    Configuration and Usage

    To use Now Assist for app generation, you must enable the relevant skill within the Now Assist for Creator application.

This conversational approach allows for intuitive app building without extensive manual coding.

    Important Considerations

    • Availability: Some AI model providers and features may not be available to customers in specific regions, data centers (such as FedRAMP, NSC DOD IL5, Australia IRAP-Protected), self-hosted environments, or regulated markets. It is important to verify current availability as it may change in future releases.
    • AI Limitations: As the AI is based on evolving machine learning models, outputs may not always be accurate or complete. Customers should rigorously test and review AI-generated content before deployment, especially in sensitive or high-impact areas such as healthcare, finance, legal, security, and infrastructure.
    • Data Processing and Privacy: Using this application involves transferring data from your ServiceNow instance to centralized ServiceNow environments, possibly hosted by third-party cloud providers. ServiceNow manages this data in accordance with its internal policies and compliance standards.
    • Data Collection and Opt-Out: ServiceNow collects inputs, outputs, and edits from app generation sessions to improve AI capabilities. Customers have the option to opt out of this data collection at any time.

    Support and Resources

    If you encounter issues or have questions, you can find assistance through the ServiceNow Community, Known Error Portal, or by contacting ServiceNow Customer Service and Support. Additionally, reference materials provide detailed information about configuration properties, required roles, and other technical details to help optimize use of Now Assist for app generation.

    Use Now Assist for Creator to work with generative AI and simplify app creation. After having a conversation about the app that you want to create, Now Assist for Creator generates the app that you can then modify.

    AI limitations

    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, which may be updated by ServiceNow.

    Data processing

    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.

    Data collection

    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 information about applications (and associated application files) in which app generation was utilized. Customers can opt out of future data collection at any time, as described in the Now Assist Opt-Out page.
