Playbook recommendations for placeholder activity
Get AI-generated recommendations for placeholder activities. The system generates recommendations based on an activity’s name and description.
Activation
Playbook recommendations is a skill installed with the ServiceNow Otto for Creator (sn_now_creator) application. You can install this application from the ServiceNow Store website.
Benefits
The AI recommendations skill searched through all available activity definitions, flows, subflows, and actions on the instance. That enables quicker configuration of placeholder activities in your playbook outline, which then reduces the total time to playbook activation.
Supported user interfaces
Access the Playbook Recommendations skill from the Playbooks user interface.
The AI recommendations skill uses the name and description of the activity to generate one to five recommendations for the activity definition to use for a placeholder activity. If there are no recommendations listed, then no activity definitions are considered relevant to the activity name and description.
The system can only recommend activity definitions, flows, subflows, and actions that are available from ServiceNow. Recommendations can’t include user-created activity definitions, flows, subflows, or actions.
Generative AI model training
This Generative AI large language model was pre-trained with internal ServiceNow playbooks to learn playbook creation patterns. The goal was to understand what playbook activities are most relevant for a certain position in a playbook given the trigger and previous activities.
Playbook preference
By default, Workflow Studio shows Playbook recommendations as you configure placeholder activities in a playbook outline. You can hide these recommendations on playbook by playbook basis by turning off the Show recommendations playbook preference. See User preferences for flows for more information.
