# Analyze potential impact AI agent

# Analyze potential impact AI agent {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil

![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 2 minutes to read  
This agent analyzes the potential business and operational impact of a proposed change by identifying affected servers and services. The agent reviews the change request, performs impact analysis, and documents findings in work
notes to support informed decision-making and effective mitigation strategies.

## Workflow {#itom-analyze-potential-impact-ai-agent__zsmdlwierhjt}

The agent analyzes a change request to identify and document the potential impact on services and servers.

1. Validate that all prerequisites for the impact analysis are met before proceeding.
2. Retrieve the change request number from the current active page, or prompt you to provide it if unavailable.
3. Extract the affected server IDs from the change request.
4. Identify which services are potentially impacted by mapping affected servers to suggested services using the Service Mapping Candidate skill.
5. Retrieve a combined view of impacted servers and suggested services.
6. Perform a full impact analysis for each suggested service, including cascading effects, using the Service Mapping Candidates Impact skill.
7. Compile the analysis results and update the change request work notes with a consolidated summary.
