Note:  
Depending on your license, you will have access to certain application features, generative AI skills, agentic workflows, and AI agents. For more information, see [ServiceNow product tiers](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=ai-native-sku-overview&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).  
Important:
