The words used in VibeStarter, Roblox and AI providers often look alike. This page gives the exact meaning of each one, and links to the page that details it.

Three pairs never to confuse

-   **Quota** (your AI provider) and **credits** (VibeStarter): two different counters, from two different vendors.
-   **The asset bank** (VibeStarter) and **the Toolbox** (Roblox): two different pools.
-   **The VibeStarter Discord** (for customers) and **your game’s Discord** (for your players): two different servers.

| Term | What it is | Learn more |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Affiliate program** | The program that pays you when someone buys VibeStarter through your link. | [The affiliate program](/en/offres/affiliation/) |
| **Agent** | An AI coding assistant that works in your project: it reads and writes files, tests the game in Studio, creates assets. | [AI agents](/en/application/agents/) |
| **Favorite agent** | The first agent whose sign-in is confirmed. Its icon is pinned by default in the project bar, and it is the one the app suggests on an empty tab. | [Getting around the interface](/en/application/premiers-pas/interface/) |
| **Game analytics** | The dashboard that reads what players do in your game. Not yet open to customers. | [Game analytics](/en/services/analytics/) |
| **Preview before adding** | The fact that each generated asset is shown to you before it enters the game. | [Check what the agent suggests to you](/en/application/assets/valider/) |
| **Blender workshop** | The space where your agents build 3D models, and where you find the drafts to validate. Not to be confused with the AI Studio. | [3D models](/en/application/assets/modeles-3d/) |
| **AI Studio** | The space where **you** create yourself: Visuals, Skins, Image → 3D, Model → 2D. It is not the Blender workshop. | [The AI Studio](/en/application/assets/atelier-ia/) |
| **Before launch** | The strip above the grid, before launch: asset search mode, 3D model method and preview before adding. It disappears afterwards. | [Launch and run your agents](/en/application/agents/lancer-et-piloter/) |
| **Studio lease** | The booking of a place by an agent, so that two agents don’t get in each other’s way. It is released on its own. | [What agents can do in Studio](/en/application/studio/agents-dans-studio/) |
| **Asset bank** | The shared library of VibeStarter members: icons, 3D models, music, sound effects. It is not Roblox’s Toolbox. | [Assets](/en/application/assets/) |
| **Local library** | Your assets kept on this computer, private, **never synced** from one machine to another. “Local” badge. | [Where your assets go](/en/application/assets/ou-vont-tes-assets/) |
| **Draft (3D model)** | A model that has been calculated but not yet accepted by you. Technically valid does not mean approved. | [3D models](/en/application/assets/modeles-3d/) |
| **CCU** | The number of players connected at the same time (_concurrent users_). A Roblox metric. | [Game analytics](/en/services/analytics/) |
| **Open Cloud key** | A key you create on Roblox’s Creator Hub, needed only for Game Passes and developer products. It expires after 60 days without use. | [Link your Roblox account](/en/application/studio/compte-roblox/) |
| **API keys (your own)** | Running your generations on your own Gemini, Meshy or ElevenLabs accounts rather than on your credits. Nothing to do with your AI coding subscription. | [Your API keys and your keychain](/en/application/reglages/cles-et-trousseau/) |
| **CLI** | The command-line program of an agent. VibeStarter installs and updates it for you. | [Connect your AI account](/en/application/agents/connecter-ton-ia/) |
| **Cloud** | The service that keeps the **code** of your projects and shares it with your team. It contains no images, sounds or models. | [Your code is backed up automatically](/en/application/projet/sauvegarde/) |
| **Community** | The per-game product that will open the wiki and Discord of a game. Not yet on sale. Not to be confused with the VibeStarter Discord community. | [Services for your game](/en/services/#products-per-game) |
| **Conflict** | Two people have changed the same lines. An agent handles it; you almost never have to decide yourself. | [When two changes overlap](/en/application/projet/conflits/) |
| **Credit top-ups** | A credit pack bought one time. They do not expire, work without a subscription, and are used after the monthly credits. | [AI credits](/en/offres/credits-ia/) |
| **AI credits** | The currency for VibeStarter generations: images, 3D models, music, sound effects, splitting. They do **not** pay for the agents’ work. | [AI credits](/en/offres/credits-ia/) |
| **Split a model** | Separating a 3D model into parts, so you can animate, color or hide them independently. | [Split a model](/en/application/assets/decouper-un-modele/) |

| **VibeStarter Discord** | The community of VibeStarter customers: mutual help, announcements, bug reports. | [The Discord community](/en/communaute/discord/) |
| **Launch dock** | The floating pill at the bottom of the grid. It is the only button that starts your agents, and it appears only once an agent has been added. | [Launch and run your agents](/en/application/agents/lancer-et-piloter/) |
| **Editor** | The role of an accepted collaborator on a project: they work on it and sync. | [Working with others](/en/application/projet/equipe/) |
