Enable an AI-first fulfiller experience for simplified incident and request management.

The following experiences are available after configuring the fulfiller experience:

  • Simplified fulfiller experience with a unified record view and AI-embedded workflows.
  • Improved triage and resolution of incidents by leveraging historical resolution patterns to inform decision-making, thereby enabling service desk agents to focus on resolving complex issues.

For information about available AI agents for fulfiller configurations, see AI agents and agentic workflows in Simplified IT Service Management.
