Access all fields (including hidden), analyze logic, and monitor live GlideAjax activity.

Contextual Record Preview
Inspect related records in an overlay without leaving your current page.

Environment & Quick Switching
Safely switch between Dev, Test, and Prod with visual guardrails.

✨ New in v2.2.1 (Venus)
Related hierarchy (REQ → RITM → Task) visualization
Context pinning for uninterrupted debugging
Knowledge Base preview integration
Smart navigation with direct record linking

🏗️ Built for Performance & Reliability
Shadow DOM isolation (no UI conflicts)
Native push layout (non-intrusive experience)
Incremental search for large instances

🔐 Privacy First
100% local processing

No data collection or tracking
Encrypted fields are always masked

NowDev Assistant is designed for modern ServiceNow professionals who want faster workflows, deeper insights, and a seamless development experience inside Chrome.

🚀 NowDev Assistant – ServiceNow Developer Toolkit
Reclaim your flow state as a ServiceNow developer with a high-performance toolkit built directly into your browser. NowDev Assistant accelerates development, debugging, navigation, and cross-instance analysis inside ServiceNow—without page reloads or workflow disruption.

⚡ Core Capabilities
Natural Language Code Generation
Instantly generate GlideRecord and GlideAggregate scripts using simple commands.
Unified Search Center
Search across scripts, sys_ids, records, and navigation history from a single, fast interface.
Form Center (Deep Inspection Tools)
Access all fields (including hidden), analyze logic, inspect version history, and monitor live GlideAjax activity.
Contextual Record Preview
Inspect related records and metadata in an overlay without leaving your current page.
Environment & Quick Switching
Safely switch between Dev, Test, and Prod with visual guardrails and centralized environment controls.

🚀 New in v2.3.0 (Evolution)
Cross Instance Compare
Perform side-by-side comparisons of metadata, scripts, and configurations between two ServiceNow instances. Detect configuration drift instantly with Git-style script diffing and validate integrity across Dev, Test, and Prod environments.
Version Compare
Explore record version history directly within Form Center. View historical XML payloads, compare previous versions against the current state, and track exactly what changed and when.
Navigation Memory (History)
Persist navigation history across browser sessions. Quickly reopen recently accessed records, scripts, and work contexts with support for the last 20 visited items across instances.
List Preview & Saved Filters
Save complex ServiceNow conditions as reusable named filters. Use the enhanced List Helper to instantly preview the first 20 matching records without rebuilding queries.

✨ Improvements
On-Demand Performance Optimization
Explorer, Logic, and Versions tabs now use lazy-loading strategies to reduce unnecessary API calls and improve sidebar responsiveness by loading data only when needed.
Unified Settings Architecture
Environment switching and feedback tools have been consolidated into a dedicated Settings tab for a cleaner and more focused workspace.
Zero-Reload Context Updates
Features like List Helper and Form Center now react instantly to page and context changes without requiring manual reloads.
Enhanced Page & List Detection
Improved identification of list pages, nested gsft_main frames, and Polaris UI patterns for more reliable navigation and tooling support.
Smarter Context Bridge
Added retry logic and enhanced synchronization to ensure ServiceNow globals and page context are captured reliably, even on slower instance loads.
Improved Role Detection
Fixed intermittent “blinking” admin-role issues caused by empty iframe role contexts.
Optimized Frame Messaging
Refined content script communication between nested frames to ensure the top-level assistant always reflects the most accurate page state.

🏗️ Built for Performance & Reliability

Shadow DOM isolation (no UI conflicts)
Native push layout (non-intrusive experience)
Incremental search for large instances
Lazy-loaded modules for lower overhead
Deep frame-aware context detection
Persistent session-aware navigation memory

🔐 Privacy First

100% local processing
No external API calls
No data collection or tracking
Encrypted fields are always masked
Improved resilience against cross-origin iframe restrictions

NowDev Assistant is built for modern ServiceNow professionals who want faster workflows, deeper visibility, reliable cross-instance tooling, and a seamless development experience directly inside Chrome.
