Looking for a Godot AI plugin

If you came here looking for something to drop into `addons/` in your existing project, this is not that. Flockbay is a standalone desktop application for Windows, and it ships with its own copy of Godot inside the bundle.

That is a real difference and worth understanding before you decide it is the wrong shape. It does not mean your work is locked away: the project it produces is a normal Godot project in a folder on your disk, which you can open in Godot directly whenever you like.

An editor plugin inherits every variable in the user's setup. Which Godot version, which renderer, which of six ways their project is laid out, which other addons are installed and what those addons have already changed. A plugin that generates code has to be right across all of that, and it cannot be, so it is right on the developer's machine and unreliable everywhere else.

Shipping the engine removes the variables. There is one Godot version, one project shape, one set of capabilities present. When Flockbay writes GDScript, it is writing against a world it can actually see, in an engine it knows the version of. That is most of the difference between generated code that works and generated code that references a node that does not exist.

It also removes the install problem. There is no engine to download separately, no version to match, and no addon to keep in step when either side updates.

A plugin sits inside the Godot editor and inherits its interface. Flockbay has its own builder, and which one you get is decided when the project is made: 2D or 3D, shown as two pictures, with no default. In a 3D project you shape terrain, outline water, set weather and sky, and place buildings and characters by hand. In a 2D one you drag tile ground into place and drag it back out again, and drop, drag and resize sprites with the mouse. That is the half of the work you do either way, and the builder is designed for it rather than bolted into a panel.

The other half is Flockbay writing the code. You describe what should happen and it writes GDScript into the project. You play it locally, decide what is wrong, and say so.

Neither half of that fits comfortably into a dock panel in someone else's editor, which is the practical reason as much as the technical one.

Be honest with yourself about what you want. If you write GDScript happily and want completion and refactoring help inside the editor you already use, an editor-integrated assistant is the right category and this is not it.

If what you want is to build worlds fast without writing the behaviour code, this is worth trying, and the output is a project you can take back into Godot at any point. Some people use it for the world and the first pass of systems, then continue in Godot directly. Nothing prevents that.

Building needs an internet connection because the chat, asset generation and world data come over the network; playing does not. Flockbay is free on your own AI: your Claude or ChatGPT plan, your own agent, or an API key.
