MAKE YOUR OWN Describe a world at virtualmatter.ai and an AI agent builds it for you, live, while you watch. Makers with their own coding agent, such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, can build with the virtualmatter command line too. Every world has a link you can share the moment it exists, and it plays in this app, in any browser and on desktop. WHY THE APP Worlds also run in the browser with no install.
