    Summary of Exploring Task Intelligence

    Task Intelligence in ServiceNow leverages machine learning models to analyze your data and automate key task-related processes such as creation, triage, investigation, and deflection. This reduces the time agents spend on routine information preparation, enabling faster task resolution and lowering mean time to resolve (MTTR). It helps agents focus on high-value work, reduce errors, and improve overall service quality and operational efficiency.

    Key Features

    • Model Types Supported: The Admin Console supports various models including incident field prediction, similarity models for ITSM, case field prediction, record categorization, sentiment prediction, and language detection for Customer Service Management (CSM).
    • Admin Console Capabilities: Provides a no-code environment to create, configure, train, test, and deploy machine learning models that predict future data patterns based on historical data.
    • Automation and Optimization: Enables automated task creation, deflection, triage, and resolution to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs.
    • Pre-trained Models: Sentiment and language detection models come pre-trained but can be customized and tested.
    • Analytics and Monitoring: Offers tools to analyze and assess model performance, helping admins optimize predictive accuracy and outcomes.

    Key Outcomes

    • Faster issue resolution and improved service experiences by predicting form field values and incident data.
    • Reduced manual effort through auto-population of fields and categorization of emails and cases based on content and language.
    • Enhanced customer service with sentiment analysis and language detection to better understand and respond to users.
    • Lower error rates and operational costs by automating routine tasks and enabling agents to focus on strategic activities.
    • Improved time to value through intuitive, data-driven workflows that continuously learn and adapt from your organizational data.

    Learn more about Task Intelligence and how machine learning models can learn from your data to make predictions and achieve important outcomes.

    Task Intelligence overview

    With Task Intelligence, you can easily set up machine learning solutions that interact with your data. Then, track how the solutions are impacting creation, deflection, triage, remediation, and optimization moments. With automated task creation, triage, and investigation, agents spend less time receiving and preparing information, so tasks can proceed faster. These models can help you work more efficiently, helping to lower the mean time to resolve (MTTR) of tasks.

    With Task Intelligence, agents:
    • Solve issues faster for better service and experiences
    • Focus  on  meaningful, high-value work
    • Reduce  error  rates  and  drive down  costs
    • Improve time to value with intuitive experiences

    The Admin Console supports the following model types:
    Model Application Description
    Incident field prediction Task Intelligence for ITSM

    Create an incident field prediction model

    Similarity model management Task Intelligence for ITSM Create a similar records prediction model in Task Intelligence for ITSM
    Case field prediction Task Intelligence for CSM

    Predicts output fields on case forms, including categorization.

    Record categorization

    Sentiment prediction Task Intelligence for CSM

    Predicts current and trending user sentiment.

    Note:
    Model is pre-trained but can be tested and edited. Only one sentiment model can be configured.
    Language detection Task Intelligence for CSM

    Detects language which language is being used.

    Note:
    Model is pre-trained but can be tested and edited. Only one language detection model can be configured.

    Task Intelligence workflow

    The Task Intelligence Admin Console uses machine learning models. The models are statistical and can predict future data by training with your past data.

    With the Admin Console, create, configure, train, test, and deploy predictive models used for automation in other ServiceNow features and applications, such as Customer Service Management (CSM).

    Training a machine learning model is when the model learns patterns in past data to make predictions for new data. Models are trained using a lot of data so that they can learn patterns and the large data set makes the learned patterns statistically significant. By answering questions about your information systems, business process, and service operations, the system actively learns from your responses.

    Task Intelligence benefits

    The Task Intelligence Admin Console provides admins with a no-code experience for deploying Task Intelligence solutions. The seamless experience helps you automate and optimize task creation, deflection, triaging, and resolution.

    Features are implemented by two applications: Task Intelligence for Customer Service and Task Intelligence for ITSM.
