## Key Features

* **AI Integration:** Leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning to deliver predictive capabilities and intelligent automation in custom apps.
* **Configuration and Usage:** Offers guided processes to configure and utilize AI agents and skills tailored for specific business needs.
* **Data Processing:** Transfers data from customer instances to centralized ServiceNow environments or third-party cloud providers (e.g., Microsoft Azure) following strict internal policies to ensure compliance and security.
* **Data Collection and Improvement:** Collects inputs, outputs, and user edits to enhance AI technologies, with options for customers to opt out of data collection if desired.

## Important Considerations

* Availability of AI models and features may be limited based on customer location, data center region, or regulatory compliance requirements (including in-country SKUs, FedRAMP, NSC DOD IL5, Australia IRAP-Protected data centers, self-hosted environments, and regulated markets).
* AI-generated outputs may not always be fully accurate, complete, or appropriate; customers must test and supervise AI results carefully, especially in sensitive domains such as healthcare, finance, legal, security, and infrastructure.
* Users must adhere to ServiceNow's AI Acceptable Use Policy, which governs responsible and ethical use of AI capabilities.

## AI limitations {#add-ai-to-custom-apps-with-now-assist-for-app-engine-enterprise__id_mpg_qgn_xyb}

This application uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, which are rapidly evolving fields of study that generate predictions based on patterns in data. As a result, this application may not
always produce accurate, complete, or appropriate information. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that this application has been fully trained or tested for your use case. To mitigate these issues, it is your responsibility
to test and evaluate your use of this application for accuracy, harm, and appropriateness for your use case, employ human oversight of output, and refrain from relying solely on AI-generated outputs for decision-making
purposes. This is especially important if you choose to deploy this application in areas with consequential impacts such as healthcare, finance, legal, employment, security, or infrastructure. You agree to abide by [ServiceNow's AI Acceptable Use Policy](https://www.servicenow.com/ai-acceptable-use-policy.html), which may be updated by ServiceNow.{#add-ai-to-custom-apps-with-now-assist-for-app-engine-enterprise__p_kv2_nfg_h1c}

## Data processing {#add-ai-to-custom-apps-with-now-assist-for-app-engine-enterprise__id_w3h_qgn_xyb}

This application requires data to be transferred from ServiceNow customers' individual instances to a centralized ServiceNow environment, which may be located in a different data center region from the one where your instance is, and potentially to a third-party cloud provider, such as Microsoft Azure. This data is handled per ServiceNow's internal policies and procedures, including our policies available through our [CORE Compliance Portal](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0564067).{#add-ai-to-custom-apps-with-now-assist-for-app-engine-enterprise__p_lv2_nfg_h1c}

## Data collection {#add-ai-to-custom-apps-with-now-assist-for-app-engine-enterprise__id_qcq_4gn_xyb}

ServiceNow collects and uses the inputs, outputs, and edits to outputs of this application to develop and improve ServiceNow technologies including ServiceNow models and AI products. Customers can opt out of future data collection at any time, as described in the [Now Assist Opt-Out page](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=opt-out-of-data-sharing-for-now-assist&version=zurich&pubname=zurich-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).{#add-ai-to-custom-apps-with-now-assist-for-app-engine-enterprise__p_jv2_nfg_h1c}
