Autonomous Engineer uses Build Agent, a separate AI agent, as its execution layer. Autonomous Engineer helps teams move from a defined story to a working application in less time. For more information, see [Autonomous Engineer](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/cz1PAbuL7A~2bCgbnWOeSg "The ServiceNow Autonomous Engineer application is an agentic AI worker that builds applications from your requirements. It generates a plan with structured work items, and background agents build the work items in parallel."). ## Build Agent {#build-ai-workflow-factory-prime__section_build_agent} Build Agent is an autonomous AI agent that generates full-stack ServiceNow® applications from natural language descriptions. You describe the application you need in the chat panel in ServiceNow Studio or the ServiceNow IDE, and Build Agent generates the necessary code, organizes files, and manages both the core logic and user interface components. You can also ask it general questions about developing on the ServiceNow AI Platform. Build Agent can enhance existing custom applications with agentic capabilities. It evaluates existing app context, such as tables, roles, business rules, and metadata, and generates in-app agents, skills, and agentic workflows scoped to your application's data model. Generated agents are automatically registered in AI Control Tower for centralized governance, and all artifacts deploy through standard update sets. For more information, see [Build Agent](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/fI1kj9rVymgaAzxpQYyEOA "The ServiceNow Build Agent application is an autonomous AI agent that creates and updates ServiceNow applications from natural language prompts. You can also use Build Agent to get answers to general ServiceNow development questions."). ## Developer Sandboxes {#build-ai-workflow-factory-prime__section_qln_p1b_xkc} Developer Sandboxes provide admins and delegated developers the ability to request, access, and manage individual sandboxes on top of the same underlying development instance. Delegated developers can write and merge code and configuration changes without the risk of their changes getting overwritten on the instance mid-development. For more information, see [Developer Sandboxes](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/4NKj2TtMxu0NBruxw~pxdA "Developer Sandboxes are isolated development environments on a shared instance. Delegated developers use them to build and merge changes in parallel, and admins request and manage them."). ## ServiceNow Otto for Creator {#build-ai-workflow-factory-prime__section_gsf_xwt_pfc} ServiceNow Otto for Creator includes generative and agentic AI capabilities that can make developing on the ServiceNow AI Platform more efficient. You can use the generative AI skills available with ServiceNow Otto for Creator, app summary generation, flow generation, and UI generation. ServiceNow Otto for Creator also includes Build Agent, an autonomous AI agent that can develop full-stack applications ready for deployment through conversations using natural language. For more information, see [ServiceNow Otto for Creator](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Hc7~q~OG4Wd6kIoCfP9fzA "ServiceNow Otto for Creator includes generative and agentic AI capabilities that can make developing on the ServiceNow AI Platform more efficient."). * **[Autonomous Engineer](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/cz1PAbuL7A~2bCgbnWOeSg)** The ServiceNow® Autonomous Engineer application is an agentic AI worker that builds applications from your requirements.

Use agentic development and ServiceNow agentic-assisted app building tools to describe your goals in natural language, and have the ServiceNow AI Platform generate full-stack applications, workflows, and integrations. The ServiceNow AI Platform automatically incorporates governance into the app creation process.
