Key Features
- Multiple Recommended Actions Contexts: Create multiple context records for the same table, allowing tailored experiences based on user attributes or domains. Recommendations and AI Search results dynamically adjust according to the active context.
- Task Intelligence and Similarity Models Integration: Utilize integrated similarity models in the Task Intelligence admin console to configure, train, and deploy machine learning models for enhanced recommendations.
- Dependent Field Predictions: Improve model accuracy by identifying dependent fields before displaying predicted values on case and interaction records without needing to save the form.
- Attach Knowledge Article Guidance: Agents can view, attach, and share knowledge articles in task records, chat interactions, comments, work notes, or emails to assist customers more effectively.
- Guided Decisions Enhancements:
- Run decision trees as a system user or current user based on configuration.
- Add decision trees as catalog items in the service catalog for easy customer access via the Customer Service Portal.
- Search decision trees by keywords on the portal and open them directly from the results.
- Create start nodes that begin directly from task inputs, allowing decision trees to derive paths from task data.
- Restart decision trees within playbooks while retaining execution history for repeated use.
- Update the question field type in decision nodes from string to HTML, enabling rich formatting and images.
Activation and Availability
The Guided Decisions Experience, Recommended Actions, and Task Intelligence for Customer Service applications are available via the ServiceNow Store. Customers must request installation through the store to access these features.

New in the Xanadu release
- Recommended Actions - Task Intelligence similarity models integration
- Use similarity models that are integrated with the Task Intelligence (TI) admin console to configure, train, and deploy machine learning models.
- Resource Generator: The Recommended Actions framework supports a new resource generator that leverages TI similarity models to configure recommendations.
- Admin Configuration: Administrators can configure the resource generator to point to TI solutions for predictions and use the topN optional parameter to fetch top recommendations.
- Task intelligence for Customer Service - Dependent field predictions
- Help improve the model performance by identifying the dependent fields in a model before displaying the predicted values.
- Task intelligence for Customer Service - Records prediction
- Predict the configured fields on the case record after entering the short description or description and see the predicted values without saving the case form.
- Task intelligence for Customer Service - On change predictions for interaction record
- Predict the configured fields on the interaction record after entering the short description or description and see the predicted values without saving the form.
- Task Intelligence for Customer Service - Implement Task Intelligence for the CSM Similarity Model:
-
- Similar cases recommendations: Install the Task Intelligence for Customer Service plugin to view the preconfigured open and closed cases that are automatically trained and deployed as recommendations.
- Major case recommendations: Install the major issue management plugin and activate the feature as needed to get recommendations.
- Recommended Actions - Create multiple contexts for a single record entity
- Support multiple contexts for the same table, such as the Case table, with one active context record that can be configured for the Recommended Actions component by using a UI Builder input property. By creating multiple contexts, you can create different experiences that are determined by criteria such as user attributes or domains. The recommendations and AI Search results adjust dynamically according to the configured active context.
- Recommended Actions - Attach knowledge article guidance
- Enable agents to view and attach knowledge articles to task records and chat interaction records and share articles with customers by using the following guidances:
- Attach and share article: Enables the agent to share a recommended knowledge article in a comment, work note, or an email.
- Share article in chat interaction: Enables the agent to share a recommended knowledge article in a customer chat.
- Guided Decisions - Run a guidance as a system user
- Enable the guidance_honor_subflow system property to run a guidance in a decision tree as the user that is specified in the guidance action subflow properties. If this property is set to false, the guidance runs as the current user.
- Guided Decisions - Decision Tree as a catalog item content type
- Enable customers to add decision trees as catalog items in a service catalog. From the Customer Service Portal, customers can select the decision tree and open it in a new tab.
- Guided Decisions - Search for decision trees on portal
- Enable portal users to search for decision trees with keywords. Selecting a decision tree in the search results opens a page with the decision tree widget.
- Guided Decisions - Enable a start node to contain only task input
- Create start nodes for a decision tree that start directly from a task input and create paths that are derived from the data in the task reference. You have the option to create a start node from a question or from task input.
- Guided Decisions - Restart a decision tree in a playbook
- Restart the execution of a decision tree. When a user completes the execution of a decision tree in a playbook, they can start and complete the decision tree again if desired. Restarting the playbook retains the history of the previous decision tree executions.
Changed in this release
- Guided Decisions - Question field updated to type HTML
- The Question field has been updated from type=string to type=HTML. When adding a question to a decision node, decision tree authors can include the text, formatted text, and images in the Question field.
