When will the scripting assistant become better? If you won’t give us the option to turn assistant off, at least let the suggestions be correct. Sometimes it’ll pull variable names out of thin air, or even index properties that don’t exist of an object. Visual Studio Code’s copilot is a great example of what I think the standard should be.

We don’t want Assistant at all. We’d like an option to turn the button off as a compromise. I loathe all modern AI products in general, and I am trying to not type the most loaded response in history.

During the times I used the assistant feature for scripting for example ‘Make a script that will prevent zombies from killing each other’ and I think I do specify it in my text message for assistant. Unfortunately, the script does not work at all as the zombies still kill each other (im only using zombies as an example for the before/after results of the script generated by the AI assistant and although Im only saying that as an example, I am still saying what happened with the Ai assistant with me in the studio while making a game). I wonder if that bug is even fixed or not because I have not used the feature ever since like January or February. (I didn’t really take the time to read the whole topic as its kinda long and its my bedtime right now. So maybe either I missed something regarding the bug or not?)

That’s because the current LLM roblox uses (Llama) is very outdated and doesn’t “deepthink” like many other current LLMs, I asked your question to Grok (Twitter’s semi-free AI) and it gave me a bunch of options.
It even gave me explanations, other snippets (AoE) but keep in mind, complex requests won’t work very well and you’d have to keep asking the Ai itself or fix it yourself.
Any approaches in replacing the LLM? @tnavarts, Llama doesn’t have a think feature and will just give any result.

I hope this works for logic errors. Because I have some very complex code and I wish to tell assistant what it should do, then it can fix the code based on that.

Maybe it’s less controversial because you can disable it? Last time I used it it was annoying, distracting, incorrect, and wanted to write me a love letter.

I have been meddling with VC Code+Rojo - for about 6 months - and not too bad.
A few days ago I bumped into CURSOR - and WOW - it is amazing !! (using my 2 week free version).
I can now Use it with Rojo seamlessly - and showed me how to upoloaded (backups) to GitHub.
I have managed to Script (Ai) my game in the last 5 days - where I was stuck for months.
Rojo can be a little pushy on the Syncing (deleting when not wanted) - but I am getting used to it - and boils down to my fault - not saving files to PC before Syncing.
If anyone - like me that is not a scripter (yet) - I’d recommend Cursor for sure.
But yes - I look forward to an improved Roblox Assistant (frustrating atm).
Besides that - Roblox has given us many assistants for many aspects of the game that work nicely - so Script Assitant will get there too.

GitHub’s AI code editor thingy works pretty well. It’s good at identifying problems and only changing what it needs to to fix them and it does that really quickly without eating CPU power or memory. AI is really accessible and I won’t be surprised if Roblox manages to bring theirs to that level. A lot of the main developers that make the algorithms and whatnot for Roblox are really good at their jobs, too, so it shouldn’t be a long wait.

my experience with this AI is terrible, it can’t code correctly, it can’t answer basic questions without giving false information (like a service that doesn’t exist, or deprecated properties/instances). It talks WAY too much, even if you ask it not to.
It’s terrible at following instructions and remembering stuff
The interface for the AI is hard to follow and read.
I’ll stick with ChatGPT and Assistant | Documentation

We’re excited to launch Mesh Generation with Cube 3D yesterday which is available as a beta feature in Studio; you’ll be able to generate objects using Assistant by typing ‘/generate’ followed by a prompt. In the future, look out for more powerful “/tool” options, putting you in control of specific Assistant capabilities.

Why didn’t yall declare the need for ID verification regarding that feature?

I use ChatGPT and its performance and knowledge of Roblox and Luau is way beyond whatever you got running for your built-in assistant.
Is there a way for the Assistance to go through every script? As in, if I asked the Assistance “Run through every Script/LocalScript/ModuleScript in my game, and point out any memory leaks or bad practices, and show me their fix”. If not, could this potentially be added in the future?
