Generate a risk assessment summary that is based on your inherent risks, residual risks, target risks, and control effectiveness data by using the ServiceNow Otto for IRM application. Your approvers get the key insights to understand the context quickly, and you can reduce the time involved in creating summaries manually.

## Before you begin

Install the ServiceNow Otto for IRM application to generate a risk assessment summary. For more information, see [ServiceNow Otto for Integrated Risk Management (IRM)](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/9XIVT8ztRyN9W8NJL0QCGw "Use the ServiceNow Otto for Integrated Risk Management (IRM) plugin to summarize issue records, identify potential risks, and review controls using generative AI. It helps you quickly understand the context of records, reduce manual effort, and make faster, more informed decisions by delivering relevant insights directly within your existing workflows.").  
Important:  
This generative AI skill is turned on by default. The skill will be automatically available to appropriate role users for the application. For more information, see [AI agents, skills, and agentic workflows on by default](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=now-assist-skills-on-by-default&version=zurich&pubname=zurich-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).

Role required: The sn_grc_sharegenai.risk_asmt_user role must be assigned manually to the assessor (sn_risk_advanced.ara_assessor) and approver (sn_risk_advanced.ara_approver) roles to generate the risk assessment
summary.

## About this task
