Enhancements for Flow generation, and LLM training improvements for Flow and Code generation.

## Application generation

A conversational application building experience. "Create an app" is a new topic in the Now Assist panel. Now Assist gathers application requirements from users and creates an application specification which is then used to generate the application. Once generated, Now Assist hands users off to App Engine Studio to make further changes and add additional features.

## Playbook generation

Using a workflow description, generate a Playbook outline. Convert step-by-step text descriptions to playbook stages and child activities. AI interprets text cues such as concurrency e.g. "at the same time" or "meanwhile" to build playbooks that meet complex business processes.

## Catalog Item generation

Simplify Catalog Item creation by leveraging AI to generate text content and questions. AI understands question types, references and choices or uses best effort to create rich data driven Catalog Items.
