Cursor
AI agent
Cloud-hosted coding agents (formerly Background Agents) that run in isolated virtual machines with full development environments, work across multiple repositories in parallel, and produce merge-ready pull requests; reachable from Cursor Web, Desktop, iOS, Slack, GitHub/Bitbucket, Linear or the API.
Developer tool
AI code-review tool that runs automatically in the background on new pull requests, flags likely logic bugs with a low false-positive rate, and proposes fixes directly in the Cursor editor.
Code editor built on VS Code that edits, refactors and runs a codebase from natural-language instructions.
ServiceNow
AI agent
Autonomous agents that execute IT, HR and customer service workflows on the Now Platform.
Creates and updates ServiceNow applications from natural-language prompts (ServiceNow's vibe-coding / app-building agent).
Developer tool
ServiceNow's tool for building and testing enterprise AI agents on the Now Platform.
No counterpart

Application
ServiceNow's generative-AI and semantic search layer, surfacing answers from knowledge articles, FAQs and platform data across portals, mobile apps and Virtual Agent.
Lets any AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or custom) execute governed ServiceNow actions headlessly through MCP and A2A protocols, applying ServiceNow's own workflow guardrails to third-party agent calls.
AI document-processing app that extracts information from PDFs and scanned documents and classifies multi-page documents by user-defined type, with human-in-the-loop feedback for variable documents.
An AI assistant that unifies Now Assist, Moveworks and AI Experience into one voice, chat and text interface for completing work across ServiceNow-connected systems.
Built-in machine-learning layer that classifies and routes incidents/cases, generates smart recommendations, detects major incidents and predicts resolution times across Now Platform workflows.
Platform
Governance layer that inventories every AI agent, model and MCP server in an estate and monitors what they do.
