An AI assistant that works inside Unreal Engine 5

Dola AI (dolaai.pro) is an AI assistant for Unreal Engine 5. It is two pieces: the Dola desktop app for Windows and Linux, and an Unreal Editor plugin that connects the open editor to that app over a local bridge. You describe a task in chat; specialist agents read your project, act in the running editor, and report what changed.

It is built for the Unreal loop: Blueprint graphs, levels, assets, materials, Play in Editor, and C++ source in the same project. If most of your day is generic code outside Unreal, a general AI IDE is the better primary tool, and many people use both.

• Blueprints: read graphs, find the right node, add and wire nodes, set variables and components, compile, save, and tidy the layout (Blueprint AI in detail).
• Editor actions in plain language: levels, assets and imports, materials, animation, Niagara, UI widgets, audio, Sequencer, gameplay AI assets, and project settings such as gameplay tags and default maps (editor actions).
• Engine API lookup: checks that classes, functions, and Blueprint nodes really exist in your engine before using them (Engine API reference).
• C++ source: new actor and component classes, UPROPERTY / UFUNCTION exposure, and fixes for build errors you paste in (C++ tools).
• Playtesting: Play in Editor runs with pass/fail checks, Unreal automation tests, and performance traces (playtesting and QA).
• Project knowledge: a local index of assets, Blueprints, levels, and dependencies, so answers fit your project (project knowledge).
• Safety rails: named checkpoints with rollback, and approval prompts in chat before risky actions such as plugin or config changes, new C++ classes, packaging, and force deletes (plans, checkpoints, and approvals).

Every tool, with example prompts and requirements, is in the tools reference.

• The plugin is published for Unreal Engine 5.7 only, for Windows and Linux editors. No macOS editor support, and no self-built (source) engines.
• Downloads need a free signed-in account; there is no public direct download link.
• Dola does not compile your C++ for you after each edit. You build in Unreal or your IDE as usual, and can paste errors back for a fix.
• Running Python scripts inside the editor is planned, not available yet.
• It is an editor teammate, not a runtime feature: it does not ship gameplay NPC AI inside your game (see NPC AI vs developer assistants).
• Modeling mode is a separate Babylon.js studio in the app that exports GLB, not the Unreal viewport.

Longer, honest write-ups: Dola AI vs Cursor, Claude Code for Unreal Engine, and Unreal Engine MCP and Dola.

Downloading Dola and creating an account are free. Running agents uses AI credits from a paid plan.

Monthly plans include AI credits:

• Indie: $10 per month, includes $10 of AI credits each paid month.
