Should you use Nilo?

Pick it if you want to make a 3D world with friends in a browser tab, or need Roblox-ready models and maps without Blender. The Starter plan is free with a weekly cap. It is not for under-13s, has no parental controls, and offers no Steam or app-store export for a finished game.

Friends co-create one 3D world in a browser tab while an agent builds it and generated characters are rigged ready to play.

Shared worlds, friends and Bits balances keep groups on Nilo, while standard file export and Roblox import keep individual assets portable.

Main trade-off

The free allowance is a limited weekly amount, and heavier generation moves onto paid plans or Bits.

What Nilo does

Nilo is a browser-based AI game maker for 3D worlds: an agent builds the world from prompts, generated 3D models are rigged and animated, and friends edit the same world in real time and share it by link. Its FAQ counts more than 150,000 creators during its open beta.

  • Nilo AI world agent

    Builds and changes your world from prompts, asks follow-up questions, keeps chat history, and writes a Game Design Document to stay consistent.

  • Mini Agents

    Select one object and describe a change; several Mini Agents can run while the main agent keeps working.

  • Text and image to 3D

    Generates 3D objects from a prompt or a JPEG, PNG or WEBP image, choosing from more than 20 generation models.

  • Rigging and animation

    Handles retopology, rigging and texture baking for bipedal characters, which you then control with WASD, Shift and Space.

Show all 6 features

  • Real-time co-creation

    Several people edit one world together live, and a published world opens by link in Sandbox or Spectator mode.

  • Roblox and file export

    Exports objects as FBX, GLB or STL, whole worlds for Roblox Studio, and R15 Roblox characters as .RBXMX files on paid plans.

Capabilities

  • 3d generation
  • Game generation
  • No code
  • Multiplayer
  • Roblox export

Strengths and limits

Strengths

  • It is 3D from the first prompt, including rigged, controllable characters, without Blender or any install.
  • Sharing a published world by link is free, so a group of friends can build and play together on the Starter plan.
  • Exports in standard formats (FBX, GLB, STL) and whole-world Roblox import mean models are not locked inside Nilo.

Limits

  • Nilo's own Parents Guide says there are no built-in parental controls, such as time limits or restricted modes, and that moderated generation can still produce unexpected results.
  • Roblox character export with animations (.RBXMX) needs a Builder or Pro plan; free users can download only the textures.
  • The help center recommends a PC with WebGL 2.0 and graphics acceleration switched on, and its FAQ says a PC gives the best experience.

Questions about Nilo

How much does Nilo cost per month?

Starter is free, Builder lists at $29.99 a month and Pro at $74.99, in US dollars, and both paid plans were shown at 50 percent off ($14.99 and $37.49) on 15 November 2026. Builder gives over 1.5 times Starter's weekly usage and Pro over four times. Generation past a plan's included usage is paid in Nilo Bits.

What can you do on Nilo's free Starter plan?

Build, play and share worlds, with a limited weekly amount of the paid AI features. Primitive shapes, lights, particles and your own uploads cost no Bits at all, and free Bits can be earned through daily logins, referrals and Discord events. Sharing a published world by link does not need a paid plan.

Can I export what I make in Nilo to Roblox?

Yes. Single objects export as FBX, GLB or STL, and a whole world can be imported into Roblox Studio and ungrouped there. Roblox characters from the Workbench export as .RBXMX files with animations on Builder or Pro; the help center suggests under 4,000 polygons for Roblox UGC items.

Can I build a game with friends in Nilo?

Yes. Several people can co-create in the same world in real time, and you publish it from the Private control as Sandbox or Spectator so others can open it by link. Nilo is for ages 13 and over, and anyone under 18 needs a parent's or guardian's permission.

Who owns the worlds and models I make on Nilo?

You do: the terms say Nilo asserts no ownership over your creations. Posting them grants Nilo a broad licence to run the platform, let other users remix them and use them in its marketing. Before selling anything made with it, the terms put the checking of rights on you.

About Nilo

Nilo is a browser-based 3D creation platform for making games and playing them with friends. You describe what you want, Nilo AI builds or changes the world, and you can generate 3D objects from text or an image, rig and animate characters, and share the result with a link. Nilo Technologies, a San Francisco startup registered in Delaware, was founded in April 2024 by CEO Nuno Leiria; GamesBeat reported on 24 September 2025 that it raised a 4 million dollar seed round led by Supercell and a16z speedrun. The product is still labelled Open Beta.

Read the full background

The main agent, Nilo AI, keeps chat history between sessions and writes a Game Design Document from your prompts so later changes stay consistent; smaller Mini Agents edit one selected object at a time, alongside it. Behind the 3D generation sit more than 20 models you can switch between. A JavaScript code editor is there for people who want to change logic by hand or by prompt. Friends can build in the same world at once, and a published world opens in Sandbox or Spectator mode. Objects leave as standard 3D files, whole worlds can be imported into Roblox Studio, and a Workbench tool makes R15 Roblox characters. On 15 November 2026 the Explore page at play.nilo.io listed featured worlds without an account, but opening one sent us to the login page.

It suits groups of teenagers or adults building a shared 3D space together online, Roblox creators who need models, characters and whole maps without learning Blender, and anyone who wants 3D rather than flat 2D from the first prompt.

It is a weaker choice for a solo maker who wants a polished, finished game to sell, or for younger children. Its own help pages say there are no parental controls yet, and its tagline is making games with friends rather than shipping to a store. For a game that plays from a link on a phone, Rosebud AI runs in any browser and Astrocade has iPhone and Android apps, while Summer Engine is the route to a desktop 3D game on Steam. Roblox builders working inside Studio should also read our Roblox Studio guide, which covers Roblox Assistant. For props alone, Meshy and Tripo are standalone 3D generators.
