Introduction
Roflow is an AI-powered development environment for Roblox — a desktop app that plans, builds, tests, and improves your game from plain-language requests.
Head to the Installation guide to download Roflow and set it up, then follow First Launch to sign in and connect Roblox Studio. Signing in is free to try — no credit card needed.
What is Roflow?
Roflow is a desktop code editor built specifically for making Roblox games. Instead of writing every script by hand, you describe what you want in your own words — "build a tycoon with a claim-and-upgrade loop," "add a shop UI," "fix this error" — and Roflow's AI agent does the work: it writes and edits Luau scripts, builds game systems and interfaces, creates world content, and can run a playtest to check that everything actually works.
You stay in control the whole time. By default, Roflow shows you what it's about to do and waits for your OK before it changes a file or runs a command, and every step is snapshotted so you can roll back at any point.
Underneath the AI, Roflow is a full-featured editor: you can open files, browse your project, edit code directly, and run commands — so you can drop into hands-on coding whenever you want and hand things back to the agent when you don't.
Who Roflow is for
Roflow is for Roblox creators — whether you're building your first experience or shipping polished games.
- New to development? Start from a prompt and get a playable game, then learn by watching how Roflow builds it and reading the changes it proposes.
- Already coding? Bring your existing project and let Roflow slot into your structure, take on the repetitive systems work, and speed up debugging.
You don't need to know Luau to get started, but everything Roflow builds is real, editable code you own.
How Roflow is different from a generic AI coding tool
Plenty of tools can generate code. Roflow is built end to end for Roblox:
- It's a full desktop IDE, not just a chat box. You get a real editor, project view, and terminal alongside the AI — not a code snippet you have to paste somewhere else.
- It understands Roblox. Roflow knows Luau, the difference between server and client code, common game systems (economies, save/load, monetization, UI, leaderstats), and Roblox conventions — so what it builds fits how Roblox games actually work.
- It plans your game, not just your code. Roflow keeps a game overview with your core loop, systems, risks, and recommended next steps, and can turn those recommendations into ready-to-go tasks. See Planning Your Game.
- It builds worlds, not only scripts. Roflow can create visible content in your Studio Workspace — spawn areas, lobbies, obby courses, tycoon plots, and more — not just the code behind them. See World Building.
- It connects directly to Roblox Studio. Through the Studio Bridge, Roflow syncs its changes into your open place, runs playtests, reads the console, and checks its own work before calling a task done. See Studio Bridge.
What you need
Getting started takes three things, and Roflow's setup wizard walks you through all of them the first time you open the app.
| What | Why you need it |
|---|---|
| The Roflow desktop app | The IDE itself, where you chat with the agent, edit code, and manage your game. Download it from roflow.co/downloads for macOS (Apple Silicon) or Windows. |
| A Roblox account | You sign in to Roflow with Roblox — there's no separate email/password account. Sign-in opens Roblox in your browser and connects automatically. |
| Roblox Studio + the Studio Bridge plugin | Studio is still where your game runs and gets published. The Studio Bridge is a small companion plugin that lets Roflow sync changes into Studio, run playtests, and read the results. |
You keep using Roblox Studio for what it's best at — running and publishing your game. Roflow drives Studio for you and does the building. Publishing always stays in your hands through Studio's File > Publish to Roblox.
