Solution
ServiceNow wanted to reduce the time employees lost to repetitive L1 incidents and turn IT support from a reactive function into a proactive AI-enabled service desk. ServiceNow implemented a ServiceNow-centered stack built around Now Assist, Virtual Agent, Predictive Intelligence, and Knowledge Base. Key components included Now Assist adds generative search, summarization, and drafting; Virtual Agent handles conversational self-service; Predictive Intelligence classifies and routes work; Knowledge Base stores reusable support content. Requests enter through Virtual Agent, are classified or summarized by Now Assist and Predictive Intelligence, and uses context from Knowledge Base. The same record of work is then exposed back to agents and end users through the platform. Running employee support and operational workflows on one data model reduced manual handoffs and made expansion easier.
Data flow
Requests enter through Virtual Agent, are classified or summarized by Now Assist and Predictive Intelligence, and uses context from Knowledge Base. The same record of work is then exposed back to agents and end users through the platform.
