Planning Mode launched 2026-04-16 at RDC 2026 / Studio dev blog. This is the big agentic turn for Roblox Assistant -- prior versions were closer to Copilot-style autocomplete inside Luau scripts. The shift to 'Plan-Build-Test' matches the pattern we're seeing across code-assistants (Cursor 3, Devin 2.2, Windsurf 2.0)

Procedural Models reached FULL RELEASE (GA) on 2026-05-18, out of the 2026-04-28 Studio Beta. Adds a new `ProceduralModel` instance type: build parametric 3D objects via code or AI (Roblox Assistant / Studio MCP, text or image prompts) that auto-adapt geometry, colors, and materials when attribute values change -- no re-generation. Now available in Team Create and live games with no opt-in (was Studio-only in beta) and distributable via the Creator Store; insert via the Insert Object menu or the /generate_procedural_model command. Memory-leak and resize bugs from the beta were fixed for GA. Mesh Generation remains the separate prompt-to-textured-mesh path

Agent uses playtesting tools + screenshots + keyboard/mouse inputs to verify its own work. Under the hood this means Assistant has runtime access to your experience -- a level of integration other code assistants (Copilot, Cursor) would require bespoke work to replicate
