Ramen, developer of the best-in-class multi-agent AI assistant for Unity and Unreal Engine, today launched Aura Autopilot, an open source, state-of-the art game playtesting agent that improves itself the more it plays. Alongside the launch the company has published a whitepaper that covers benchmark results and high-level architecture.

Aura Autopilot is the latest feature addition to be integrated into the top 20 ranking app for AI agentic usage, Aura 1.0, which launched in September. Since then, Aura has gained traction and captivated developers for its frontier-level offerings with frequent ongoing improvements. Ramen’s revenue has tripled while both subscribers and daily users have increased six fold.

“Aura Autopilot plays any game in real time and learns as it goes, getting better the more it plays,” said Andy Tsen, CEO and Co-founder at Ramen. “That opens a new frontier for game QA, and we’re open sourcing it so developers and researchers can take it further.”

An Agent That Can Play Any Game

Aura Autopilot during early testing can be seen successfully playing a variety of games including shooters, action role playing games, mobile games, survival crafting games, turn-based JRPGs, and realtime strategy games, all in real time. It learns a game as it goes, plans toward long-term goals, and stays steerable, so developers can point it at the exact system they want tested. Paired with Aura, it closes the loop on feature work: Aura builds a gameplay feature end to end and Autopilot playtests it. Watch Aura Autopilot in action on YouTube.

Open Sourced, Bring Your Own Model

Ramen believes game-playing agents should be built in the open and improved over time, and invites developers of all types and sizes to build and test their games with Aura Autopilot, whether access through open source or Aura subscription.

The testing agent works with existing Claude Code and Codex subscriptions and developers using the standalone (open source) version of Aura Autopilot can utilize their own API key. The project is live on GitHub today, and developers can join the Ramen community on Discord.

Benchmarks and Whitepaper

The Aura whitepaper details the Aura Autopilot architecture and benchmarks it against other game development agents on cost, speed and accuracy. Highlights include:

  • Significantly faster: Runs 3x faster than Aura’s Verification Agent, at a lower cost

  • Outperforms leading competitors: Beats competing products, as well as general-purpose coding agents like Claude Code and Codex, at testing games

  • Recursively self-improving: The more Autopilot plays a game, the better it gets and the faster it returns results for developers to help with development progress and timelines

  • Open source [new]: Runs in Unreal Engine, Unity and Godot; with Claude Code, Codex or BYOK and integrates with Aura subscriptions

What’s New in Aura

Ramen is continuing to release new features for Aura. New Figma and Blender integrations take developers from mockup to in-game UI efficiently and fast. Character Motion has been added, which allows developers to describe an animation and Aura will generate it for characters in the engine. Additionally, an overhauled level design agent improves level blockout results with less cost. This new approach also scales up, so entire cities and areas can be blocked out.

Aura Autopilot is available now on GitHub. Aura 1.0 is available for Windows and Mac, with ongoing support for Unity and Unreal Engine. Sign up at www.tryaura.dev. For the latest updates, follow Ramen on YouTube.

About Aura

Aura is Ramen’s best-in-class team of AI agents for game developers building on Unity and Unreal Engine. Launched in Sept. 2026 with new features frequently added, it quickly became one of the top 20 apps for AI agentic usage on OpenRouter. Aura features a set of intelligences rather than a set of tools. It assists with almost every part of a project, including editor manipulation, gameplay systems, art, debugging, testing, and QA. Aura also verifies its own work: it builds something, launches the game, tests it, and keeps iterating. Aura is available now on Windows and Mac for both Unity and Unreal Engine, and on the Fab store.
