As a Senior XR Developer and founder of AllInOneAICenter with 13+ years shipping AR/VR products across enterprise, consumer, and event contexts, I review every AI tool through a single lens: does it save real time on real work?
Across 13+ years building XR applications, I've integrated LLMs directly into Unity for intelligent NPC dialogue, automated test generation, and rapid client-brief analysis. For Meta AI specifically, I use it for casual chat and its biggest real-world advantage is completely free. Where I've had to adapt my workflow is around less accurate than gpt-4 — the solution is to front-load your prompt with precise context and constraints so the model has less room to drift.
