Questions on the #BuildMoreWithBuildAgent challenge

VisharaJ · 3 weeks ago

Planning on using the build agent to create an app but since the #BuildMoreWithBuildAgent challenge is already over for this year is it still possible for me to request for a PDI and take a look at it?

Additionally, I'd like to know if this is an annual event or if it was a one-time event that took place this year.

Thank you in advance!

Hi @VisharaJ

You can still request a free Personal Developer Instance (PDI) and use Build Agent even though the challenge has ended.

The challenge is an annual event hosted by the ServiceNow Community, while Build Agent remains available year-round for developing and enhancing your applications.

Note: It is the Only AI tool in PDI which is already available for all PDI user which user can do trial .

With the Build Agent (Trial) app, your instance will receive 100 free user interactions for 30 days at no additional charge, enabling you to explore the Build Agent features at no cost. If you exceed the limit of free interactions, you can either wait for your free interactions to reset after 30 days or install the paid Build Agent app on your instance to continue using its services.

Build Agent is an autonomous developer AI agent inside ServiceNow Studio and the ServiceNow IDE. It benefits customers by significantly accelerating application development on the ServiceNow platform. Build Agent automates many of the repetitive and time-consuming tasks that developers currently perform manually. This leads to:

1. Increased developer productivity.

2. Reduced development backlogs.

3. Faster time-to-market for new business applications.

4. A potential reduction in overall development costs.

Hi @VisharaJ

Don't worry—this is quite common at the moment.

Over the past few days, many community members have reported delays when requesting a PDI. In some cases, the waiting period has been 2-3 weeks or even longer, especially for lower ServiceNow versions.

You can try requesting an instance on an earlier release, such as Zurich or an older version, but there may still be a waiting period due to high demand.

For now, patience is the best approach, as PDI availability depends on overall demand and ServiceNow's infrastructure capacity.

Was actually able to get an instance in the Zurich version after I left the waitlist for Australia. All worked out! Thanks!
