    Getting Started and Configuration

    Customers can explore and configure the Now Assist for SAE application to begin leveraging its capabilities. The application integrates generative AI skills to assist in producing assessment content, improving productivity and consistency.

    Licensing and Availability

    • Access to Now Assist for SAE features, generative AI skills, agentic workflows, and AI agents depends on the customer’s license tier.
    • Not all AI model providers are available for customers with in-country SKUs, and some Now Assist products/features may be restricted in specific environments such as FedRAMP, NSC DOD IL5, Australia IRAP-Protected data centers, self-hosted setups, or other regulated markets.
    • Availability varies by region and customer environment, with ongoing updates expected in future releases.

    AI Limitations and Responsible Use

    As the application uses AI and machine learning, outputs may not always be accurate, complete, or appropriate. Customers must test and validate AI-generated responses, maintain human oversight, and avoid sole reliance on AI for critical decisions—particularly in sensitive domains like healthcare, finance, legal, security, or infrastructure.

    Users must comply with ServiceNow’s AI Acceptable Use Policy.

    Data Processing and Privacy

    • User data is transferred from individual ServiceNow instances to centralized ServiceNow environments, which might be located in different data center regions or third-party cloud providers (e.g., Microsoft Azure).
    • Data handling follows ServiceNow’s internal policies and compliance standards.
    • ServiceNow collects inputs, outputs, and edits from the application to improve AI models and products. Incident and chat data related to other Now Assist features are also collected.
    • Customers can opt out of future data collection as described in the Now Assist Opt-Out documentation.

    Support and Troubleshooting

    Customers can access help through the ServiceNow Community focused on AI and Intelligence, search the Known Error Portal for known issues, or contact Customer Service and Support for assistance.
