## Summary of ITSM Wrap-up and resolve incident agentic workflow

The Wrap-up and resolve incident agentic workflow in ServiceNow automates the process of resolving incidents by generating resolution notes, selecting resolution codes, and attaching relevant Knowledge Base (KB) or Known Error (KE) articles.
This workflow accelerates incident closure by leveraging AI to summarize work notes, recommend KB or KE articles, and update incident records accordingly.
Show full answer Show less  
This workflow is designed for incidents that are either in progress or resolved (excluding those resolved with Known Error code), where agents have completed investigation and troubleshooting and need to quickly finalize the incident.

## Key Features

* **Resolution Notes Generation:** AI generates resolution notes based on work notes and comments, which agents can review and approve before adding to the incident record.
* **Resolution Code Selection:** Agents select appropriate resolution codes, which are then recorded in the incident.
* **Duplicate Incident Handling:** When the resolution code is "Duplicate," duplicate incident information is updated automatically.
* **Known Error Article Attachment:** If the resolution code is "Known Error," the workflow searches for and attaches relevant KE articles from recommendations or allows manual attachment.
* **Knowledge Base Article Attachment or Draft Creation:** After resolution, agents can attach recommended KB articles or create draft KB articles linked to the incident.
* **Integration with ServiceNow Otto Panel:** The workflow is accessible from the Otto panel, enabling agents to query and execute the wrap-up process efficiently.

## AI Agents Utilized

* **Incident Resolution Details AI Agent:** Generates resolution notes, provides resolution codes, and updates duplicate incident information.
* **Incident Knowledge Article AI Agent:** Recommends and attaches KB articles; assists in creating draft KB articles if no suitable articles exist.
* **Incident Known Error Article AI Agent:** Searches and attaches KE articles when the resolution code is Known Error.

## Setup Requirements

* Ensure the **ServiceNow Otto for ITSM (snitsmgenai)** plugin is installed and configured.
* Enable relevant AI skills under **AI Admin Hub \> AI Skills**, specifically Resolution notes generation and KB generation.
* Activate the ServiceNow Otto panel for users via the AI Experience tab.
* Configure roles with access to the workflow via the UI display settings (the itil role is included by default).

## Using the Workflow

* Access the workflow via **AI Agent Studio \> Create and manage \> Wrap up and resolve incident**.
* Review and adjust workflow settings such as triggers and UI display locations as needed.
* Execute the workflow from the ServiceNow Otto panel by querying as instructed in the workflow's key requirements.
* The workflow sequentially or concurrently uses AI agents to generate notes, select codes, attach articles, and update incident records based on selected resolution codes.

## Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers

This agentic workflow streamlines incident resolution by automating documentation and knowledge management tasks, reducing manual effort, and ensuring consistency in incident closure. It supports faster turnaround times, improves knowledge sharing through KB and KE article integration, and enhances incident record accuracy---enabling service teams to deliver efficient and reliable IT Service Management outcomes.  
Use the Wrap-up and resolve incident agentic workflow to generate resolution notes and select resolution code to resolve an incident. Attach the Knowledge Base (KB) article or create a draft Knowledge article. Attach a Known Error (KE) article to the incident record when the resolution code is selected as Known Error. Update duplicate incident information when the resolution code is Duplicate.

codes. You can update the duplicate incident information to the incident record if the resolution code is selected as Duplicate.

You can also attach any of the KE articles from the similar KE article recommendations to the incident record if the resolution code is selected as Known Error and then resolve the incident. After the incident is resolved, you can
attach any of the KB articles from the similar recommended KB articles to the incident record. You can also select to create a draft KB article.  
To access the agentic workflow:

1. Navigate to AllAI Agent StudioCreate and manage.
2. Select Wrap up and resolve incident.

## AI agents used in the Wrap-up and resolve incident agentic workflow {#now-assist-itsm-wrap-up-resolve-incident-aw__section_av5_3bv_jgc}

In the Wrap-up and resolve  incident agentic workflow, specific AI agents are used for each type of resolution to generate the desired recommendations and output.  
Important:  
In the Define availability screen for the AI agent, make sure that the Status field is enabled to activate the AI agent.
{#now-assist-itsm-wrap-up-resolve-incident-aw__table_bh5_mbv_jgc__entry__2}

| AI Agent | AI Agent role |
|-|-|
| Incident resolution details AI agent | 1. Generates and recommends resolution notes based on the work notes and comments in the activity stream. After you approve, the resolution notes are added to the incident record. 2. Provides the available resolution codes to select. After selection, the codes are added to the incident record. 3. Updates duplicate incident information to the incident record if the selected resolution code is Duplicate. {#now-assist-itsm-wrap-up-resolve-incident-aw__ol_jht_sbv_jgc} |
| Incident knowledge article AI agent | 1. Resolves the incident and then searches and recommends similar KB articles. You can select any of the recommended KB articles or enter any KB article irrespective of any similar KB articles found which are then attached to the incident record. 2. If no similar KB articles are available or you don't want to select from the available similar KB articles, you can still choose to create a draft KB article anyway. You can provide the input as Draft in the ServiceNow Otto panel. In such a case, the AI agent drafts and recommends a KB article that you can link to the incident record. {#now-assist-itsm-wrap-up-resolve-incident-aw__ol_nbs_5bv_jgc} |
| Incident known error article AI agent | Searches for and recommends similar KE articles if the resolution code is Known Error. You can select any of the recommended KE articles that are then attached to the incident record and the incident is resolved. If no relevant KE articles are available, you can enter any KE article, which is then attached to the incident record. |
