    • New:
      • For L1Service Desk AI Specialist
        • Give admins tighter control over how incidents are understood and handled by the L1 SDS. Teams can now tailor which incident fields are classified, such as category, assignment group, or configuration item, so AI-driven triage aligns more closely with their data model and operational standards. This helps improve classification relevance and downstream routing accuracy. This capability is available with the L1 SDS installed.
        • Reduce manual rework when AI cannot fully resolve an incident. Service Desk Managers can define a fallback assignment group so unresolved incidents are automatically routed to the right team, ensuring faster handoff and fewer stalled tickets. This capability is available with the L1 SDS installed.
        • Close the loop on stalled conversations and keep queues clean. Incidents placed On Hold while waiting for a requester’s response will now automatically resolve after 2 days of inactivity, helping teams reduce backlog noise and focus on active work. This scheduled behavior activates with the L1 SDS installed.
        • Improve confidence in configuration item predictions. A new configurable confidence threshold allows teams to fine-tune how aggressively the AI predicts CIs, balancing automation with accuracy based on their environment and data quality. This capability is available with the L1 SDS installed.
        • Gain clearer visibility into AI performance. Updated dashboard metrics give Service Desk Managers better insight into how the L1 Service Desk AI Specialist is performing, supporting data-driven tuning and ongoing optimization. This capability is available with the L1 SDS installed
      • Incident Assist Agentic Workflow -New conversational experience for incident investigation. Incident Assist is capable of answering context-based queries by accessing multiple related tables (incident, change, problem, SLA, CI, outage) through NAP
      • Activity Response Generation for Requests - Activity response generation skills now available for Requests and Requested Items in both Core UI and Service Operations Workspace
      • Zoom Call Diagnostics (DEX Integration) - Diagnose and resolve Zoom call quality issues with device-level root cause analysis and suggested resolutions
      • Device Boot Time Monitoring - Monitor device boot time and use Now Assist to quickly diagnose startup delays with actionable resolutions
      • DEX Issue Diagnosis and Resolution Agentic Workflow - Integration of Zoom call diagnostics in the agentic workflow to enable service desk agents to diagnose Zoom call quality issues.
    • Changed:
      • Change Request Risk Explanation - Skill configuration moved to NASK
      • Change Request Summarization - Skill configuration moved to NASK
      • L1 SDS Avatar Update — Updated to align with design standards for a more cohesive visual presence across configuration pages and incident records.
