# Agentic development

# Agentic development {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia

Agentic development is an AI-driven approach to app development in which you build applications through conversations with AI. On the ServiceNow AI Platform, developers can use Build Agent to build entire applications through agentic development.

Build Agent is an AI agent designed for developers within ServiceNow Studio and the ServiceNow Integrated Development Environment (ServiceNow IDE). It can act an autonomous AI agent capable of independently generating a complete ServiceNow® scoped or global application.

Agentic development differs from contextual assistance in that Build Agent builds each app component for you in the development experience of your choosing (ServiceNow Studio or the ServiceNow IDE). Rather than having to navigate from one development tool to another to build your application, Build Agent handles building each component independently, while you continue to describe and refine what you need conversationally.

For more information, see [Agentic development on the ServiceNow AI Platform](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/rE8VIDifcGAvwl1gAWvWHg "Agentic development, or vibe coding, is an AI-driven approach to application development. 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.").
