This tiered approach makes adopting and scaling AI-driven automation simple, predictable, and aligned with your automation maturity. Show full answer Show less The tiers build on each other as follows: * **Foundation:** Delivers AI-assisted insights and routine automation for faster understanding and task assistance. * **Advanced:** Adds agentic workflows that synthesize context across complex processes, enabling side-by-side automation with human users. * **Prime:** Provides a fully autonomous AI workforce capable of executing multi-step, end-to-end tasks independently. Each ServiceNow product line supports these tiers, with AI skills, agents, and governance tools available in all, and additional advanced features unlocked as you move up tiers. ## Key Features * **AI Skills and Agents:** All tiers include AI skills and routine AI agents configured out-of-the-box. Prime tier allows creation of net-new custom AI skills and agents using natural language instructions. * **Agentic Workflows:** Supported in Foundation and Advanced tiers, enabling AI agents to work collaboratively within workflows. * **AI Action Fabric:** A communication layer facilitating collaboration between ServiceNow AI agents and external AI systems. Prime tier adds inbound connectivity allowing external platforms to invoke ServiceNow agents directly. * **AI Control Tower:** Included in all tiers with capabilities to discover, govern, secure, observe, and measure AI assets within ServiceNow. Managing external AI assets fully requires an additional license. * **Workflow Data Fabric:** Connects your enterprise data to the AI platform without data replication. Basic features are included in all tiers; advanced connectivity options are available as paid upgrades. * **RaptorDB:** A high-performance database underpinning all tiers; advanced editions offer enhanced analytics and scale for demanding AI workloads. * **Moveworks for ServiceNow (EmployeeWorks):** Integrates conversational AI and enterprise search with ServiceNow workflows across multiple platforms, scaled according to your tier level. ## Practical Considerations for Customers * Contact your ServiceNow account team to understand the availability and entitlement details specific to your organization. * The rollout of these product tiers occurs independently of your upgrade cycle, allowing flexible adoption. * Start implementation by exploring Now Assist for AI capabilities, AI Control Tower for governance, and preparing your data with Workflow Data Fabric. * Leverage AI Agent Studio to configure or build AI agents appropriate to your tier level. ## What to Expect By selecting and adopting the appropriate ServiceNow product tier, your organization can: * Accelerate routine tasks and gain AI-driven insights with Foundation tier capabilities. * Automate complex workflows with contextual AI synthesis in the Advanced tier. * Deploy a fully autonomous AI workforce capable of independently managing multi-step tasks at the Prime tier. * Maintain control and governance over AI assets across all tiers via AI Control Tower. * Seamlessly integrate enterprise data and external AI systems, ensuring scalable and compliant AI adoption. ServiceNow structures its products and packages in three tiers --- Foundation, Advanced, and Prime. Each tier incorporates AI and builds progressively on the previous one with additional AI capabilities, agents, and governance tools. The Foundation tier delivers AI-assisted insights and routine automation. Advanced adds agentic workflows capable of synthesizing context across complex processes. Prime unlocks a fully autonomous workforce that executes multi-step tasks end to end. This structure makes the path to greater automation simple, predictable, and scalable across your organization. Note: Contact your ServiceNow account team for information about availability and entitlement details for your organization. The rollout of new product tiers is independent of your organization's upgrade cycle. ## Product tiers {#ai-native-sku-overview__section_vbq_chb_l3c} All supported product lines offer these three tiers that include the features listed below. {#ai-native-sku-overview__table_ainative_features__entry__4} | Feature | Foundation | Advanced | Prime | |-|-|-|-| | AI skills and routine AI agents | Supported | Supported | Supported | | Configure out-of-the-box skills and agents | Supported | Supported | Supported | | Agentic workflows with contextual AI synthesis | Supported | Supported | Supported | | Platform Analytics Advanced | Not supported | Supported | Supported | | Create net-new custom AI skills and agents | Not supported | Not supported | Supported | | MCP Server Console (inbound) | Supported | Supported | Supported | | Autonomous AI workforce (AI Specialists) | Not supported | Not supported | Supported | [Table 1.

[Now Assist](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/X_Dv7Yi7FaXgpHtzshqKbg "Learn how ServiceNow Otto Admin brings generative AI capabilities to the ServiceNow AI Platform. With ServiceNow Otto Admin, you can improve the productivity and efficiency in your organization, deliver better self-service, recommend actions and provide answers, and empower your users to search more effectively.") : Now Assist is the generative AI experience embedded throughout the ServiceNow AI Platform, delivering skills such as incident summarization, sentiment analysis, reply generation, and case resolution assistance. AI skills are available at every tier, across [ITSM](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=now-assist-for-itsm-rn&version=australia&pubname=australia-release-notes&ft:locale=en-US), CSM, ServiceNow Otto for HRSD, and industry solutions. For a full overview of the ServiceNow Otto panel and administration tools, see [Now Assist panel](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/hFjjEWdyC~nGw2yDj4YZWQ "With the ServiceNow Otto panel, you can get assistance from generative AI experiences to solve customer issues faster. Use this conversational interface to summarize a chat, case, or incident, get help, or generate resolution notes so that you can get the context of this information more quickly."). [Now Assist AI agents](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/3_8_e2KO3lfz3YU8zFjgyw "Learn how the AI agents enhance live agent productivity by mimicking human-like intelligence to manage tasks ranging from automated responses to complex problem solving.") : AI agents extend generative AI into autonomous agentic workflows. Using [AI Agent Studio](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/InBvAHwy9i3LpzW3MbQGSA "Create, manage, or test AI agents and agentic workflows so that you can create self-executing workflows to help you achieve your business goals."), administrators can configure out-of-the-box agents at Foundation and Advanced tiers, or build net-new agents from natural language instructions at the Prime tier. AI Action Fabric : AI Action Fabric is the communication layer that enables ServiceNow AI agents to collaborate with each other and with third-party AI systems. It uses open protocols to facilitate this collaboration. These protocols include Agent-to-Agent (A2A) and Model Context Protocol (MCP). Foundation and Advanced tiers include A2A outbound connectivity; Prime adds inbound MCP Server Console capability, enabling external platforms to invoke ServiceNow agents directly. For implementation details, see [Enable MCP and A2A for your agentic workflows](https://www.servicenow.com/community/now-assist-articles/enable-mcp-and-a2a-for-your-agentic-workflows-with-faqs-updated/ta-p/3373907).
