Using agentic AI in ServiceNow Otto for Customer Service Management \(CSM\)
The Customer Service Management (CSM) AI Agent Collection provides a set of prebuilt, fully configured AI agents and agentic workflows to address common Customer Service Management scenarios.
These model examples combine autonomous and supervised flows to perform multi-step actions using advanced reasoning, triggered by customer cases, conversations, or detected intents. Built on the ServiceNow AI Platform, the agents use capabilities such as Knowledge Graph, Flow Designer, scripting, Topics, and Catalog Items. They also use Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), record operations, web search, and generative inputs. Powered by AI Agent Fabric and Workflow Data Fabric, the collection operates seamlessly across systems without dependency on data location, while Guardian enforces guardrails for security and conformance. By offering ready-to-use building blocks, it helps guide and automate complex processes, reduce agent friction, and free human agents to focus on higher-value work. This ultimately accelerates resolution times and enhances customer experience.

Agentic workflow |
Description |
Available AI agents |
|---|---|---|
|
Handles end-to-end case or case type validation, creation, verification, and escalation. It can also retrieve relevant context and details from the provided case or interaction to address customer inquiries directly and avoid unnecessary case creation. |
| |
|
Provides agents with real-time, context-aware responses to queries on customer data, case details, product information, catalog entries, and interaction history. Uses multi-turn Q&A to maintain conversational context and accuracy. |
| |
|
Automate and enhance the complaint resolution process by gathering missing information, detecting customer sentiment, categorizing complaints, and proposing resolutions. It supports human agents by managing complaint intake, triage, research, resolution, and ongoing communication, reducing manual effort and case closure time. |
|
Note:
You can use Now LLM Service, Azure OpenAI, Google Gemini or Anthropic Claude as the AI model provider for all generative AI skills and AI agents. Use the Configuration Controls in AI Control Tower to define which options are available, then set the skill-level preferences in the AI Admin Hub console. For more information, see Large language models on the ServiceNow AI Platform.
For the Now LLM Service updates, see Model provider updates.
Security implementation considerations
Enable security implementation to execute AI agents and agentic workflows through Access Control Lists (ACLs) and user identities. For more information, see Implement access control in AI agents
Agentic workflows and their AI agents use role masking to determine which users can access them. Ones installed with your applications have specific roles that come included with the application. If you select Users with specific roles for user access, you must configure the security controls to include these roles. For the instructions to change the security controls, see Define security controls for an agentic workflow.

Considerations for running the autonomous AI Agents
Important: By default, all agentic workflows and AI agent records are read only.
To run the AI agents autonomously, you must first duplicate the agentic workflow, and then proceed with the following steps:
- Activate the agentic workflow.
- Activate all agents within the agentic workflow.
- Activate the trigger to invoke the agentic workflow automatically. If you prefer to invoke it manually, activating the trigger isn’t necessary.
- Azure OpenAI is recommended for CSM agentic workflows. For information on Large Language Models (LLMs) for AI agents and agentic workflows, see Large language models on the ServiceNow AI Platform.
Standalone AI agents
There might be AI agents installed on your instance that are not used in agentic workflows. To learn how to see all agents that are available to you, see Find AI agents.
