Show full answer Show less ## Important Upgrade Considerations Before upgrading to the Brazil release, ensure you review and complete any pre- and post-upgrade tasks outlined in the notes. Notably, there are no updates specific to the Brazil release itself, but enhancements and changes from prior releases, especially Zurich, impact your upgrade experience. ## New Features Introduced * **Agentic Workflows for ESG (Zurich Release):** These workflows act as a smart assistant for sustainability teams by automating carbon accounting processes. They select relevant metric definitions and emission factors, generate calculated metrics, and allow user review and adjustment, streamlining sustainability reporting. * **AI-Powered Document Intelligence for Utility Bills (Zurich Release):** This feature automates extraction of ESG metric data such as electricity, gas, and water usage from utility invoices using generative AI. This reduces manual data entry, improves accuracy, integrates seamlessly with ESG metric workflows, supports enterprise-scale data volumes, and includes audit features for compliance transparency. ## Key Changes to Existing Features * **Now Assist AI Usage Measurement Update (Zurich and Australia Early Access):** The AI usage measurement model changed from a 365-day look-back to a 365-day burn-down model that resets at the contract anniversary, helping customers better track and manage AI consumption. * **Generative AI Skills and Agentic Workflows Activation (Zurich Patch 4):** Certain AI skills, agents, and workflows are now enabled by default for appropriate roles (e.g., ITIL roles on incident/change forms) to accelerate adoption. Existing customers upgrading may see previously unconfigured AI assets automatically activated unless they were explicitly turned off. * **Role Configuration Requirement:** To use agentic workflows and AI agents, customers must configure user access security controls by assigning the necessary roles to users, ensuring proper execution and security governance. ## Removed and Deprecated Features No features or functionality were removed or deprecated between Yokohama and Brazil releases. ## Activation and Additional Requirements ServiceNow Otto for Operational Sustainability is available for installation via the ServiceNow Store. Customers should review activation steps and ensure any required roles and configurations are in place. There are no new browser, localization, or accessibility requirements introduced in these releases. ## Highlight Information * The Zurich Patch releases emphasize improvements in AI usage measurement and default activation of AI capabilities to help accelerate operational sustainability management. * AI-powered automation enables faster, more accurate carbon reporting, especially for Scope 3 emissions, supporting compliance and operational efficiency. ## What Customers Can Expect Upgrading from Yokohama to Brazil enables ServiceNow customers to leverage AI-driven automation for ESG data collection and carbon accounting, streamline workflows with agentic assistants, and adopt improved AI usage tracking. These enhancements help reduce manual effort, increase data accuracy, and support better sustainability reporting and compliance.
