    About this task

    The generative AI capabilities can provide a human-like catalog request experience over the Virtual Agent conversational interface. By using the generative AI capabilities with Virtual Agent, your organization can provide a conversational experience for request submissions.

    When you configure generative AI for catalog item request submissions, your requesters get the following experience:
    • Contextual question prompts that enable a more human-like conversation that is based on answers to previous questions.
    • Slot filling that recognizes the answers to one or more questions on the requester's input.
    • Ability to answer catalog item questions.
    • Ability to exit the request submission process at any point.
    Although the following catalog item question types are supported in the conversation mode, natural language responses aren't supported for them:
    • Reference
    • Lookup select box
    • Lookup multiple choice
    • Requested For
    • Attachment
    • Multiple choice question with more than 10 choices
