About this task

Install the ServiceNow Otto for IRM application to generate regulatory alert summaries. For more information, see ServiceNow Otto for Integrated Risk Management (IRM).

Important: This generative AI skill is turned on by default. The skill will be automatically available to appropriate role users for the application. For more information, see AI agents, skills, and agentic workflows on by default.

The summary for a regulatory alert is generated based on the prompts set during the configuration of the summarization skill. For example, if you select important dates, regulatory authority, summary of changes, penalties, and fines as key details to capture, the summary includes that information. After the summary is generated, you can directly use the summary and save it in the activity stream of the regulatory alert.

Starting with version 19.0.x, users who have the ServiceNow Otto for IRM application installed can use the regulatory alert summarization, recommend alert impacted citations, and regulatory alert impacted control objectives skills.

Important: Be sure to check AI-generated summaries for accuracy. If no information is available, the generated summary displays “No specific information available for penalty or fines and so on".

By default, all skills exist in the global domain. When you use AI in a domain-separated environment, users are only able to access data in their domain. For example, if a user uses the summarization skill, AI only uses material that exists in the user's domain when generating that summary. Additionally, there is no co-mingling of data for domain-separated instances when using generative AI skills. The data resides only on the instance, and the shared services used for generative AI do not persist any requests (prompts) and responses. For more information, see Domain separation in the AI Admin Hub console. (Note that global domain is not the same as global scope. For more information, see Exploring Next Experience pickers.)
