I have a requirement to build full fledged catalog item generation using Now Assist

" Users will interact with Now Assist conversationally to define catalog item details such as name, description, variables, variable sets, dependencies, and associated workflows" using Now assist . 

I have installed Creator plugin , the Catalog item generation skill is active but not visible under Now assist skills.

Catalog item can be created using catalog builder only .

also I want a fully fledged functionality to create catalog item in Now assist panel with client script generation & flow generation all together . Any Suggestion please

Hi @Divya149,
You may find the following official ServiceNow Community AI Academy video helpful, as it demonstrates how Now Assist Catalog Item Generation works within Catalog Builder:

https://youtu.be/vw7zbbQEhBs?si=3BSmBj3rhgf74usd

Catalog Item Generation is currently designed to work within Catalog Builder
, not as a standalone conversational experience in the Now Assist panel.


The Catalog Item Generation skill can generate

  • Catalog Item Name
  • Short Description
  • Description
  • Questions/Variables
  • Reference Fields
  • Mandatory Fields

from a natural language prompt inside Catalog Builder.


However, it does
not generate a complete end-to-end solution including:

  • Catalog Client Scripts
  • Catalog UI Policies
  • Variable Sets with complex dependencies
  • Flow Designer implementations
  • Approval logic
  • Catalog Tasks

in a single conversational interaction.


If the skill is active but not visible, please verify

  • User has catalog_builder_editor and now.assist.creator roles.
  • You are using Catalog Builder, where the feature is currently surfaced.

For a fully conversational experience that generates Catalog Items, Variables, Client Scripts, Flows, and Approvals together, you would likely need a custom AI Agent / custom Now Assist extensibility solution, as this capability is not currently available out of the box.
