Building with an AI assistant
There are three ways an AI model can help you build on AR Clip, and they need very different things from you.
| Way | The model can… | Needs |
|---|---|---|
| The built-in assistant | build and change your scene directly | nothing — it is in the editor |
| Your own tools over MCP | the same, from Claude, Cursor, or anything that speaks MCP | an API token |
| Any chat model (GPT, DeepSeek, Perplexity, …) | advise, write scripts and patch graphs for you to paste | the brief |
The built-in assistant
The quickest path: the top icon in the editor's left rail. Describe what you want, it builds it, and everything it makes is ordinary project content you can edit by hand afterwards.
Your own tools, over MCP
If you already work in a tool that speaks MCP — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and others — you can point it at your project and let it build while you watch in the editor.
Any other model
Models without MCP cannot touch your project, but they can still be genuinely useful — writing a script, designing a patch graph, working out why something is not firing.
They need context, because none of them know this platform. Point the model at one page:
That page is written to be handed to a model as-is. It contains the mental model, the naming rules and the traps that most often produce confidently wrong answers.
What it is worth asking for
Concrete jobs, from running a workshop on one shared canvas to generating a project from a spreadsheet: what agents are good for here.
What to expect
An assistant is good at the tedious parts: making forty objects, wiring the same event onto a list of things, writing a script you could have written but would rather not, working out which step does what.
It is weaker at judgement: how your experience should feel, whether a marker will track in the room it will actually live in, how big something should be so it reads from three metres.
The site publishes /llms.txt — the convention AI tools
look for at a site root — with the brief as its first entry, and
/llms-full.txt containing every page in one file.
So "read the AR Clip docs" is often enough of an instruction; you do not have to paste anything.
Not us, not a plugin, not an assistant. Tokens go in your account settings.
