Creator Studio
Creator Studio is a no-code application builder on the ServiceNow AI Platform that lets non-developers create request-fulfillment apps without writing code. Use Creator Studio to build apps that manage employee requests, approvals, and fulfillments, such as equipment requests or travel approvals, directly on the ServiceNow AI Platform.
Creator Studio specializes in Service Desk request-fulfillment applications, where one person submits a request and another person fulfills it. Service Desk apps enable users to submit requests, report issues, and access support related to services within your company. Use ServiceNow AI Platform to build apps that handle common workplace requests, so your team can submit, review, approve, and fulfill them in one place.
ServiceNow AI Platform supports apps for requests, such as:
- Ordering equipment, such as keyboards or monitors
- Approving travel or purchase requests
- Granting permissions, such as vacation approvals
- Distributing recognition gifts or awards

Which builder should I use to create an app?
Want to build an app easily, without code?
Creator Studio specializes in helping you craft request-fulfillment applications without writing code. For example, an application to request office supplies by filling out a form, and someone approves or denies your request. For more information, see Exploring Creator Studio.
Need a more general app but still want low-code options?
App Engine Studio lets you build a broader range of apps than Creator Studio without being a programming pro. For more information, see Exploring App Engine Studio.

Are you a developer who wants to use industry-standard development tools and processes?
The ServiceNow IDE and ServiceNow SDK support developing applications in source code with ServiceNow Fluent, creating JavaScript modules, and using third-party libraries. ServiceNow Fluent is a domain-specific programming language for creating application metadata in code.
The ServiceNow IDE is an implementation of Visual Studio Code for the Web on the ServiceNow AI Platform. The ServiceNow SDK uses Visual Studio Code Desktop locally. For more information, see Building applications in source code.
What apps are in ServiceNow
A ServiceNow app is a package that performs a specific task for a specified group of users. Think of an app as a container with a set of rules around who can access and edit it. For example, ServiceNow apps can include an API, a table, a workspace, a form, a flow, or any combination of those things.
A Creator Studio app uses forms and automation to enable users to request something and move the request through the approval process. Creator Studio also enables you to the see the fulfiller's view of the Request App Workspace for the app.
What you can do after you build an app in Creator Studio
After you build an app in Creator Studio, you can open the app in any other ServiceNow builder so that you can add more advanced functionality without rebuilding from scratch.
For example:
- Open the app in Workflow Studio to add complex automations.
- Open the app in ServiceNow Studio to add different interfaces. Select Open in ServiceNow Studio from the app's tile on the Creator Studio home page to open the app directly.
