# Build apps using App Engine Studio

ServiceNow® App Engine Studio \(AES\) is a guided, low-code tool for developing rich web applications to store information, automate business processes, and solve business problems. Work that was once assigned to administrators can now be delegated to employees with little to no training using AES.

## Get started

By delegating development to citizen developers in your organization, administrators are freed up to address more strategic, system-wide priorities. AES can help you do the following:

-   Build powerful apps quickly to fit any business need by using a suite of development tools, including guided workflows and templates.
-   Create experiences users love with Catalog Builder, Workflow Studio, Workspace Builder, Mobile App Builder, and other integrated tools.
-   Scale apps without sprawl with straightforward governance and tools that support both citizen and pro developers, such as App Engine Management Center \(AEMC\).
