    Configuring Flow Assist

    To utilize Flow Assist, customers must enable Flow Assist skills within the Now Assist for Creator application on their instance. Proper configuration allows rapid flow generation and improved user experience when building automated processes.

    Usage Considerations and Limitations

    • Some Now Assist features, including Flow Assist, may be unavailable in restricted environments such as FedRAMP, NSC DOD IL5, Australia IRAP-Protected data centers, self-hosted deployments, or certain geographic regions. Customers should verify availability based on their instance location and compliance requirements.
    • Flow Assist relies on AI and machine learning models that may not always produce fully accurate or appropriate outputs. Customers are advised to rigorously test AI-generated flows, apply human oversight, and avoid sole reliance on AI for critical decision-making, especially in sensitive sectors like healthcare, finance, legal, or security.
    • Data used by Flow Assist is transferred securely from customer instances to centralized ServiceNow environments and potentially to third-party cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure, following ServiceNow’s internal compliance policies. Customers have the option to opt out of data collection that supports AI improvements.

    Support and Additional Resources

    ServiceNow provides documentation on roles required to use Flow Assist, configuration details, troubleshooting assistance through the ServiceNow Community and Known Error Portal, and customer support channels. Keeping informed about product availability and updates ensures optimal use of Flow Assist capabilities.

    Use Flow Assist to generate flows from text prompts and to generate recommendations for the next step of a flow. Flow Assist is part of the Now Assist for Creator application.
