Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **OT Incident Creation from Change Requests:** Starting with Yokohama, users can create OT incidents directly from OT change requests within the Industrial Workspace, linking incidents to changes efficiently. * **Employee Center Reporting:** Introduced in Zurich, users without an OT incident role can report OT incidents through the Employee Center for OT, improving accessibility for incident submission. * **ServiceNow Otto AI Integration (Australia):** The Australia release rebrands AI capabilities under **ServiceNow Otto** , delivering advanced AI-powered features such as: * Summarize UI action to generate concise incident summaries directly in the Industrial Workspace. * Generate resolution notes UI action to automatically create resolution summaries post incident resolution. * Agentic workflow to auto-generate knowledge base (KB) articles when incidents are resolved, capturing site, device, equipment model, and resolution details. * **Now LLM Service Deprecation:** The Australia release initiates the deprecation of the Now LLM Service as the default model provider for new or inactive AI assets, favoring third-party large language models by default while maintaining backward compatibility for existing configurations. * **ServiceNow AI Platform Licensing Tiers:** Introduces three AI licensing tiers---Foundation, Advanced, and Prime---allowing customers to access AI features commensurate with their license level, ranging from basic insights to autonomous AI asset creation. * **Admin Role Granularity:** New granular admin roles have been added to allow developers to perform configuration tasks without requiring full admin privileges, enhancing security and role management. * **OT Service Catalog Enhancement:** The "Report OT incident" catalog item has been added for use in the Employee Center for OT, enabling streamlined incident reporting for end-users. ## Key Changes * ServiceNow Otto replaces the Now Assist branding for AI-powered OT Service Management, reflecting the evolution and unification of AI experiences on the ServiceNow platform. * The Now LLM Service is no longer the default AI model provider for new assets; third-party LLMs are now selected by default, though the Now LLM Service remains available for manual selection and existing AI assets. ## Activation and Upgrade Guidance Operational Technology Incident Management is available via the ServiceNow Store for installation and upgrade. Customers should review pre- and post-upgrade tasks to ensure a smooth transition to the Australia release. No additional browser, localization, or accessibility requirements have changed across the releases. ## Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers * Enhanced incident management efficiency through AI-powered summarization and automatic resolution note generation. * Improved user experience by enabling incident reporting without specialized roles via the Employee Center. * Greater flexibility and security in administrative configurations due to new granular admin roles. * Access to cutting-edge AI innovations with clear licensing options, supporting scalable AI adoption aligned with business needs. * Forward-looking AI infrastructure with a clear path away from legacy LLM models towards modern third-party AI providers.
