The AI Data Kit plugin for Now Assist enables you to add datasets to a data catalog and create collections for use in ServiceNow SDK.

## AI Data Kit overview {#exploring-now-assist-data-kit__cf-exploring-parent-overview}

If the base system Now Assist skills don't fit your needs, you can use AI Data Kit to create custom datasets and data collections that can be used in AI Skill Kit for evaluation.

| Benefit | Feature | Users |
|-|-|-|
| Addition of datasets to a data catalog. | [Add a dataset](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/7FFJKMF8Ylj1dSPz~Xa1Nw "Import data from a ServiceNow table or a local file into AI Data Kit as a dataset. Datasets are the foundation of data collections, which you publish for use in custom skill evaluation in Now Assist Skill Kit.") | AI developer |
| Create smaller datasets from existing datasets. | [Create a derived dataset](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/GYvyubZ19GZZofWSG3QTGA "Create a smaller, derived dataset from an existing dataset using AI Data Kit. Use derived datasets to isolate specific records for focused ground truth labeling or evaluation without modifying the original dataset.") | AI developer |
| Merge multiple datasets and create a collection that can be used by AI Skill Kit. | [Activate a skill](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/6tjeJEpB9pCt6ypF5ez6Mg "After you publish a skill, a Otto admin must activate it in AI Admin Hub. Activating the skill makes it available for users to trigger within the platform.") | AI developer |
