AI That Builds Apps From Your Ideas? Meet ServiceNow Build Agent

[Kristy Merriam]

Ever wish you could skip the boilerplate setup and just get straight to building real features? With ServiceNow Build Agent, that wish is now a reality.

In this quick 'Did You Know?' episode, @Jerry kk Wong and @Isela Phelps introduce us to the Build Agent: an AI-powered assistant built right into the ServiceNow IDE. Just describe the app you want in natural language, and it handles the rest—from tables to logic to user interfaces.

 

Why It’s a Game Changer

Build Agent changes how developers and product owners interact with the platform:

• Product Owners can go from idea to prototype without waiting on dev cycles.

• Developers can skip repetitive setup and focus on innovation and custom logic.

And it’s not just about automation—it’s about augmentation. The AI works with you, improving with your input. Detailed prompts (called YOLO prompts) give it the context it needs to deliver higher-quality results with fewer interactions.

 

Try It for Free

Use Cases

Jerry and Isela have used Build Agent to quickly spin up tools like a Mental Connect Hub and a Development Hub, simply by guiding the agent with conversational input.
