In the center, a text input field labeled "Build with Unity" is visible, featuring an "Agent" dropdown, a settings icon, and a plus icon. A dropdown menu is open on the right side, showing a list of selectable options: Unity (with a checkmark), Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and Cursor.

A screenshot featuring a split-screen view: on the left is the Unity engine interface showing a 3D scene with a robot model, an "Importing assets" progress bar, and the project file hierarchy; on the right is a chat window titled "Move robot character up in Unity." The chat shows an AI agent (Claude) explaining its process for setting up a NavMesh system for the robot, including steps to "Compile and execute a C# script," use "Unity_RunCommand," and attach a "RandomWander" component. The chat includes a text input field at the bottom labeled "Reply..." with an active "Sonnet 4.6" model selection.
A screenshot of the "New project" screen in Unity Hub. On the left, a sidebar provides navigation for "Projects," "Installs," "Learn," and more.
