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.\n\nAutonomous app development on the ServiceNow AI Platform is agentic development.\n\n\\[Omitted image \"vc-platform-inherit.png\"\\] Alt text: Apps inherit the security and governance from the ServiceNow AI Platform\n\nAgentic development with the ServiceNow AI Platform collapses the traditional app development lifecycle—from ideation to deployment—into minutes instead of weeks.\n\n**Note:**\n\n-   This document intends to provide a holistic view of agentic development on the ServiceNow AI Platform. It is not a document for a specific product, but instead compiles resources and links off to other products, agents, and skills for you to learn more and get started with agentic development faster.\n-   Agentic development encompasses a range of approaches to AI-assisted app building:\n\n    -   In one approach, developers provide a goal and deploy the generated output without reviewing the underlying code.\n    -   In another approach, agentic development is an iterative, conversational process in which developers guide AI generation, review the output, and retain responsibility for the generated code.\n    ServiceNow provides tools to help you review, refine, and test apps throughout agentic development, including Build Agent and ServiceNow Otto for Creator.\n\n\n## Key features and benefits of agentic development on the ServiceNow AI Platform\n\n|Benefit|Feature|Role|\n|-------|-------|----|\n|Full-stack development|Build Agent autonomously generates full-stack applications while comprehending the ServiceNow data model and leveraging the controls and integration capabilities of the ServiceNow AI Platform.|admin|\n|Built-in security and governance|Governance includes code optimization, ACL enforcement, App Engine Management Center, and security checks for generated scripts.|admin|\n|Context-aware|ServiceNow AI Platform agentic development tools recognize concepts, tables, business rules, and workflows specific to ServiceNow.|now.assist.creator|\n|Versatile tasks|Beyond building new apps, ServiceNow AI Platform agentic development tools can explain code, debug issues, rewrite tables, validate applications, and fix errors.|admin or delegated\\_developer|\n|Self-healing code|Build Agent can automatically analyze and repair errors without human intervention.|admin or delegated\\_developer|\n\n## Why use agentic development on the ServiceNow AI Platform\n\nYou can develop agentically with any number of products on the market. However, when you practice agentic development on the ServiceNow AI Platform, you can take advantage of the backend, hosting, and built-in governance. Use the contextual awareness of the ServiceNow AI Platform and all its built-in capabilities as a trusted place to develop and host apps developed agentically.\n\nThe ServiceNow AI Platform agentic development tools have direct access to the existing data models, ACLs, business rules, and automation patterns in your instance. When you use ServiceNow AI products to create an application, the tools already have access to your table structures, security setup, and how workflows are configured in your instance. This context depth enables you to generate code that fits your environment rather than generic code that needs adapting.\n\nAdditionally, governance is built in to ServiceNow AI Platform agentic development and vibe coding tools, so your applications are secure. For more information, see [Governance for agentic development](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/vc-governance.md).\n\nYour app doesn't have to be completely developed inside the ServiceNow AI Platform to take advantage of its offerings. A standalone app that's agentically developed can still connect to a ServiceNow AI Platform data model. Your end users don't have to know it's ServiceNow, for example, if the app looks completely different, fulfillers can still use workspaces to track requests from a Service Portal.\n\n## Get started\n\n<table id=\"table_t4c_zrt_mhc\" class=\"nav-card presentation\"><tbody><tr><td>\n\n[Explore\\[Omitted image \"bus-explore.svg\"\\] Alt text:Explore agentic development on the ServiceNow AI Platform.](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/exploring-vibe-coding.md)\n\n</td><td>\n\n[Onboard\\[Omitted image \"bus-sdlc.svg\"\\] Alt text:Browse information on onboarding with agentic development.](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/vibe-coding-onboarding.md)\n\n</td></tr><tr><td>\n\n[Use\\[Omitted image \"bus-learn.svg\"\\] Alt text:Create, test, and deploy applications with agentic development tools.](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/vibe-coding-using.md)\n\n</td><td>\n\n[Reference\\[Omitted image \"bus-learn.svg\"\\] Alt text:Reference information for agentic development, such as prompt examples.](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/vibe-coding-reference-landing.md)\n\n</td></tr></tbody>\n</table>## Helpful resources\n\nSome ServiceNow resources that can provide you with helpful information are:\n\n-   **Getting started guide**\n\n    [Getting Started guide for developers](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/getting-started-landing-page.md)\n\n-   **Build Agent docs**\n\n    [Build Agent](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/build-agent.md)\n\n-   **Community Build Agent announcement**\n\n    [Vibe coding at scale is here in the ServiceNow AI Platform](https://www.servicenow.com/community/product-launch-blogs/vibe-coding-at-scale-is-here-in-the-servicenow-ai-platform/ba-p/3375076)\n\n-   **Vibe coding with ServiceNow Build Agent**\n\n    [Build Agent introductory video](https://players.brightcove.net/5703385908001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6378173687112)\n\n-   **App Engine Academy recordings**\n\n    [App Engine Academy playlist on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkGSnjw5y2U4Td38CczvfDKxhcOuwg4CC)\n\n-   **Support**\n\n    [Contact Customer Service and Support](https://support.servicenow.com/now)\n\n\n"}}
