Build an application called Software Asset Optimization - #BuildWithBuildAgent

New article articles in ServiceNow Community · Nov 13, 2025 · article

As part of the #BuildWithBuildAgent challenge, I used ServiceNow's Build Agent to create a application called Software Asset Optimization, entirely from natural language prompts. Here's a step-by-step walkthrough of how I build and demoed the app on my Personal Developer Instance (PDI).

Step 1: Define the App Concept

I started with a clear goal: Build an application called Software Asset Optimization -Use Software Asset Management (SAM) to track license usage and reclaim unused licenses. -Configure reclamation workflows that automatically notify users with unused software and reassign licenses. -Reduces overspending on software by up to 30% and dashboards.

Step 2: Prompt Build Agent

I used the following prompt:

"Build an application called Software Asset Optimization -Use Software Asset Management (SAM) to track license usage and reclaim unused licenses. -Configure reclamation workflows that automatically notify users with unused software and reassign licenses. -Reduces overspending on software by up to 30%"

Build Agent responded with a fully scoped app:
