Meet VERA (Virtual Engine Reasoning Agent) — your autonomous AI Lead Engineer inside Unreal Engine.

VERA is a full-featured, context-aware AI Co-Pilot engineered directly for the Unreal Engine Editor. Unlike simple code snippet generators or external chat windows, VERA is an autonomous AGENT: it inspects your levels, executes editor commands, runs Python scripts, builds procedural PCG worlds, manages character animation pipelines, and automatically detects and fixes runtime errors—all directly inside your project.

⚙️ KEY FEATURES & CAPABILITIES:

🔄 The GER Loop (Autonomous Auto-Fixer):

VERA continuously monitors Unreal Engine output logs, crash reports, and compilation errors. When an issue occurs, VERA analyzes it in real-time, traces the root cause, and automatically executes a fix inside your project.

🧩 10 Bundled Plugins + Custom Plugin Architecture:

VERA includes 10 specialized plugins out-of-the-box (100% FREE):

- Blueprint Forge (Create Actor Blueprints programmatically)

- PCG Forge (Procedural world generation & prop scattering)

- Mobile & Performance Doctor (Material & level profiling)

- Memory (Persistent project conventions & decisions across chats)

- Scene Vibe, Project Intelligence, Source Control (Git), Computer Use, Local IQ & Project Playbook.

👉 Custom Plugin Support: Easily extend VERA's capabilities by adding custom Python tools and SKILL.md files. Enable or disable plugins on-the-fly with a single click from the UI!

🧠 Multi-Provider Brain & 100% BYOK:

- Cloud Providers: OpenAI (GPT-4o), Anthropic (Claude 3.5 Sonnet), Google Gemini, Groq (ultra-fast inference), NVIDIA NIM, or Hugging Face.

- 100% Offline & Private: Full support for local LLMs via LM Studio, Ollama, or llama.cpp. Run models (like Qwen 2.5 Coder or Llama 3.3) offline at zero cost and with complete data privacy.

👁️ Viewport Vision & Level Inspection:

VERA doesn't just process code—it SEES your game. Utilizing background SceneCapture2D rendering, VERA captures actors, lighting setups, and level compositions (even when the editor is minimized) to visually analyze your scene.

🌍 Procedural World Generation (PCG Forge):

Generate vast, rule-based environments automatically! VERA connects and configures Procedural Content Generation (PCG) graphs to spawn forests, cities, and prop layouts without manual placement.

🎞️ Character Animation & IK Pipeline:

Automate complex animation workflows directly from chat: create IK Rigs, set up IK Retargeters, batch-retarget animation sequences between skeletons, and play/scrub them for visual verification.

⚡ Asynchronous Task Management & Live Progress:

Long-running agent operations execute asynchronously in the background. VERA's live progress pills keep you informed of background execution status without triggering socket timeouts, allowing you to monitor or cancel background tasks at any time.

🔌 Native MCP Server (Drive UE5 from Cursor / VS Code / Claude Code):

Expose your Unreal Editor to external IDEs! Drive Unreal Engine from Cursor, Claude Code, or VS Code to execute Python, tail output logs, or capture viewport screenshots remotely.

🛡️ Multi-Level Safety Controls:

Choose your level of autonomy:

- ASK: Gate destructive actions with full user approval.

- AUTO: Full autopilot mode for rapid prototyping.

- READ: Pure inspection mode—VERA analyzes assets without making modifications.
