    Getting Started and Configuration

    ServiceNow customers can begin using Now Assist AI agents by selecting pre-built tiles or creating custom AI agents using advanced multi-agent reasoning frameworks within AI Agent Studio. Customers can also design agentic workflows with planned instructions and triggers to tailor AI interactions to specific business needs. The platform provides resources on user roles, tables, and properties relevant to AI agents for effective configuration and management.

    Availability and Restrictions

    Not all AI model providers and features are available in every geography or environment. Availability varies based on in-country SKUs, data center protections (e.g., FedRAMP, NSC DOD IL5, Australia IRAP-Protected), self-hosted customers, and regulated markets. Customers should consult the latest ServiceNow documentation and knowledge base articles for updates on AI product availability aligned to their region and compliance needs.

    AI Limitations and Responsible Use

    Because AI and machine learning models generate predictions based on data patterns, outputs from Now Assist AI agents may not always be accurate or appropriate. ServiceNow advises customers to rigorously test and evaluate AI outputs, maintain human oversight, and avoid sole reliance on AI-generated decisions—especially in high-impact sectors like healthcare, finance, legal, and security. Customers must comply with ServiceNow’s AI Acceptable Use Policy.

    Data Processing and Privacy

    To operate, AI agents transfer data from individual ServiceNow instances to centralized ServiceNow environments, which may involve third-party cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure. Data handling follows strict internal policies and compliance standards. ServiceNow collects input, output, and edit data from AI usage to improve its AI technologies. Customers retain the option to opt out of future data collection at any time.

    The ServiceNow® Now Assist AI agents are entities that mimic human-like intelligence by using large language models (LLMs). AI agents can perform tasks that range from simple automated responses to complex problem solving. By using AI agents, you can reduce the workloads of your live agents and help increase their productivity.
