Show full answer Show less ## New Features * **Now LLM Service Deprecation:** The Now LLM Service is no longer the default model provider for new or inactive AI assets; instead, a third-party large language model (LLM) is selected by default. Existing configurations using the Now LLM Service remain unchanged, and manual selection of the Now LLM Service is still possible. * **Contextualize External Documents:** This feature allows users to contextualize external documents to understand their relevance to specific OT incidents, enhancing incident investigation. * **Recommended Actions Integration:** Users can now apply Recommended Actions within their Operational Technology incidents to access relevant guidance for incident resolution. * **Gemma 4 Model Addition (Australia):** The September 2026 release introduced the Gemma 4 open-weight model under Now LLM Service, providing advanced AI capabilities and options focused on data sovereignty. ## Changes * **Contextualize UI Action:** Added to the Recommendations panel within the Industrial Workspace, enabling users to access external document context related to OT incidents. * **Coral Theme:** Introduced as the new default theme for portals, web, and mobile experiences using Next Experience or Core UI, featuring brand-neutral illustrations and a dark mode option to improve usability and reduce eye strain. * **Recommended Actions Button:** Added to the Industrial Workspace, providing quick access to the Recommended Actions panel for OT incidents. ## Removals and Deprecations No features or functionalities were removed or deprecated specifically in the Zurich to Australia transition beyond the planned Now LLM Service deprecation noted above. ## Activation Information To activate Recommended Actions for OTSM and AI Enhanced Recommended Actions for OTSM, customers must request these applications through the ServiceNow Store. The store also provides cumulative release notes and version histories for all related apps. ## Additional Considerations * **Browser and Localization Requirements:** No updates or changes have been introduced for browser compatibility or localization for these releases. * **Accessibility:** The Coral theme includes a dark mode option designed to enhance accessibility by reducing eye strain and improving readability. * **Highlight Information:** ServiceNow Otto®---the conversational AI platform integrated with ServiceNow workflows---continues to evolve, supporting multimodal interactions and autonomous workflow orchestration. ## Practical Impact for ServiceNow Customers By upgrading from Zurich to Australia, customers can expect enhanced AI capabilities through new and improved models, better contextualization of external documents related to OT incidents, and improved user experience via updated UI elements and themes. The deprecation of default usage of the Now LLM Service means customers should plan for transitioning to third-party LLMs for new AI assets but can maintain existing configurations if preferred. Activation steps ensure customers know how to enable Recommended Actions applications post-upgrade efficiently. The added accessibility features and UI improvements contribute to better usability and productivity in managing Operational Technology incidents.
