Roblox launches an AI-powered game-creation feature in its mobile app
What changed
Roblox announced Thursday a new feature called “Build,” allowing users to design games from their mobile devices using AI. “Powered by a broad set of AI models, including both open-source and proprietary Roblox models, Build handles gameplay mechanics, environment, characters, visual style, sound, and more,” the company wrote in its blog post. Additionally, the announcement comes shortly after Roblox disclosed plans to discontinue “Roblox Connect,” the avatar-based video-calling feature introduced in 2023.
Why it matters
A concrete addition to Practical AI: Tools, Models & Frameworks: it changes what's available to builders today rather than being general commentary.
