GUI Tools Overview
In this section of documentation we describe the Configuration and Debugging tool shipped with Grail. It allows you to create AI system configurations and to define Utility AI presets using an intuitive graphical interface. Another capability of the tool is a complete AI system debugging suite in which you can analyze changes in the AI state over time.
With this tool, we aim to significantly decrease the time needed for AI debugging and free you up to do more interesting stuff like adding new functionalities to your agents.
