Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an artificial intelligence (“AI”) application running in conjunction with an artificial reality (“XR”) space. The AI Builder responds to user commands, verbal or gestural, to build or edit spaces or objects in space. If the requested object is of a type recognized by the AI Builder, then the AI Builder builds the object from one or more stored templates. The new object's location is determined by the objects that already exist in the user's XR environment and on commands or gestures from the user. If the AI Builder does not recognize the requested object, the user can show an image to the AI Builder, and the AI builds a 3D object in the XR space according to that image. To ease collaboration among users, the AI Builder may present its user interface as a non-player character within the XR world.
