ServiceNow provides a single mobile and web application development platform to quickly build business applications to power digital transformation. Learn how anyone can automate, extend, and build digital workflow apps across
the enterprise with the ServiceNow AI Platform.  
This content covers the application development stages to help developers easily build applications on the ServiceNow AI Platform.

* [Plan your application development](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/O1ty~Ttz32uIt897JrHUhg "The planning process is the most important step in building an application. Thinking through design and configuration before building has both immediate and long-term benefits for the application."): Think through the application before building it.
* [Build your application](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/sqnJ4~hi5fLzxCowIuQTKw "Build and define the data, design elements, and logic that make up your application."): Create and configure the application and its components.
* [Use agentic AI to build and edit applications](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/c02JqktGYDBjRV8Yj~IRvQ "Use agentic AI to help create and edit applications. Agentic AI can also summarize what an app does and help you generate code."): Create applications with help from agentic AI.
* [Validate app functionality](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/lsqjcF4AY~g6HdfE2gMEng "As the application is built, validate that it works as expected."): Perform functional testing and write test cases.
* [Deploy your app](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/N4eZRCCtM2bDwAGNodb4SQ "Once the application is built and validated, the application needs to be moved to the production environment. Applications can be moved through an application repository or by using Update Sets. Applications should be deployed to test environments prior to moving to production."): Move the application into production.
