## Key Features

* **Generative AI Capabilities:** Helps users quickly understand the context of IRM records and extract actionable insights.
* **Agentic AI:** Employs AI agents that can autonomously complete tasks within the IRM environment, increasing efficiency.
* **Configuration and Use:** Customers can configure and start using the generative AI features within their existing IRM setup.
* **Data Processing and Collection:** Data from customer instances is transferred securely to centralized ServiceNow environments and may involve third-party cloud providers. Collected data is used to improve ServiceNow AI technologies, with opt-out options available.

## Important Considerations

* Not all AI model providers and features are available in every region or for customers with specific compliance requirements (e.g., FedRAMP, NSC DOD IL5, Australia IRAP-Protected environments, Regulated Markets).
* Customers should refer to ServiceNow Knowledge Base articles for updates on AI product availability and restrictions.
* AI outputs may not always be fully accurate or appropriate; human oversight and thorough testing are recommended before relying on AI-generated results, especially in sensitive domains like healthcare, finance, legal, and security.
* Customers must comply with ServiceNow's AI Acceptable Use Policy when deploying and using these AI capabilities.

## AI limitations {#now-assist-for-irm__section_w4v_wxm_xyb}

This application uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, which are rapidly evolving fields of study that generate predictions based on patterns in data. As a result, this application may not
always produce accurate, complete, or appropriate information. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that this application has been fully trained or tested for your use case. To mitigate these issues, it is your responsibility
to test and evaluate your use of this application for accuracy, harm, and appropriateness for your use case, employ human oversight of output, and refrain from relying solely on AI-generated outputs for decision-making
purposes. This is especially important if you choose to deploy this application in areas with consequential impacts such as healthcare, finance, legal, employment, security, or infrastructure. You agree to abide by [ServiceNow's AI Acceptable Use Policy](https://www.servicenow.com/ai-acceptable-use-policy.html), which may be updated by ServiceNow.{#now-assist-for-irm__p_kv2_nfg_h1c}

## Data processing {#now-assist-for-irm__section_x4v_wxm_xyb}

This application requires data to be transferred from ServiceNow customers' individual instances to a centralized ServiceNow environment, which may be located in a different data center region from the one where your instance is, and potentially to a third-party cloud provider, such as Microsoft Azure. This data is handled per ServiceNow's internal policies and procedures, including our policies available through our [CORE Compliance Portal](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0564067).{#now-assist-for-irm__p_lv2_nfg_h1c}
