    AI Admin Hub workflow

    Take five steps to begin using the AI Admin Hub console.

    1. Install plugins.

    On the Available for you tab of the Settings page, you can review the available plugins and install the ones that are relevant to your business needs. Each plugin contains the skills that you can activate to enable generative AI features on your instance. The following diagram shows the Available for you tab.

    Available plugins are displayed in the Settings page.
    2. (Optional) Turn on the ServiceNow Otto panel.

    The ServiceNow Otto panel integrates the ServiceNow Otto skills into the Next Experience UI. By turning on the ServiceNow Otto panel directly from the AI Admin Hub console, you enable agents to access skills from anywhere on the ServiceNow AI Platform.

    For more information about the ServiceNow Otto panel, see ServiceNow Otto panel overview.

    This step is optional because the skills can also display in-product in the Core UI and in Workspaces.

    You can turn the ServiceNow Otto panel on from the ServiceNow Otto Experiences page of the Admin console.

    3. Activate skills.

    Skills are features that are created for a specific use case in a ServiceNow Otto application. Use the ServiceNow Otto Skills page to explore the skills that are available with your installed plugins. The following diagram shows the available features and skills in the Technology workflow.

    In the Technology workflow, select the workflow area to see all of the available skills. In this example, the skills for ServiceNow Otto for IT Service Management (ITSM) are displayed.

    After deciding which skills best fit your business needs, you can activate them from the console. Some skills require configuration so that you can customize the skill to your needs, such as determining the skill inputs and triggers. You can select the skills that you want to configure in the AI Admin Hub Features page.

    The following example shows a step in the guided setup of the skill activation process, which is choosing where to display the skill. Skills can be displayed in-product, including the Core UI and Workspaces, or in the ServiceNow Otto panel. You can choose either or both locations. The following diagram shows the process for chat summarization activation in AI Admin Hub.
