## Get started with prompting {#build-agent-tutorial__section_y3b_ng5_djc}

To get started with Build Agent, try one of the following approaches.

* Prototype a simple app: Describe a straightforward application in one or two sentences. Review the plan that Build Agent presents, then approve it to start the build. This approach lets you learn the workflow with low risk.
* Document an existing app: Open a custom scoped app and ask Build Agent to summarize its architecture, data model, roles, and key components. This produces useful documentation with no risk to the app.
* Extend an existing app or base system table: Add a field, a business rule, or an ACL to an app you're familiar with. Build Agent supports global-scope tables such as Incident, as well as custom and ServiceNow Store apps.
