# Quickstart: your first wish

> Go from no account to a granted wish in about five minutes. Create an account, install the Studio plugin, pair it and ask RoGenie to build something.

This page takes you from nothing to your first working build. You need Roblox Studio installed on Windows or Mac.

## 1. Create your account

1. Go to [rogenie.ai](https://rogenie.ai) and choose **Start free**.
2. Sign up with your email and a password (at least 8 characters), or choose **Continue with Google**.
3. Complete the short verification challenge if one appears, and confirm your email if RoGenie asks you to.

The Free plan needs no payment details. See [Create an account and sign in](https://rogenie.ai/docs/accounts) for details, including linking Discord.

## 2. Install the Studio plugin

1. In the app at [rogenie.ai/app](https://rogenie.ai/app), click the **Studio** button in the top bar (it says *Studio: Not linked*), then **Pair Studio**. The *Pair Roblox Studio* window opens.
2. Click **Download** in step 1 to get the plugin file.
3. Move the file into your Roblox Studio plugins folder:
   - **Windows:** `%localappdata%\Roblox\Plugins`
   - **Mac:** `~/Documents/Roblox/Plugins/`
4. Restart Roblox Studio.

If the folder does not exist, open Studio, select the **Plugins** tab and click **Plugins Folder**: Studio opens the right folder for you. Full steps are in [Install the Studio plugin](https://rogenie.ai/docs/install-plugin).

## 3. Pair Studio with your account

1. In Studio, open a place (a new Baseplate is fine).
2. On the **Plugins** tab, click the **RoGenie** button to open the RoGenie panel.
3. Click **Connect**. The panel shows an 8-digit code.
4. Back in the app, type the code into step 2 of the *Pair Roblox Studio* window and click **Pair**.
5. In Studio, click **Confirm pairing** in the RoGenie panel.

The Studio button in the top bar now says *Studio: Linked* with your place's name. Codes expire after 5 minutes; if yours did, click **Get a new code** for a new one. More in [Pair Roblox Studio](https://rogenie.ai/docs/connect-studio).

## 4. Make your first wish

Type what you want into the message box at the bottom and press `Enter`. For example:

- "Build a simple obby with five stages and checkpoints."
- "Add a coin pickup that gives the player 10 coins and shows the total on screen."
- "Make the baseplate a grassy island with a few trees and a dock."

RoGenie plans the work, builds it in your open place and playtests it. You can watch every step in the work log under the message. When it finishes, look at the result in Studio, then ask for changes in plain words: "make the checkpoints glow" or "the coins are too small".

> **Tip**
> The default model, **Auto (intelligent & cheap)**, handles most wishes for very little quota. Pick a stronger model for hard problems. See [Choosing a model](https://rogenie.ai/docs/models).

## 5. Optional: get the RoGenie Bridge

If you want RoGenie to generate textured 3D meshes and materials with Roblox's AI, upload images, or work in [Blender](https://rogenie.ai/docs/blender), install the [RoGenie Bridge](https://rogenie.ai/docs/bridge) on a Windows PC. Everything else works without it.
