After stealing the limelight at Knowledge24, I'm thrilled to announce that as of today, you can get your hands on a free instance with Creator Studio through ServiceNow's Personal Developer Instance program. In this blog, I'll discuss the specifics of what Creator Studio is and how to properly install it on your PDI.
What is Creator Studio? 🤔
Simply put - Creator Studio is a brand-new development environment with the sole purpose of assisting non-developers in creating request-based applications. It is not a replacement for Catalog Builder or App Engine Studio, but rather a complement to them, providing a brand-new entry point for app creation. Creator Studio walks its users through a guided process to create forms, playbooks, workspaces, and even the deployment of the application.
