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 Predictive Intelligence?

Predictive Intelligence uses machine learning to continuously analyze operational data, identifying patterns and similarities. It then uses these to make predictions and recommendations. Think of it as the ultimate virtual assistant, integrating seamlessly with ServiceNow workflows to eliminate time-wasting manual work and deliver the information employees need to work faster and smarter. Using Predictive Intelligence provides measurable business benefits

  • Reduce the number of interactions required to resolve tasks
  • Reduce the error rates of categorizing and assigning work
  • Provide a better user experience with reduced reassignment and faster MTTR
  • Support better customer and agent experiences

Get Started with Predictive Intelligence

Welcome to this introduction to ServiceNow Predictive Intelligence (PI). In this course, you will learn how to define and execute Machine Learning (ML) models. These models may be used to explain the behavior of, or predict a value for, the target. They also find previously unknown patterns or relationships in data. In addition, you will learn how to prepare input data for effective use with ML models.

 

Predictive Intelligence Fundamentals

Welcome to this overview of ServiceNow Predictive Intelligence (PI). In this course, you will learn how Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are used to categorize, route, and prioritize issues automatically, and how to find and group similar records. Predictive Intelligence learns from patterns in historical data, becoming increasingly accurate in its predictive recommendations.

Hi Maik, 

I'm looking for Predictive Intelligence solution where I need to use two tables such as Knowlege article base and incident table. In my solution, I want to see how much similar a short description of ticket/incident with the short description of KB articles. Therefore, I'm wondering is there any solution who implemented this in srvicenow or could you share me how implement this solution in servicenow?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Jannatul

Hi Community, is there any future plans on Predictive Intelligence, a kind of roadmap by ServiceNow? Or everybody is jumping in the GenAI wagon?

@ jti_warren.  All of my statements are under Safe Harbor referenced below. 

 

Predictive/Task Intelligence will indeed continue to evolve.  

  • Predictive/Task Intelligence models are uniquely trained on your data and focused on traditional AI capabilities such as classification, regression, similarity, and clustering. 
  • Predictive intelligence(PI) will remain the developers choice as you can control the hyper parameters and access the models via the ML API.   PI can be called from flow designer or script - making it ideal to embed anywhere on the platform.  While Task Intelligence will be used for general AI use cases and uses the recommendations framework to incorporate it into workspaces.
  • ServiceNow is improving the Regression Pipeline so it will be easier to use and less error prone.   Look for a complete re-write coming in 1H 2025.
  • Task Intelligence will incorporate more Predictive Intelligence capabilities for ease of use, for example you can train a Similarity model in Task Intelligence.
  • Also we are exploring ways making it easier to combine the capabilities of Predictive Intelligence & Generative AI & Now Assist.  This article provides some examples toward the end of the article where we combine PI and GenAI.

There is only so much we can share in the community about futures, so if this is critical for your roadmap planning please reach out to your ServiceNow account team.
