Now Assist in Virtual Agent
Now Assist in Virtual Agent helps organizations conduct advanced GenAI chat experiences with enhanced guided configuration capabilities. ServiceNow customers can deploy this feature in about 15 minutes. Customers and employees can now solve problems faster, as questions reach the right employee faster. GenAI-driven chats can instantly pull the most relevant information or actions from the customer’s knowledge base and service catalog.
Handling service requests and asking for additional information is also incorporated into Virtual Agent. This allows customers to have faster and more efficient conversations with the agent.
Flow Agent
Flow generation accelerates the development of workflows on the Now Platform. It supports administrators and developers in generating blue-prints for workflows so they can develop faster and at larger scale. It converts plain text into low-code workflows so developers no longer have to build flow automations from scratch. Once the initial workflow is created, developers can easily make continuous adjustments and refinements using the no-code design interface in App Engine.
Now Assist for FSM
Now Assist for FSM helps field service providers deliver a better, more proactive experience and increase productivity. The new solution uses GenAI to access all activity, parts and incident data to summarize work orders. For field service management, moving from location to location and depending on mobile devices is critical. By simplifying the work order process, Now Assist for FSM improves technician service, documentation, compliance and consistency.
