The RoGenie Studio plugin is how RoGenie reads and changes the place you have open in Roblox Studio. You install it once; it then keeps itself up to date.

Download the plugin

  1. Sign in at rogenie.ai/app.
  2. Click the Studio button in the top bar, then Pair Studio. (On a new account, the first-run guide's Pair button does the same.)
  3. In step 1 of the Pair Roblox Studio window, click the Download button.

Your browser saves a .lua file, usually named RoGeniePlugin.lua or RoGeniePluginLoader.lua. Either name works.

Put it in the plugins folder

Windows

  1. Open File Explorer, paste %localappdata%\Roblox\Plugins into the address bar and press Enter.
  2. Drag the plugin file there from your Downloads folder. Or right-click the file, choose Cut (or press Ctrl+X), then right-click an empty spot in the Plugins folder and choose Paste (or press Ctrl+V).
  3. Restart Roblox Studio.

Mac

  1. In Finder, choose Go › Go to Folder (Shift+Command+G), paste ~/Documents/Roblox/Plugins/ and press Return.
  2. Drag the plugin file there from your Downloads folder. Or select it, press Command+C, open the Plugins folder and press Option+Command+V to move it.
  3. Restart Roblox Studio.
Tip

If the Plugins folder does not exist, open Roblox Studio, select the Plugins tab on the top menu bar and click Plugins Folder. Studio creates and opens the right folder for you.

Check that it loaded

After the restart, open any place. On the Plugins tab you should see a RoGenie button. Click it to open the RoGenie panel. The panel shows:

  • the connection status (for example Offline, Disconnected or Paired) and the plugin version,
  • a Connect button that gets a pairing code,
  • what RoGenie is doing in Studio right now, with a Stop button while something runs,
  • a setting to Auto-connect on start, and an Unpair Studio button.

Now pair Studio with your account.

Permissions Studio may ask for

Roblox Studio may ask whether the RoGenie plugin can connect to rogenie.ai and whether it can change scripts. Allow both: the plugin needs the connection to talk to RoGenie, and script access to write the code you ask for. If you denied one by mistake, you can change plugin permissions in Studio's plugin manager (Plugins › Manage Plugins).

If Studio shows "Failed to load plugin source. Check Studio HTTP permissions.", the plugin was not allowed to reach rogenie.ai. Allow it and restart Studio.

Updates

The file you install is a small loader. Each time Studio starts, it fetches the latest RoGenie plugin code from rogenie.ai, so you never need to download the plugin again for updates.

  • If RoGenie says Studio: Update needed ("This Studio runs plugin vX; RoGenie needs vY or later"), restart Roblox Studio so the loader fetches the new version.
  • If rogenie.ai cannot be reached when Studio starts, the loader uses the last version it downloaded and shows "Live update fetch failed. Using cached plugin source."
  • Some features need a recent plugin version, for example reverting a turn and running Lua safely in Plan mode. A restart is all it takes.

Uninstall

Delete the RoGenie plugin file from the plugins folder and restart Studio. To also stop RoGenie from using a pairing, click Unpair Studio in the plugin panel first.

Troubleshooting

See Studio won't connect if the RoGenie button does not appear, the code does not work or the app keeps saying Studio: Not linked.
