Starting with the Zurich Patch 4 release, some AI agents, generative AI skills, and agentic workflows are turned on by default in the ServiceNow AI Platform.

Important: Some generative AI skills, agents, and agentic workflows are turned on by default. The default behavior works as follows:

  • New customers

    When you install an AI product, designated generative AI skills, AI agents, or agentic workflows are turned on automatically.

  • Existing customers who are upgrading (starting with Zurich Patch 4)

    There is no change to skills, agents, or agentic workflows that are currently enabled and customized.

    An AI asset is turned on if:

    • The AI plugin is installed, but the asset was never turned on.

    • An admin has never adjusted roles for the skill. An AI asset is not turned on if:

    • The asset was previously turned on, and then turned off again.

    • An admin has adjusted roles for the asset.

For more information, see AI agents, skills, and agentic workflows on by default.

Note: Some workflow skills support ServiceNow Otto functionality. Deactivating these skills can negatively affect some features.

Note: Depending on your license, you will have access to certain application features, generative AI skills, agentic workflows, and AI agents. For more information, see ServiceNow product tiers.
