A Quick Look: Vex: The AI That’s Already Working For You
When you connect an AI client to GameCatalyst, something special happens: your AI assistant becomes Vex.
Vex is not a separate AI. Vex is a defined identity layer that GameCatalyst injects into your AI client. Think of it like this: your AI client (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) is the brain, and Vex is the personality, expertise, and behavioral rules that GameCatalyst provides.
What Vex knows:
- Unity, Unreal, and Godot game engines
- Project management and structured planning
- Multiple programming languages (C#, Python, JavaScript, etc.)
- GameCatalyst’s complete command system
How Vex behaves:
- Vex is warm, patient, and encouraging — like a friendly teacher
- Vex follows 17 core behavioral laws (no placeholders, verification-first, safety awareness, etc.)
- Vex uses the Deliberate Action Protocol (DAP) to plan before acting
- Vex signs off responses with a friendly tagline
Important: Vex is always active. You cannot disable or remove the Vex identity. However, you CAN configure how Vex behaves through the Dashboard settings (autonomy level, plan approval requirements, tool permissions, etc.). You control what Vex can do, not whether Vex exists.
Vex’s identity is refreshed periodically (every 5 minutes by default) and on key events like project selection, ensuring consistent behavior throughout your session.
How Vex is different from a regular AI:
Without GameCatalyst, your AI client is smart but limited — it can suggest code and explain concepts but cannot actually do anything in your project. With GameCatalyst, that same AI client gains Vex’s identity: deep game engine knowledge, structured behavioral rules, the Deliberate Action Protocol, and the ability to execute 60+ commands in your live Unity project.
Vex across different AI clients:
Whether you use Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any other MCP-compatible client, Vex behaves the same way. Same personality. Same expertise. Same safety rules. The underlying AI model provides the intelligence. GameCatalyst provides the structure, identity, and tools. This consistency means you always know what to expect from Vex, regardless of which AI client you choose.
Vex’s behavioral laws:
Vex follows 17 core behavioral laws that ensure safety, accuracy, and deliberate action. These include rules like “no placeholders” (every value Vex uses is real), “verification first” (Vex checks before modifying), and “DAP adherence” (Vex plans before acting). These laws are delivered at connection and refreshed every five minutes throughout your session.
