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)
2026-04Roblox Newsroom (about.roblox.com), TechCrunch, Roblox DevForum
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

What to use if Roblox Assistant is down

Top AIToolTier-ranked alternatives in the same category, ordered by our overall score.

A

GitHub Copilot

8.3

AI code assistant that lives in your editor -- autocomplete on steroids, now with the broadest model picker of any coding tool. **Three frontier models landed in four days: Claude Fable 5.1 (2026-09-01), Gemini 3.8 Flash (2026-09-03) and GPT-6 Astra (2026-09-04)** -- Astra and Gemini auto-enable under default model enablement, but **Fable 5.1 is OFF by default because it requires data retention** to run Anthropic's safety classifiers. **A four-model deprecation slate hits 2026-10-02** (Gemini 3.5/3.6 Flash, Kimi K2.7 Code, Claude Opus 4.7), and **Business/Enterprise card/PayPal customers move to upfront per-seat charging on 2026-10-01**. **Gemini 3.7 Flash landed 2026-08-13 and Grok 4.6 on 2026-08-14**, both across Pro, Pro+, Max, Business and Enterprise and both still off by default for orgs. **Claude Opus 5 landed 2026-07-24** (Pro+, Max, Business, Enterprise) and **Grok 4.5 on 2026-07-28** (all five paid SKUs, up to 500K context, text and image input, low/medium/high reasoning effort). Both bill usage-based at provider list price, and both are off by default for Business/Enterprise until an admin enables the policy -- though that posture flips on **2026-08-26**, when new GA models covered by GitHub's data-retention agreement start auto-enabling for orgs. **MAI-Code-1.1-Flash landed 2026-08-11** (native vision, 0.25x premium-request multiplier, 73% below the model it replaces; automatic for Free/Student, manual elsewhere, off by default for orgs) and **MAI-Code-1-Flash retires 2026-09-10**. **GitHub Models (the separate free playground) was fully retired 2026-07-30.** Usage-based billing went live 2026-06-01 with AI Credits and token metering; code completions are still free; new signups for Student/Pro/Pro+/Max remain PAUSED

A

Cursor

8.3

AI-native code editor, agent-first in Cursor 3 -- **now a SpaceX subsidiary as of 2026-08-14, when the April acquisition option closed**. **OpenAI is cutting it off: on 2026-08-28 OpenAI notified SpaceX it will wind down the contract supplying OpenAI models to Cursor, proposed shutoff 2026-11-12, and says it is providing no future models to Cursor in the meantime** -- so the model-neutrality pitch is narrowing. Still home to **Grok 4.6 on day one (2026-08-12)**, following the Grok 4.5 model Cursor trained jointly with SpaceXAI on trillions of Cursor tokens (still $2/$6 per 1M, fast variant 2x, desktop/web/iOS/CLI/SDK), with Composer 2.5 as the fast lower-cost tier. Since 2026-08-11 the **Cursor Ultra and Teams Premium tiers also entitle you to xAI's Grok Bot**

A

Codex (OpenAI)

8.3

OpenAI's coding agent -- parallel tasks, PRs, and as of 2026-07-09 merged into the unified ChatGPT desktop app (Chat + Work + Codex, every plan incl. Free) with GPT-5.6 across the lineup. **GPT-6 Astra arrived 2026-09-03 with a rewritten Codex harness -- OpenAI claims 1.9x faster task completion vs GPT-5.6 Sol on Mind2Web**, though that figure combines the harness change with the model. GPT-5.4 and 5.4-mini left Codex on 2026-08-31

A

Google Antigravity

8.0

Google's agent-first AI IDE -- deploys up to 5 autonomous coding agents in parallel on a VS Code fork. Antigravity 2.0 (I/O 2026) is the runtime substrate for Gemini Spark, and the Antigravity CLI is now the official successor to Gemini CLI, which stopped serving consumer tiers on 2026-06-18

B

Claude Code

7.8

Anthropic's terminal-based coding agent that reads your whole repo and makes real changes -- not just suggestions. v2.1.131 (2026-05-06 Code with Claude conf) shipped Code Review GA + Remote Agents + CI Auto-Fix + Routines, plus 2x rate-limit increase from the SpaceX compute deal. **Claude Fable 5.1 (2026-09-01) is the new top model and defaults to High effort in Claude Code specifically** -- Medium on every other Anthropic surface -- at an unchanged $10/$50 per 1M with cache reads cut 4x to $0.25/MTok
