With Buildbox AI, creators simply type in whatever is on their mind and then the AI takes over, creating virtually unlimited options of unique characters, game objects, and environments, crafted to fit their specific game’s vision, he said. This ground-breaking innovation will enable anyone to effortlessly create high-quality and unique in-game assets for their video games, redefining what is possible in game development, Zweig said. Now the company is adding generative AI features to Buildbox.

Buildbox AI Buildbox creates assets when game creators type in text prompts. AppOnBoard is now a kind of side business and Buildbox is the main focus. The company acquired Buildbox in 2019 and then it made a version of Buildbox available for free. Founded by Zweig and cofounder Adam Piechowicz, AppOnBoard started out in 2016, making playable ads for mobile games. You see a lot fewer walled gardens, which I think is going to be good for this concept of the metaverse.”īuildbox has given AppOnBoard a chance for a big pivot. A lot of the APIs are under licenses that just can be used and mixed and remixed. You see a lot of people putting stuff out as open source.

What I’ve enjoyed about the journey so far is it seems like the AI ecosystem is very collaborative. “That’s a big difference compared to other tools out there,” he said. And there they can be used directly in the product itself.”īuildbox will generate assets that you can actually use in a game, he said. And we start to build the assets for you. Inside Buildbox, you can just start to type and describe the game that you’re building. He added, “Our goal is to build ChatGBT for games, and this is a first step around generative AI. This is our first addition to the industry’s evolution.” And I think that’s what we’ve been trying to do for the last several months. I think the biggest leap is that there are so many APIs and tools out there that you can blend together in your own proprietary way, resulting in good outcomes for the creators. “AI is really just the next iteration of no code,” Zweig said.
