#BuildWith is BACK! Here's your first look

For the fourth year in a row, #BuildWith is back, and this time, we’re excited to see what you’ll create with ServiceNow Build Agent! Here’s your first look at what’s ahead. The full challenge guide, submission details, and instructions will be shared on November 12th, so stay tuned! 

This is your chance to jump into a brand-new way of building apps. Build Agent introduces vibe coding, a chat-based interface that feels more like a conversation than a command line. You talk, it builds. It’s fast, intuitive, and fun! Just describe what you want, and it gets to work. 

Ready to build something amazing? Let’s get started.  

 

#BuildWith is a FUN, global challenge that brings the Community together to explore what’s possible with ServiceNow’s latest tools. Each year, this challenge empowers the Community to dive in and experiment with new release features, turning ideas into real solutions. 

This is your chance to get hands-on and build something that addresses an opportunity for yourself or your organization.  

 

Following Community Week, the #BuildWithBuildAgent Challenge officially kicks off on November 12 and runs through November 24. 

Community Week is where you’ll learn the skills, through hands-on sessions, demos, and expert-led workshops. #BuildWith gives you the chance to put those skills into action.  

To join the challenge, grab your free personal developer instance from developer.servicenow.com or jump straight into the ServiceNow IDE in your instance. 

You’ll simply build your app using natural language prompts, share your experience on social media, and submit your post link along with a short description on Community.  

Everyone who participates will earn exclusive swag, a digital badge for their Community profile, and a chance to be featured in our App Gallery. Don’t worry, we’ll walk you through the entire submission process on November 12th!  

Until then, comment or subscribe to this blog to receive inbox updates related to #BuildWith. 

We can’t wait to see what you build!

CJ & The Duke crew took a look at Build Agent for 20 minutes yesterday with some impressive results.
I found that I needed to be ultra specific about modules.  It didn't think to make them on its own.
And we didn't find a way to get it to construct related lists on forms reliably.  But that is only in 20 minutes and 10 prompts worth of trying

Hi @laurentapia,

Hi everyone,

Building My Canteen Order Tracking App Using ServiceNow Build Agent.

Youtube Link :- Click Here 

I recently tried the #BuildWithBuildAgent challenge and created a small but very useful app called Canteen Order Tracker. I made the entire app using just a simple English prompt in the ServiceNow IDE, and honestly, the Build Agent made everything super easy.

Step 1: Idea of the App

I wanted to build something that can help in daily office life.
So I planned an app where:

Employees can place their food orders

Kitchen team can see all incoming orders

Counter staff can see which orders are ready for pickup

System sends a message to the user when their food is ready

Each order gets a unique Order ID like ORD000123

Simple and very practical.

 Step 2: The Prompt I Used

This is the exact prompt I gave to Build Agent:

Create a canteen order tracking app. Add a table called canteen_orders with fields:
Order ID (ORD prefix), User, Item Name (dropdown), Quantity, Special Instructions, and Status.
Create a Record Producer for employees to place orders and auto-fill user.
Generate unique Order IDs.
Add a Kitchen Dashboard for active orders and a Counter Dashboard for Ready orders.
Add a flow to notify users when their order is Ready.
Add roles: kitchen staff can update status, employees see only their own orders.
Add simple AI: predict prep time and show popular items.

Build Agent did the rest for me.

📦 What Build Agent Created

• Custom Table

• Order ID (auto-generated)
• User reference
• Item dropdown (Burger, Pizza, Tea, etc.)
• Quantity
• Special instructions
• Status (New, In Progress, Ready, Completed)

Record Producer (Order Form)

1. Clean form for placing orders
2. Auto-filled user
3. Confirmation with Order ID

Dashboards

Kitchen Dashboard: see and update all active orders

Counter Dashboard: show ready orders with big Order IDs

Notifications

         When order becomes Ready, user gets a message

Extra Features

• Prep-time prediction
• Popular item suggestions

Thoughts

I am honestly impressed with the Build Agent.
With just a short prompt, it created the full app — tables, dashboards, flows, and even scripts. This really saves a lot of time and effort.

Hi All,
I’m happy to share that I attended the Build Agent app-creation session andI have successfully completed #BuildWithBuildAgent” Challenge.
It was truly fun and exciting to see how quickly the Build Agent can generate a complete application—in just a few prompts.

Idea:

Managers kick off a PIP for their reportees with a quick PIP Request record—. A signed PIP document seals the plan officially.

From there, managers and employees team up to map out growth needs, while HR jumps in to assign the right training. All sessions are logged in the PIP Coaching Class table, and managers get instant notifications when coaching is scheduled.

Weekly updates and PIP status flow right through the portal and workspace, keeping both managers and HR fully in sync. HR gets alerts for every key milestone—new PIPs, weekly progress, and final assessments.

At the end, managers submit the final review. HR closes the PIP if goals are met—otherwise, the plan extends and gets tracked in the PIP Extension table for another growth cycle. Smart role-based access managers see only their own teams, employees see only their own PIPs.

Build Agent Created: 
Portal view
Manager create request from PIP Form
Workspace view
3 Functional tables like PIP Coaching class, PIP Request, PIP Extension.
Persona for Employee, HR , Manager.
