# Install ServiceNow Otto for AI Search

As an administrator, you can install the ServiceNow® Otto for AI Search application \(sn\_ais\_assist\) from the AI Admin Hub module.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

The ServiceNow Otto for AI Search plugin is automatically installed as a dependency when you install a ServiceNow Otto plugin in ServiceNow Otto Admin. ServiceNow Otto for AI Search is included in AI Suites.

**Note:** When you upgrade to the latest version of ServiceNow Otto for AI Search, the system reindexes content from the Catalog Item Table and Knowledge Table indexed sources. While these reindexing tasks are ongoing, searches may not return Catalog and Q&A Genius Result answers. After reindexing completes, Catalog and Q&A Genius Result answers should appear normally.

## Procedure

1.  In ServiceNow Otto Admin, install one or more ServiceNow Otto plugins.

    To review the instructions for ServiceNow Otto feature plugin installation, see [Install AI plugins in AI Admin Hub](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/intelligent-experiences/install-now-assist-feature-plugins.md). As part of the procedure, you may need to request a license for the plugin from the ServiceNow Store.

2.  Verify that ServiceNow Otto for AI Search is installed:

    1.  Navigate to **All** > **AI Admin Hub** > **Skills**.

    2.  In the workflow list, select **Platform**.

    3.  Verify that the **Conversational experience** feature card displays, and that the **Knowledge base articles Genius Results** and **Actions** skills appear in the **All Conversational experience skills** listing.


## What to do next

With the plugin installed, search administrators can enable Genius Results in the following contexts.

-   Enable all available Genius Result configurations in individual AI Search portals.
