# Looking for a Roblox Assistant alternative?

Roblox Assistant is handy for quick asks inside Studio. Some creators outgrow it, usually when they want help with bigger features, longer sessions, or a different model. If that sounds like you, here is what to look for and where Kiwari fits.

## Why people look for alternatives

Common reasons:

- They want to work on a whole feature, not a single request.
- They want to review changes as diffs before applying them.
- They want to choose the model, or use a stronger one for hard problems.
- They want the AI to test its own work.
- They want project notes that persist.

## What to look for

### 1. A real project view

The tool should read your scripts and instances, not only the text you paste. Without that, answers are generic.

### 2. Review and control

Look for diffs, approval before changes, undo, and a read-only mode.

### 3. Testing

An agent that can run the game and read the console fixes its own mistakes.

### 4. Longer sessions

A dedicated chat that keeps context across a whole feature is much more useful than isolated prompts.

### 5. Model choice and clear pricing

Being able to pick a light, free, or strong model per task keeps cost under control.

## How Kiwari measures up

[Kiwari](https://kiwari.dev) is a desktop agent for Roblox Studio built around those points.

- Reads scripts and the instance tree in your open place.
- Edits with diff review, with undo for script edits.
- Ask mode for read-only questions, Plan mode for planned builds.
- Playtesting: start Play, send input, read the console, capture the screen.
- Per-place memory and several chats at once.
- A model picker from free models to the strongest.

## What you give up

Be clear about the tradeoffs:

- It is a separate app, not inside Studio. You work in two windows.
- It is macOS only for now.
- Studio has to be open.
- Free models are less capable than paid models.

## Moving over

You do not have to switch completely. Keep Assistant for one-off questions and use Kiwari for building.

A smooth start:

1. Download Kiwari and sign in with Roblox.
2. Open the place you were working on.
3. Re-run a task you did with Assistant and compare.
4. Try Plan mode on something bigger.

## Cost

You can start for free. Pro is $19.99 a month and Pro+ is $69.99 a month with 4x the usage and the strongest models. Yearly billing is about 5% cheaper. See [pricing](https://kiwari.dev/pricing).
