context before teaching stuff specially for new-comers like me, is really more simple to ask specific concept or feature that go to the docs and spend several minutes scrolling searching for specific answers !
Feature suggestion:
Ai can index , looking same questions with solved or to be solved topics if Ai can’t help too much or already helped someone with the same problem before, this has the potential to Save a lot of processing power of Epics LLMs servers and don’t push devs to a queue
This could also allow the AI to extract valuable usage data for Unreal Engine engineers, helping them design a more intuitive interface and a refined feature set. By identifying features that cause confusion for both new and experienced developers, Epic could reshape workflows and improve usability. This approach has the potential to transform Unreal into the ultimate beginner-friendly creation tool, empowering creators
-I’m Brazilian sorry for the broken English hope you guys understand what i’m saying
