Sawyer is an advanced AI game developer designed to handle a variety of engineering tasks autonomously, including fixing performance issues and iterating on gameplay mechanics. Leveraging industry-lea
What is Unakin?
Sawyer is an AI-powered assistant designed to help game developers automate engineering work. It handles tasks like debugging performance issues, refactoring code, and iterating on gameplay mechanics without manual intervention. The tool uses large language models to understand your codebase, plan complex changes, write new code, and run tests to verify results. It integrates directly with your IDE and game engine, building a knowledge graph of your project to provide context-aware suggestions. The tool is currently in private beta, with a focus on keeping your code private and secure.
