Build with your ChatGPT Plan
Use your existing ChatGPT subscription to create games on CodeWisp without spending CodeWisp credits. This guide walks you through the three steps to get started.
Prefer not to connect ChatGPT? You can keep building with credits instead. See our general getting-started guide for the credits path.
Step 1 — Sign in or create your CodeWisp account
You need a CodeWisp account before you can connect ChatGPT.
- Sign in or Sign up at codewisp.ai/sign-up (email, Google, or Apple).
- If prompted, finish setup at codewisp.ai/complete-signup — confirm you are 13 or older and accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
- Sign in at codewisp.ai/sign-in if you already have an account.
You're done when: you can reach your home page or My Games while signed in.
Step 2 — Connect your ChatGPT account
This links your ChatGPT plan to CodeWisp so AI game generation bills to ChatGPT instead of credits.
Before you start
Important
- This is not official OpenAI API access, and CodeWisp is not affiliated with OpenAI.
- You are responsible for following OpenAI's terms for your own ChatGPT account. OpenAI can limit or suspend your ChatGPT account at any time.
- You need a ChatGPT plan that includes Codex access.
Connect
- Open Settings and find ChatGPT connectionOr open the model picker on the Create page or in the game editor.
- Click Connect ChatGPT.
- Read the disclosure, check "I understand and want to connect my ChatGPT account.", then click Continue.
- Copy the device code shown in the dialog.
- Click Open ChatGPT and enter the code on the Codex device authorization page.
- Return to CodeWisp and wait until you see Connected as …
If authorization fails
- Code expired — close the dialog, click Connect ChatGPT again, and use the new code.
- ChatGPT won't accept the code — in ChatGPT, go to Security settings and make sure device code authorization for Codex is enabled.
- Account already linked — that ChatGPT email is connected to a different CodeWisp account. Disconnect it there first, or use a different ChatGPT account.
- Rate or plan limits — wait and try again, or switch to credits in the model picker.
You're done when: Settings or the model picker shows your ChatGPT account as connected.
Step 3 — Make your first game
- Open the model picker and select ChatGPT Plan. It should show Free — no credits are spent on this path.
- Go to codewisp.ai/create.
- Describe your game in plain English. For example: "A space shooter where I dodge asteroids and collect power-ups."
- Submit and wait for the AI to generate your game. You'll land in the editor with a playable preview.
- Keep refining in chat — try prompts like "make the player move faster" or "add a score counter."
You're done when: you can play your game in the editor preview and see it listed under My Games.
What's next
- Publish — use the publish flow in the editor to share your game with others.
- Disconnect ChatGPT — anytime from Settings or the model picker; after disconnecting, AI generation uses credits again.
