ℹ️ For the similar topic of Now Assist, I have written an individual article.
Table of Contents |
My library Knowledge Sources To Go is very popular, but it was intended mainly as a thematically grouped guide to standard sources and was provided by me as a PDF file. For certain topics, however, there is so much content that I can no longer include it in that document, as it cannot continue to grow forever.
For this reason, I have decided to handle such topics in individual community articles like this one instead.
What is Generative AI?
Generative AI is a form of artificially-intelligent computer system or algorithm capable of creating original content - quickly, effectively, realistically, and with some human oversight (to identify and eliminate inaccuracies). This can include anything from in-depth and highly accurate written articles to unique music and original images, and is even capable of extensively altering the content of digital video clips. As groundbreaking as generative AI is, it is not an entirely new concept. It has a significant history, built on many of the foundational advances in automation technology that were pioneered during the 20th and early 21st centuries.
Generative AI Controller in ServiceNow
Complex algorithms and deep learning models learn patterns and use that knowledge to generate new outputs. With Generative AI Controller, you can generate content directly within the Now Platform with low-code designer tools. Generative AI Controller integrates with ServiceNow Now LLM, OpenAI, and Azure OpenAI models. These capabilities are available in Process Automation Designer flows, Virtual Agent topics, and scripting like background scripts and business rules.

How to leverage Generative AI to develop a product strategy
Developing products to improve work conditions is multi-faceted. It's important to know who you're building for, what they're responsible for and what they need to do with your product. When we focus on one area, we sometimes miss the big picture. This leaves us with a limited view of a user's greatest needs, overlaps, and additional processes. Here's how to open that up.
