Autonomous Engineer is an agentic coding partner built into your SDLC. Feed it specs from your backlog and watch it turn raw requirements into a structured plan that it builds and tests against, all in a background run.
It works across implementations, platform customizations, and custom application development. Every requirement it receives becomes the standard for both the build and the test. When a requirement is unclear, Autonomous Engineer stops and asks instead of guessing. Nothing will be invented to fill a gap.
Finished work does not ship itself. It lands in a review queue with test results and clear validation steps, so you approve the outcome instead of grinding through the routine build and test work to get there. Domain best practices are packaged into Agent Packs that plug into the same engine, so the agent's coverage and depth of knowledge grows over time without changing how the tool works.
The result is development capacity that keeps moving on the routine work, so you spend time on the decisions only you can make.

- Backlog to build automation. Feed it specs from your backlog and watch it turn raw requirements into a structured plan that it builds and tests against, all in a background run.
- Requirements as a contract. Every requirement becomes the standard for both the build and the test. Nothing assumed, nothing added.
- No invented requirements. When something is unclear, Autonomous Engineer pauses and asks instead of guessing.
- Self healing test loop. A failed test triggers automatic root cause analysis, a fix, and a retest. If it cannot resolve on its own after repeated attempts, it flags the item for you with everything it tried.
- Developer review, not developer labor. Finished work lands in a validation queue with test results and step by step review instructions. You approve everything that is built.
- Agent Packs for domain best practices. Best practices are encoded into reusable Agent Packs, so builds follow proven patterns instead of one off decisions. New packs extend Autonomous Engineer into new domains over time.
- Pause, resume, and roll back. Stop and restart execution as priorities shift. Roll back a single work item without unwinding the whole plan.
- A complete handoff package. Approved work comes with an execution summary, release notes, a UAT guide, and an artifact manifest, ready for your release path.
New
- Generate implementations from specifications with Autonomous Engineer
- Automatic test generation from plans
- New model support for Azure OpenAI GPT 5.6 Sol and Anthropic Claude on AWS Opus 5
- Test suite authoring and execution
- ATF list step support
- Requires a AI Workflow Factory Prime subscription.
- Requires Build Agent Premium enabled on the instance; Autonomous Engineer runs as a dependent app on top of it.
- Requires Automated Test Framework (ATF) enabled, since generated tests run through ATF.
- Not currently available in regulated environments (NSC or GCC). Support for regulated environments is planned for a future release.
- Usage is metered through ServiceNow Assists
