## Key Features

* **Incident Summarization:** Automatically summarizes key incident details to give agents a clear and concise overview.
* **Resolution Note Generation:** Creates draft resolution notes to streamline incident closure processes.
* **Chat Summarization:** Summarizes chat conversations to provide agents with context, enabling quicker and more informed responses.
* **Generative AI Capabilities:** Utilizes advanced AI to assist with ITSM tasks, including autonomous task completion through Agentic AI.
* **Configuration Flexibility:** Allows customization and setup tailored to organizational ITSM workflows.

## Important Considerations

* Some AI model providers and features might be restricted or unavailable based on customer region, data center environments (e.g., FedRAMP, NSC DOD IL5, Australia IRAP-Protected), or regulatory constraints.
* ServiceNow continuously updates AI model availability; customers should monitor release notes and knowledge base articles for changes.
* AI-generated outputs may not always be accurate or complete. Customers must validate outputs, exercise human oversight, and avoid sole reliance on AI for critical decisions, especially in sensitive domains like healthcare, finance, or security.
* Use of the application requires agreement with ServiceNow's AI Acceptable Use Policy, subject to periodic updates.

## Data Processing and Privacy

* Data from customer instances is transferred to a centralized ServiceNow environment, which may be located in different regions or third-party cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure.
* Data handling complies with ServiceNow's internal policies and CORE Compliance Portal standards.
* ServiceNow collects inputs, outputs, and edits from the application to improve AI models and products, including incident data and chat transcripts.
* Customers have the option to opt out of future data collection to maintain data privacy.

## Support and Troubleshooting

* Customers can access support through the ServiceNow Community on AI and Intelligence and search the Known Error Portal for issues.
* For direct assistance, customers should contact ServiceNow Customer Service and Support.  
Use the ServiceNow Otto for IT Service Management (ITSM) application to summarize the incident information, generate incident resolution notes, and summarize the chat for an interaction. You can enable your agents to understand the chat and incident

## AI limitations {#now-assist-itsm__section_w4v_wxm_xyb}

This application uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, which are rapidly evolving fields of study that generate predictions based on patterns in data. As a result, this application may not
always produce accurate, complete, or appropriate information. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that this application has been fully trained or tested for your use case. To mitigate these issues, it is your responsibility
to test and evaluate your use of this application for accuracy, harm, and appropriateness for your use case, employ human oversight of output, and refrain from relying solely on AI-generated outputs for decision-making
purposes. This is especially important if you choose to deploy this application in areas with consequential impacts such as healthcare, finance, legal, employment, security, or infrastructure. You agree to abide by [ServiceNow's AI Acceptable Use Policy](https://www.servicenow.com/ai-acceptable-use-policy.html), which may be updated by ServiceNow.{#now-assist-itsm__p_kv2_nfg_h1c}

## Data processing {#now-assist-itsm__section_x4v_wxm_xyb}

This application requires data to be transferred from ServiceNow customers' individual instances to a centralized ServiceNow environment, which may be located in a different data center region from the one where your instance is, and potentially to a third-party cloud provider, such as Microsoft Azure. This data is handled per ServiceNow's internal policies and procedures, including our policies available through our [CORE Compliance Portal](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0564067).{#now-assist-itsm__p_lv2_nfg_h1c}

## Data collection {#now-assist-itsm__section_y4v_wxm_xyb}

ServiceNow collects and uses the inputs, outputs, and edits to outputs of this application to develop and improve ServiceNow technologies including ServiceNow models and AI products. In addition, this application will collect incident data (for Incident Assist and Knowledge Assist) and chat transcripts (for Chat Assist). Customers can opt out of future data collection at any time, as described in the [AI Opt-Out page](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=opt-out-of-data-sharing-for-now-assist&version=australia&pubname=australia-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).
