Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Generative AI for IRM:** Utilize AI to understand the context of risk and issue records, facilitating quicker analysis and action. * **Now Assist for IRM Configuration:** Configure the application to activate AI-powered insights and assistance tailored for risk management tasks. * **Agentic AI:** Use AI agents that can autonomously complete tasks in the IRM environment, further streamlining workflow. ## Important Considerations * AI model availability and features vary by region and compliance environment; some AI capabilities are restricted in FedRAMP, NSC DOD IL5, Australia IRAP-Protected data centers, self-hosted environments, and regulated markets. Customers should verify availability for their region and environment. * The AI is based on evolving technology and may not always produce fully accurate or complete results. Customers must test outputs carefully, apply human oversight, and avoid relying solely on AI for critical decisions, especially in high-impact sectors such as healthcare, finance, legal, and security. * Data used by the application is transferred to centralized ServiceNow environments, possibly including third-party cloud providers like Microsoft Azure, and processed according to ServiceNow's compliance policies. * ServiceNow collects usage data to improve AI models and products but provides customers the option to opt out of future data collection. ## Support and Troubleshooting Customers can access support resources such as the ServiceNow Community on AI and Intelligence, the Known Error Portal, and Customer Service and Support for assistance with the plugin. 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. ## Get started {#now-assist-for-irm__section_hht_hgl_5yb} |-|-|-| | [ExploreLearn more about Now Assist for IRM](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/7osi13n6kuk86nzRF5Fb6g "With the ServiceNow Otto for Integrated Risk Management (IRM) application, you can use generative AI to support key Integrated Risk Management (IRM) tasks such as summarizing issues, identifying risks, and reviewing controls.
