The AI assistant will evolve to handle complex games and generate 3D models
Roblox introduced the Roblox Assistant, a conversational AI tool, at the 2023 Roblox Developers Conference (RDC). This innovative assistant is designed to simplify the process of creating virtual experiences within the platform. Building upon previous generative AI features for asset creation and coding assistance, the Roblox Assistant allows creators to input prompts and instantly generates corresponding virtual elements, making game development more accessible. Despite some skepticism about AI's impact on developers, Roblox envisions the Assistant evolving to handle complex gameplay and 3D model generation, aligning with the company's goal of streamlining game design. However, concerns persist about its potential to reduce the need for technical skills among creators.
In addition to the Roblox Assistant, other AI-driven updates were announced at RDC, including avatar creation from images and text prompts, real-time voice conversation moderation to combat toxicity, and expanding generative AI for content creation within Roblox experiences. These initiatives underscore Roblox's commitment to harnessing AI to enhance the user experience, empower creators, and broaden accessibility, ultimately making game development more inclusive and user-friendly.
