The Assess CMDB Impact agentic workflow identifies the upstream services and CIs that are likely to be affected by an incident or by a proposed change. The workflow reasons about propagation likelihood based on CMDB dependency topology and the nature of the change. The workflow returns a structured list with impact levels and the reasoning.

Sometimes you're not sure which integration to use to capture CI data. When you provide Now Assist with the name of a particular CI class, it can recommend the data sources or Service Graph Connectors and ingestion sources that can best populate CMDB data.

The Business application candidate agent discovers and suggests business applications to associate with existing application services in the CMDB, reducing manual mapping effort and improving data governance. The agent uses AI clustering and feedback loops to propose business application candidates for your review.

View an AI-generated summary of the CMDB success advisor for Hardware Asset Management (HAM) dashboard data. The summary highlights the key findings on CMDB data accuracy, completeness, and health, and suggests remediation actions to address the findings.

The ServiceNow AI Platform now brings you a new AI experience with three licensing tiers available:

-   Foundation: AI basics to deliver insights
-   Advanced: AI to boost productivity across relevant use cases
-   Prime: Act autonomously with all AI assets, and create your own

Depending on your license, you will have access to certain application features, generative AI skills, agentic workflows, and AI agents.

ServiceNow Otto for CMDB analyzes your search criteria, identifies implicit filters, determines the optimum search method (keyword search or query generation), queries Service Graph data, and then displays the results. You then have the option to refine the search using natural language in the Now Assist panel.

The skill answers your questions on CI classes and attributes to help you work in CI forms, dashboards, home pages, and other views on the workspace. You can submit similar queries on the Explore CI view.

Search queries can depend on relationships between CIs and can span multiple tables. For example, you might ask: "Search for servers that depend on databases - only Linux servers running Redhat".

  • Now Assist > ServiceNow Otto announcement

ServiceNow Otto introduced AI on the platform. As that experience has evolved, there's a new name for the experience. ServiceNow Otto® is the conversational AI platform integrated into ServiceNow workflows. It provides agentic capabilities, supports multimodal interactions across web, mobile, and messaging channels, and enables autonomous orchestration for cross-system workflows.The Now LLM Service is no longer the default model provider for new or inactive AI assets. A third-party LLM is now selected by default, while existing configurations using the Now LLM Service continue unchanged. The Now LLM Service is still available for manual selection.

Correction to the required role for the Provide advice on CMDB governance agentic workflow. The admin or system_scheduler_admin role is required.

The sn_cmdb_admin role is now required to use the 'Create configuration item' agentic workflow (was sn_cmdb_editor).

  • Skills now also require the now_assist_panel_user role

AI skills that execute in the Now Assist panel now require both the cmdb_dedup_admin and now_assist_panel_user roles.
