wtf is spaitial-ai-plugin?

SpAItial AI is a plugin for Claude that turns a text description, a photo, or a 360 degree panorama into an explorable 3D world made of what are called Gaussian splats, a type of 3D scene you can orbit, pan, and zoom around in a browser. It connects to the SpAItial service and handles the whole process for you: sending the request, waiting for the world to be generated, and delivering the finished result as a link you can open right away. The plugin adds four main abilities. You can create a new world from a prompt, an image, or a panorama. You can edit an existing world by adjusting its underlying panorama with a new prompt or reference images, then turn that edit into a fresh world. You can manage your past creations, checking their status, renaming them, changing whether they are private or public, or canceling a job still in progress. And you can export a finished world as a downloadable 3D mesh file, either at full quality or a simplified version meant for real time use. Getting started means creating an account and an API key on the SpAItial developer site, then installing the plugin through Claude's plugin marketplace command and connecting your key. Depending on which Claude client you use, you either paste the key into a connector setting or set it as an environment variable, or you enter it once on a login screen if you're using Claude on the web or on mobile. The key itself is stored by Claude or by SpAItial's service and is never shown in the chat. Once connected, using it is just a matter of describing what you want in plain language, for example asking for a cozy sunlit reading nook, attaching a photo and asking to turn it into a world, or asking to export a mesh of a specific past request. Downloadable files and meshes are provided as short lived links rather than raw files, and images you provide are sent along as encoded data rather than needing to be hosted anywhere first. Every world is private by default until you choose to make it public.
