Use Now Assist for app generation to add a workspace to a custom application.

## Before you begin

Role required: a now.assist.creator role and the now_assist_panel_user role  
Note:  
If you have users that only need to edit (not create) apps, they can be assigned the delegated_developer, now_assist_panel_user, and now.assist.creator roles.

To add a workspace to an application in Now Assist for app generation, the Now Assist Experience Generation skill must be active. For more information, see [Experience generation](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/XKz3lid6mJrumP07pMF5bw "Use experience generation to create a multi-page experience using natural language with Now Assist.").

## About this task

As you're creating or updating custom applications, use Now Assist for app generation to add a workspace to your application. Specify what you want in the workspace or ask for recommendations.  
Note:  
The following steps explain how to add a workspace to an existing application, but the process to add a workspace to an application that you're creating is similar.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to App EngineServiceNow Studio.
2. Select the Now Assist icon.

7. Specify what you want or ask for suggestions.  
   Now Assist for app generation can suggest a variety of elements to include in a workspace.

9. When you're ready, preview and save the application to view the workspace.
