    This spoke provides standalone AI agents that mimic human-like intelligence to perform tasks in your ServiceNow instance.
    • In the ServiceNow agentic system, you can create an agentic workflow that comprises of a set of large language model (LLM) instructions along with one or more standalone AI agents to execute an objective. See Create an agentic workflow for information about adding AI agents to create agentic workflows as per your requirement and provide the required trigger.

      You can also search for other available AI agents and add them to your agentic workflow. See Find AI agents for more information.

    • You can create a clone of the required spoke AI agent and customize it as per your requirement. See Duplicate an AI agent for more information about creating a clone.
    • See Now Assist AI agents for information about AI agents.

    Available AI agent is Microsoft Security Response Center security manager. This AI agent retrieves details of the security updates based on the provided ID, CVE, or year.

    There might be AI agents installed with the Now Assist application that are not used in agentic workflows. To learn how to see all agents that are available to you, see Find AI agents.

    Note:
    Ensure that the user running an AI agent has the required roles and permissions to access data or perform operations on data in the table that is associated with the AI agent.

    Connection and credential alias requirements

    Integration Hub uses aliases to manage connection and credential information, and OAuth credentials. Using an alias eliminates the need to configure multiple credentials and connection information profiles when using multiple environments. If the connection or credential information changes, you don't need to update any actions that use the connection.
