Gemini AI in Unreal Engine 5 – Connecting via VaRest
In this video, we'll explore working with VaRest in Unreal Engine 5. I'll show you how to connect the plugin, make a test HTTP request, and correctly process the JSON response in Blueprints.
Next, we'll move on to a more practical example: integrating Gemini AI. We'll implement text communication with the AI: we'll create a UI for query input, generate an HTTP request to the API, process the response, and test the chat directly in your Unreal Engine project.
