    Getting Started and Configuration

    To begin using these features, customers need to configure the Common Finance and Supply Chain settings within their ServiceNow environment. Configuration enables access to generative AI-powered assistance tailored to finance and supply chain workflows.

    Usage and AI Model Providers

    The product supports several AI model providers, including Now LLM Service, Azure OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Anthropic Claude on AWS. Administrators can control which AI options are available using Configuration Controls in AI Control Tower and set preferences at the skill level via the Now Assist Admin console.

    Important Considerations and Limitations

    • Certain Now Assist features may be unavailable in restricted environments such as FedRAMP, NSC DOD IL5, Australia IRAP-Protected data centers, or self-hosted setups. Availability updates are provided in future releases.
    • The AI capabilities rely on machine learning models that may not always produce fully accurate or appropriate information. Users must validate AI outputs, maintain human oversight, and avoid sole reliance on AI for critical decision-making, especially in sensitive domains like finance.
    • Use of this application requires data transfer from individual ServiceNow instances to centralized ServiceNow environments, potentially across different regions or third-party cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure. Data handling complies with ServiceNow’s internal policies.
    • ServiceNow collects usage data including inputs and outputs to improve AI technologies, but customers can opt out of data collection at any time through the Now Assist Opt-Out page.

    Support and Troubleshooting

    Customers can access assistance and troubleshooting resources via the ServiceNow Community on AI and Intelligence, the Known Error Portal, and direct contact with Customer Service and Support.

    Use Now Assist for Common Finance and Supply Chain features to summarize purchase orders and keep fulfillers informed of their status, progress, and required actions.
