# Generating task summaries for incident records

# Generating task summaries for incident records {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Generate incident record and task summaries with generative AI task summarization capabilities that help reduce the effort required to draft work notes.
You can summarize the incident record and activity information when adding work notes to an incident record or while reassigning an incident.

When adding work notes to an incident record, you can use the Summarize option that uses the generative AI task summarization capabilities. These capabilities summarize an incident record and activity
information, such as the issue details or actions taken.  
The summarize feature is available for the following applets:

* My team
* Major incidents
* My work
{#gen-inc-rec-task-summariz__ul_nzh_wkx_ydc}

After the information summary is generated, you can edit and add the information as work notes. The summary can include the following information:

* Incident record details such as issue or short description
* Activities such as action taken or existing work notes or comments
* Affected CIs and impacted services

{#gen-inc-rec-task-summariz__ul_zkm_zjx_ydc}You can also customize the information summary (prompt) from the ServiceNow Otto for ITSM admin console. For more information, see [Customize a ServiceNow Otto for IT Service Management (ITSM) skill](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/txJE8JAv_vXaRRFb558Xdw "If you have the admin role, you can customize a ServiceNow Otto for IT Service Management (ITSM) skill so that agents can use the generative AI skills in Service Operations Workspace for ITSM and in Core UI.").
