Show full answer Show less ## New Features * **Security Implementation with ACLs:** Starting in Xanadu Patch 10 and extended in subsequent releases, ServiceNow Otto for FSO supports Access Control Lists (ACLs) to control execution of generative AI skills, agentic workflows, and AI agents based on user roles and identities. Predefined ACLs are available for key skills like case summarization and dispute intake. * **AI-Powered Skills and Agents:** Features include case summarization skills, card dispute and insurance claim assistance, and Now Assist panel integration within the Financial Services Workspace to improve agent efficiency. * **Long Term Stable (LTS) Models:** Introduced in Yokohama and Zurich releases, these models offer longer stability and support compliance and governance needs for regulated industries within the Now LLM Service. * **Multiple AI Model Providers:** Now Assist applications support new third-party AI providers such as Google Gemini and AWS Claude, alongside existing Now LLM Service and Azure OpenAI options, allowing flexibility in AI model selection. * **Agentic Contact Center Enhancements:** In Zurich and Australia releases, AI agents and skills assist banking and insurance CSRs with live call support, intent detection, contextual summaries, customer insights, and next-best action recommendations, improving customer service delivery and reducing handle times. * **Disputes Intake and Friendly Fraud Resolution:** Virtual Agent-based dispute intake workflows streamline the collection of dispute details conversationally while AI agents guide agents through friendly fraud dispute resolution with actionable recommendations. * **ServiceNow AI Platform Licensing Tiers:** Three tiers---Foundation, Advanced, and Prime---define access to AI features, generative skills, and autonomous workflows, helping customers align licensing with their AI adoption requirements. ## Key Changes * **Role Configuration Requirements:** Enhanced security requires explicit role assignments for agentic workflows and AI agents to function correctly. Customers must ensure installed roles are included in data access settings to enable execution. * **Default Skill Activation:** Some Now Assist skills are enabled by default for new customers or unconfigured skills upon upgrade, improving out-of-the-box AI productivity. * **Usage Measurement Model Update:** AI usage tracking has shifted from a 365-day look-back to a 365-day burn-down model with resetting at contract anniversaries, providing clearer usage management. * **Branding:** ServiceNow Otto has become the official name for the conversational AI platform across releases starting with Zurich, reflecting its enhanced multimodal and autonomous orchestration capabilities. * **Model Provider Default Change:** In Australia release, the Now LLM Service is no longer the default AI model provider for new or inactive AI assets; a third-party LLM is selected by default, with Now LLM Service remaining available for manual selection. * **Dispute Intake Improvements:** Updated Virtual Agent flows follow the dispute playbook questionnaire more accurately, support ACH disputes, and prevent duplicate case submissions. ## Activation and Licensing ServiceNow Otto for FSO must be requested and installed via the ServiceNow Store. It requires a Financial Services Operations Professional Plus or Enterprise Plus license. Customers should consult the ServiceNow Store for the latest app versions and cumulative release notes. ## Additional Notes * No features or functionalities were removed or deprecated across the releases covered. * There are no new browser, localization, or accessibility requirements introduced between Xanadu and Australia. * Specific highlights include early availability of case summarization, expanded AI agent support for banking and insurance, and ongoing enhancements to dispute resolution workflows. ## Practical Implications for ServiceNow Customers Upgrading to Australia brings enhanced AI-driven automation and assistance for financial services operations, improving agent productivity and customer service quality. Customers must carefully configure security roles to ensure AI agents and workflows execute correctly. The expanded AI model provider options and licensing tiers allow alignment with organizational AI strategies. Usage measurement changes require adaptation in monitoring AI consumption.
