Frequently asked questions

Getting started

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Describe what you want in plain English and RoGenie writes the Luau, builds it in your place and playtests it. If you do code, you can read every change in the work log and edit scripts yourself in the built-in IDE.

How does RoGenie connect to Roblox Studio?

Through the RoGenie Studio plugin. Put the plugin file in Studio's plugins folder (%localappdata%\Roblox\Plugins on Windows, ~/Documents/Roblox/Plugins/ on Mac; if it is not there, open Studio, select the Plugins tab and click Plugins Folder), restart Studio, and pair your account with the pairing code it shows. You can pair several Studio sessions too (see below). See Install the plugin and Pair Studio.

Does it work in my existing place?

Yes. RoGenie acts directly in the place you open. It reads the live scene, follows your Studio selection, and edits the exact lines with targeted diffs instead of rewriting whole scripts. For big changes to an existing game, try Plan mode first.

Can I connect more than one Roblox Studio?

Yes. Pair several Studio sessions with one account, for example two places open at once or Studio on two computers. The Studio menu lists each one by place name, and you choose the one RoGenie works in. A run stays on the Studio it started in, and if that Studio drops mid-run, RoGenie waits up to 3 minutes for it to reconnect. See Several Studio sessions.

Does RoGenie work on a Mac?

Yes. The Studio plugin and the app work on Mac and Windows: building, scripting, playtesting, terrain, UI, the Toolbox and Studio animation all work. Only the optional RoGenie Bridge needs a Windows PC: Roblox's AI mesh and material generators, image uploads and Blender.

Does RoGenie work with Rojo?

You can export your place from the built-in IDE as a Rojo project: default.project.json, sourcemap.json, or a full project archive with every script as a file. It's a one-way export. RoGenie works in Studio itself, so it doesn't sync with rojo serve or a folder on disk.

Can I use RoGenie on my phone?

The app works on phones and tablets, so you can chat with RoGenie and follow its work from anywhere. RoGenie acts in the Studio you paired on your computer, so Studio needs to be open there.

Is RoGenie made by Roblox?

No. RoGenie is not affiliated with Roblox Corporation.

Usage and plans

What are tokens, and how do the 5-hour and monthly limits work?

Usage is measured in tokens, over a rolling 5-hour window (what you used in the last 5 hours) and a monthly total, and every plan sets a limit for both. Each model has a quota multiplier that says how fast it uses your quota compared with Claude Opus 5 (1×): a model at 0.1× uses quota ten times slower. Auto (intelligent & cheap) runs at 0.058×, and the cheapest model, GPT 6 Luna (0.02×), is even lower. The 5-hour window and the monthly total reset on their own schedules. See How usage is counted.

What does "up to 11×" mean?

It is RoGenie's maximum estimate versus using the same models at official list prices. It combines discounted model rates with the token savings from minified code context (with line numbers kept) and smart context compression. Actual savings vary by model, project and workload. See How RoGenie saves tokens.

What happens when I run out of quota?

Built-in models stop until the limit frees up. The 5-hour window frees up gradually, and the monthly total resets at the start of your next monthly cycle. Models on your own API keys and your connected Claude accounts keep working, and their usage never counts toward your RoGenie quota. Referrals add bonus quota on top of your plan, and an upgrade applies right away. Everything already built stays in your place. See When you run out.

Can I change or cancel my plan?

Yes. Upgrades between paid plans take effect immediately and are prorated, and downgrades are scheduled for the end of the current period. To cancel, open Settings › Account & Usage › Manage billing (the Stripe billing portal). You keep access through the paid period. See Billing.

How do I change my card or payment method?

Open Settings › Account & Usage › Manage billing (also in the account menu). It opens the Stripe billing portal, where you add a new card and make it the default; your invoices are there too. If an upgrade was declined, nothing was charged: update the card there, then try the upgrade again. See Change your card.

Do you offer refunds?

Refunds are not automatic. Contact the RoGenie team for billing questions and refund requests. See Get help and the Billing policy.

How do referrals work?

Share your referral link from Settings. Every friend who signs up through it and subscribes to a paid plan adds 25% of that plan's token limits (5-hour and monthly) to your own, for the friend's first month: a friend on Studio adds a quarter of Studio, a friend on Starter a quarter of Starter. It stacks: four friends on the same plan in the same month are a whole plan's worth of usage without paying, and up to eight count at a time. See Referrals.

Models and keys

Which models can I use, and do I need API keys?

107 models from Claude, DeepSeek, MiniMax, GPT, Gemini, Kimi, Qwen, Grok, GLM, Mistral, Composer are built in, so you don't need any keys. If you like, you can also add your own keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, Together, Perplexity or DeepSeek; models on your own keys do not use your RoGenie quota. See Choosing a model and Your own API keys.

Can I use my own Claude subscription?

On Builder, Pro and Studio, yes. Sign in with one or more Claude accounts in Settings › Providers, and Claude models run on those accounts instead of your RoGenie quota. Your Claude plan's own limits still apply, and other models use your RoGenie quota as usual. ChatGPT and Codex subscriptions can't be connected; you can add an OpenAI API key instead. See Your Claude accounts.

Which model should I pick?

Start with the default, Auto (intelligent & cheap). Switch to a stronger model, or Auto (Smartest Available), for hard logic and tricky bugs.

What RoGenie does

What is the RoGenie Bridge, and do I need it?

An optional Windows companion app. Download the installer, run it, and it sets itself up, starts with Windows and keeps itself updated. It pairs with the same code as the plugin (developers can get a readable open-source version instead). It lets RoGenie use Roblox's own AI generators for 3D meshes, materials and procedural models, upload images to Roblox, and work in Blender on the same PC. Everything else works without it, on Windows or Mac. See RoGenie Bridge.

Why does Windows or Edge warn about the Bridge installer?

The installer is not code-signed yet, so Microsoft SmartScreen has no reputation for it and may say Windows protected your PC, or that the file isn't commonly downloaded. That is not a sign that anything is wrong with it. You can check the file is exactly the one RoGenie published by its SHA-256: see Check your download. Then, in Windows, click More info and Run anyway; in Edge, choose Keep in the download's ⋯ menu.

Can RoGenie work in Blender?

Yes, on Windows. With the RoGenie Bridge on the same PC as Blender (5.2 or newer), RoGenie models, sculpts, unwraps, adds materials, lights, rigs and keyframes in your own Blender using a reviewed set of 242 Blender tools, and checks its work with viewport screenshots. It then sends the result into your Studio place as MeshParts, with its animations published as Roblox Animations. The Bridge installs the Blender add-on the first time; restart Blender once. Colours, smooth shading and metal carry over; image textures and UVs don't yet. See Blender.

Can RoGenie animate my characters?

Yes, two ways. In Studio, on Windows or Mac, it can insert an R15 or R6 rig or your avatar, position arms and legs with IK, write keyframed animations from poses, edit existing ones (retime, mirror, fix loops, trim) and publish them as Animation assets. With the Bridge and Blender on Windows, it builds an R15 or R6 rig in Blender, animates it there, and publishes the animation onto your rig or a preview dummy, with an animation id to use on players' characters. See Character animation.

Can RoGenie make icons for my game?

It can render icons of your own models in Blender, framed automatically with studio lighting and a transparent background, and upload them to Roblox as image assets for shop buttons, inventory slots and other UI, once you approve the upload. This needs Bridge 2.4.0 or newer on Windows with Blender open. It can also pick from 2,440 royalty-free icons in three packs; the Material and Lucide packs work without the Bridge. It doesn't make experience thumbnails or set your game's icon; you upload those in the Creator Dashboard. See Renders and icons.

Can RoGenie playtest my game?

Yes. It runs your game and plays it like a real player, with a live player, client and input in a real Play session. It reads runtime state, captures screenshots, scans geometry and UI layout and profiles performance, then fixes what actually broke and replays until the checks pass. See Playtesting.

Can I see what it's doing, and stop it?

Always. The live work log shows every action with its request and result, next to the plan checklist and the thought summaries the provider exposes. You can stop a run any time, or queue a follow-up to steer it mid-run. See Watching a run and Stop, queue and steer.

Can RoGenie break my game? How do I undo?

RoGenie changes your place, so mistakes can happen. You have several safety nets: Revert undoes exactly what one turn changed, Plan mode lets you approve before anything changes, and Studio's own undo still works. For important places, save a copy before large changes.

Will RoGenie upload things to Roblox without asking?

Publishing an asset with Publish Assets, uploading images (including Blender renders) and overwriting an existing animation all ask for your approval first, unless you choose to always allow new uploads in that chat. Two things publish as part of the action itself, without a card: a new animation RoGenie creates, and a Blender import, whose meshes and animations Roblox needs published to keep them. Switch off Publish Assets to Roblox in Tool access and RoGenie publishes nothing. See Publishing to Roblox.

Does RoGenie remember things between chats?

Yes: your standing instructions, short notes about how you like to work, and project notes stored in your place. See Memory.

Can RoGenie see my other files?

No. RoGenie sees only the place open in your paired Studio and, if you use the Bridge with Blender, the scene open in Blender. The Bridge does not read your other files. See Privacy and data.

Account

Can I delete my account?

Yes. Go to Settings and open the danger zone. Deletion removes your account and its data for good. An active Stripe subscription must be cancelled before deletion. See Delete your account.

Why is RoGenie asking me to verify my account?

To keep bots out, RoGenie can ask every account to link Discord, confirm an email or connect Google before the agent works for it. Your chats and plan are safe in the meantime. See Verify your account.
