In August we released version 26.1.1 of the Now Assist for Creator product suite.

 

This release introduced a new AI skill: Data Visualization generation

 

Application generation, Playbook generation and Flow generation were all enhanced with new features.

 

Data Visualization generation

Ask Now Assist generate a "column chart of open incidents grouped by priority". "Create a Data Visualization" is a new topic in the Now Assist panel. Now Assist will take your data sentences and create data visualizations. Aggregation, data source, conditions, grouping, trend and display information is extracted from text and used to create charts which can be added to a dashboard, or further configured and shared in Viz Designer.

Enhanced Skills

 

Application generation

The hand off from Now Assist panel to App Engine Studio has been improved by adding transition segue screen. AI labels now clearly mark which application features were generated by Now Assist. Review buttons added to guide developers to take next steps in confirming generated content accuracy.

Playbook generation

Playbook generation implements previews before saving so workflow designers have the opportunity to review generated content before saving.
Re-prompting allows changes to be made to the prompt and a new preview generated to enable rapid prototyping of playbooks.
Playbook recommendations, powered by AI Search, provide developers with suggested replacements for placeholder activities.

Flow generation

Flow annotations are extracted from the prompt to provide clear feedback on which phrases generated which flow actions. This improves the re-prompting experience as creators now know which parts of the prompt to tweak.Annotations also provide continuity, describing next steps for the flow developer to take to complete the flow.
