Actionable AI for every corner of the business
With GenAI embedded directly into the Now Platform, customers get out‑of‑the‑box intelligence with ServiceNow’s multimodal model—Now AI—built and optimised for enterprise workflows. Multimodal models incorporate and process many types of data, such as text, images, audio, and video, so users can benefit from a range of inputs to get better results. New capabilities add to ServiceNow’s extensive cross‑platform family of GenAI features tailored to meet the needs of different types of users, including employees, agents, admins, and developers.
- For example, new Now Assist for Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) helps accelerate strategic decision making by analysing and distilling customer feedback and requests, so employees can boost customer satisfaction and business growth.
- Additional new GenAI features built for app development include service catalog item generation, app generation, and playbook generation, enabling developers and admins to create catalog items and playbooks and build net‑new apps in a fraction of the time. This scales automation through the enterprise and saves hours building complex workflows.
- Public sector customers will be able to implement Now Assist for more intuitive constituent and employee experiences. Now Assist GenAI features powered by a Now AI multimodal model will be available for public sector customers in the Government Community Cloud (GCC), ServiceNow’s dedicated cloud designed to meet the regulatory, compliance, and security needs of government agencies. With Now Assist in GCC, agencies can use trusted GenAI capabilities to help with faster incident and constituent response and to improve self‑service resources.
