[Full Release] Use Assistant to Boost Your Productivity

although i tend to prefer do my own code and research when it comes to programming and developing on roblox, i can see this being a pretty neat and helpful tool for new developers or just people that like to use AI in general.
im not gonna immediately start trashing on the AI like other ppl do for whatever reason, but its not something i find myself using.
just PLEASE make it a bit more clear when it comes to us allowing our code to be used for the AI training stuff.

Would love to just be able to hide the button via a toggle in the studio settings, it’s still an eyesore (that could be accidentally clicked)

I’d recommend you embrace it, those who don’t are at a competitive disadvantage compared to those who do. It may only be useful for simple tasks and rapid prototyping at the moment, but it is quickly improving.

Using ChatGPT for simple + repetitive tasks is ok in my opinion, I’ve done it in the past. Roblox’s AI is just not good and they probably know which is why they are shoving training down our throats. That doesn’t make me want to give my code to it for free though.

It’s not the best right now; doesn’t mean it cannot get better. Your code being involved in training is opt-in iirc. Don’t complain that the AI will perpetually suck if you aren’t willing to contribute to making it better.

They should just make a deal with openai because roblox developers were not trained correctly. The data roblox has is very low quality because they failed to teach best practices to developers in coding

We are working on a confirmation flow so you can preview code changes as diffs before accepting them.

In the meantime, you can still use Undo.

You really should be able to, I only really use Notifications and Manage Collaborators. Most of the time I find Assistant’s “assistance” to be untrustworthy as it comes up with several errors and will not budge with corrections. I basically just have to look it up how to do it myself at that point… i mean i guess in that sense assistant’s helping me learn by being absolutely useless


something i quickly came up with in case y’all consider this change

Reasons why I made Notifications and Collaborators more emphasized in this image:

  • It’s good to keep up to date on the news and announcements Roblox pushes out to developers or for all players.
  • Collaborating on Studio is kind of a big deal with Game Development Groups/Communities.

I also recognize that this design only really works with Next Gen Studio Preview off, oops.

Very discouraging, I don’t think I want to upload another free model ever again.

This is something we are actively exploring.

What all would you like to see as potential ways to tweak the plan ?

All you and the others who do not wish do be part of it are doing is improving it. It currently is relatively unnecessary, but once it gets to the skill of those who are already skilled it will give game dev noobs a satisfying and productive and creative studio experiance and it will allow people who are already good to work faster. You may be thinking:

Well if it is bad then it won’t help people who are skilled but create more cash-grabs instead from noobs off our work .

This is a fair thought yet the Roblox algorithm already has found all of the players who are likely to succumb to cash grabs and is promoting them them. This means that if anything the only thing that will happen is that cash grabs will become more unique and well made as noobs will no longer be dragging a single model out of the toolbox to instantly make a game (yours and others work) (which they can do anyway ofc even if the AI is not trained on your work) and will be prompting a AI that has collective understanding of your work and will most likely spit out a better game if your free models and toolbox models are better then a cash grab game (I’m sure they are). No more players will be shown cash grabs then the ones being shown them already. The only thing you are losing is attribution for inventing the models which I agree is annoying but Roblox’s decision makes sense as otherwise the models are free and you are not getting anything apart from that anyway.

IMO this AI stuff will eventually end up hurting creators more then help them.

I agree, I want nothing to do with AI (You’ve probably seen me hate on it before) and AIN’T NO WAY I’m letting some giant box with wires and code steal my stuff.

Has the issue of the Assistant creating nonexistent services been fixed? I remember seeing some goofy code generations that used stuff like “DoorService” lol.

As a protest I refuse to open a Roblox Studio experience until we can disable data sharing.

What’s this even have to do with what he said?

It probably isn’t gonna steal your game unless you opt in, you’re being irrational…

Keep going Roblox - Loving these improvements !! - Ignore the negative comments.
Some very educated/experinced programmers surprisngly fail to understand it’s an Opt-IN & not an Opt-OUT.

I love using ChtGPT, as a newbie to coding, and have tried Assistant before… and it annoyed me… but yes… it was early days… and by looking at the documentation Guide … I am surprised of what it can do now - WELL DONE to the Team !!
I will definately be trying a few of assistants new features - cutting out tedious repeats.

I do agree with some that there needs to be safeguards on auto-entries/replacing codes, but have seen you are working on this - Thanks.

To others hating Ai… don’t click it & Assistant won’t be used.
It’s not there for you but for others who need help - who still have to click assitant to use it.

Don’t Opt-In code sharing & your code WON’T be used.
There’s no trick to it - they actually make only 2 places for you to Opt-in (Save to Roblox or in Web-Create).

It can’t get any simpler than that.
Ai is not going away - and has leaped in volumes already - and will only multiply a 1000 fold in the near future.
You can’t fight it - don’t get left behind - all game developing platforms have incorparated it.

Really helpful, I’m a solo developer and adds less work for me. and just a simple glance and then you’re all good. :slight_smile:
