    Key Features

    • Generative AI Summarization: Automatically summarizes case details and comments to give agents a clear understanding of each case.
    • Resolution Note Generation: Creates case resolution notes that agents can use to communicate outcomes effectively with colleagues.
    • Configuration and Use: Customers can configure and utilize the application within their ServiceNow instance to implement the generative AI capabilities tailored for public sector digital services.

    Important Considerations

    • Not all AI model providers and Now Assist features are available for customers with in-country SKUs or in restricted environments such as FedRAMP, NSC DOD IL5, Australia IRAP-Protected data centers, or self-hosted instances.
    • Availability of AI products varies by region and regulatory markets; customers should monitor updates for access to features.

    AI Limitations and Responsibilities

    The generative AI used in this application is continuously evolving and may not always provide fully accurate or complete information. Customers must rigorously test outputs for accuracy, appropriateness, and potential harm, especially in sensitive or consequential scenarios (e.g., healthcare, finance, legal). Human oversight is essential, and AI-generated content should not be the sole basis for decision-making.

    All users must comply with ServiceNow’s AI Acceptable Use Policy, which governs responsible AI usage and may be updated periodically.

    Data Processing and Collection

    • Data from customer instances is transferred to centralized ServiceNow environments, possibly located in different regions or third-party cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure, following strict internal policies and compliance standards.
    • ServiceNow collects inputs, outputs, and edits from the application to improve AI models and technologies. Case and test run information are also collected for summarization purposes.
    • Customers have the option to opt out of future data collection at any time via the Now Assist Opt-Out mechanism.

    Support and Resources

    • Access support through the ServiceNow Community, AI & Intelligence forums, Known Error Portal, and Customer Service and Support channels.

    With the ServiceNow Otto for Public Sector Digital Services (PSDS) application, your agents can use generative AI to summarize the details and comment activity of each public service case to get the context of the case. They can also generate the case resolution notes to share with other agents.
