Introduction - Prefixes

To get the most out of IntelliSense when using the AI Dev Kit, the following prefixes are designed to make autocomplete clean, fast, and intuitive. Try to remember and follow these naming conventions:

---

GEN — Prefix for All Task Creators

These are extension methods that can be called directly on known objects to start an AI generation task.

1. Prompt-based Pattern Called from prompt-like data types:

Prompt Type	Usage
string	Text/Content Generation Image Generation Speech Generation (TTS) Sound FX Generation Video Generation
AudioClip	Transcript Generation (STT) Voice Change Audio Isolation
Texture2D, Sprite	Text/Content Generation (Vision) Image Edit (Inpaint) Image Variation
ChatSession	Chat

string aiJoke = await "Tell me a joke."
    .GENText()
    .SetModel(OpenAIModel.GPT4o)
    .ExecuteAsync();

string transcript = await audioClip
    .GENTranscript()
    .ExecuteAsync();
    
Texture2D aiImage = await "A cyberpunk city at night"
    .GENImage()
    .ExecuteAsync();

2. UnityEngine.Object-based Pattern Called from Unity UI or scene objects — automatically applies the result to the target:

Type	UnityEngine.Object	Usage
Text	UnityEngine.UI.Text UnityEngine.TextMesh TMPro.TMP_Text TMPro.TextMeshProUGUI TMPro.TextMeshPro	Text Generation Transcript Generation (STT)
Image / Texture	UnityEngine.UI.Image UnityEngine.UI.RawImage UnityEngine.SpriteRenderer	Image Generation Image Edit (Inpaint) Image Variation
Audio	UnityEngine.AudioSource	Speech Generation (TTS) Sound FX Generation Voice Change Audio Isolation

myTMPText.GENText("What’s the weather?").ExecuteAsync();
myImage.GENImage("A sunset over the ocean").ExecuteAsync();
myAudioSource.GENSpeech("Welcome back!").ExecuteAsync();

---

Set — Prefix for All Configuration Options

Use this to configure task parameters such as model, output count, output path, and advanced options like reasoning, web search, or voice settings.

task
    .SetModel(OpenAIModel.GPT4o)
    .SetCount(3)
    .SetReasoningEffort(ReasoningEffort.High);

---

On — Prefix for All Streaming Callbacks

Use these methods to attach real-time callbacks for streamed results, such as receiving text tokens, tool calls, or error handling.

task
    .OnStreamText(Debug.Log)
    .OnStreamError(HandleError)
    .OnStreamDone(OnGenerationComplete);

---

Append — Prefix for Task Sequences

Used with GENSequence to compose a sequence of tasks or insert delays between steps.

new GENSequence()
    .Append("Generate story".GENText())
    .AppendInterval(2.0f)
    .Append("Generate image".GENImage())
    .ExecuteAsync();

---

These prefixes follow a consistent pattern to maximize IntelliSense usability and make task flows easy to read and construct.

Tip: Just type GEN, Set, or On and let IntelliSense show you what’s possible.
