One of the most interesting shifts is happening in the UI layer.

ServiceNow is introducing what they call AI Experience (AIx) : basically a conversational front door to the platform.

Instead of:

  • Navigating modules
  • Opening forms
  • Clicking through records

Users can:

  • Ask questions
  • Give instructions
  • Interact through chat or voice

And the system responds with actions, not just data.

Some examples:

  • “Show me all high-priority incidents affecting finance”
  • “Create a change request for this issue”
  • “Why did this incident happen?”

Even more interesting:

  • AI can interpret screenshots
  • Interact with third-party apps
  • Generate configs or code

For developers, this raises a real question:

Are we designing interfaces… or experiences?

Forms and lists won’t disappear overnight, but it’s clear that:

  • Interaction is becoming intent-driven
  • Navigation is becoming optional

Interesting indeed, in lieu of any official docs other than the marketing pages I did a bit of digging into our instance and found a couple of things:

There is a couple of Global scoped dictionary entries that reference aix:

  • AI Experience [sys_aix_experience]
  • AI Experience notification content [sys_aix_notification_content]
  • AI Experience notification content configuration [sys_aix_notification_content_config]
  • AI Experience Properties [sys_aix_experience_properties]
  • AIX App Shell [sys_aix_app_shell]
  • AIX Bundle Dependency M2M [sys_aix_m2m_bundle_dependency]
  • AIX Color Swatch [sys_aix_color_swatch]
  • AIX Container [sys_aix_container]
  • AIX Dashboard [sys_aix_dashboard]
  • AIX Dashboard Item [sys_aix_dashboard_item]
  • AIX Dashboard Personalization Item [sys_aix_dashboard_personalization_item]
  • AIX Dependency [sys_aix_dependency]
  • AIX Dependency Bundle [sys_aix_dependency_bundle]
  • AIX M2M Experience Dashboard [sys_aix_m2m_experience_dashboard]
  • AIX Menu [sys_aix_menu]
  • AIX Menu Item [sys_aix_menu_item]
  • AIX Menu Item Category [sys_aix_menu_item_category]
  • AIX Page [sys_aix_page]
  • AIX Page Route Map [sys_aix_page_route_map]
  • AIX Service Portal Route Map [sys_aix_sp_route_map]
  • AIX Theme [sys_aix_theme]
  • AIX widget [sys_aix_widget]
  • AIX Widget Cache Buster [sys_aix_widget_cache_buster]
  • AIX Widget Dependency [sys_aix_m2m_widget_dependency]
  • AIX Widget Dependency Bundle [sys_aix_m2m_widget_dependency_bundle]
  • AIX Widget Instance [sys_aix_widget_instance]

There is an application menu called AI Experience Framework (AIX) also in Global with the description:

Build AI-powered experiences with Lit

 

There is also property called sn_nowassist_va.enable_nap_aix_experience that references AIX in the Now Assist in Virtual Agent scope. with the following description:

Used to enable integrated chat for NAP Platform assistant. Please make sure that NAP Platform has been activated from Assistant Designer before changing this sys prop from 'false' to 'true'

 

I'm very keen to see where they go with these, it seems to be similar to Service Portals or Next Experiences but with Agentic usecases based on lit.dev web-components.
