Overview
ServiceNow AI Agents are autonomous AI-powered agents built on the Now Platform that can understand, learn, and act on behalf of employees and customers. Integrated with Now Assist (ServiceNow's generative AI layer), these agents go beyond traditional chatbots by taking real actions within ServiceNow workflows—resolving IT incidents, processing HR requests, managing customer service cases, and orchestrating complex multi-step processes. Unlike generic AI assistants, ServiceNow AI Agents operate with full context from the Configuration Management Database (CMDB), knowledge bases, and service catalogs, enabling them to handle tasks end-to-end without human intervention while maintaining enterprise governance and security controls.
