By default, ServiceNow Studio uses Build Agent to create apps with AI. To use the app generation skill instead, disable the Build Agent setting in your ServiceNow Studio preferences.

## Before you begin

Starting with the Australia release, app generation is being prepared for future deprecation. It will be hidden and no longer activated on new instances but will continue to be supported. Build Agent provides the latest experience for this functionality. For more information, see [Build Agent](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/uPGWJkjDyp1tG_cmu3eF3Q "Use Build Agent, an autonomous AI agent, for creating and updating ServiceNow applications. You can also ask Build Agent general ServiceNow development questions.").

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllApp EngineServiceNow Studio.
2. Select the user preferences menu.
3. Select Preferences.
4. In the Global behavior section, toggle off the switch for using Build Agent.
