# Interaction Management

Interactions provide a centralized location for all communication channels in the platform. Each interaction represents a request for assistance through a given channel, for example, a call or a chat. The purpose of Interaction Management is to help get insights into the channel's effectiveness.

## Overview of Interaction Management

The ServiceNow AI Platform offers several forms of queuing and communication management, but each system is tightly coupled to the specific area. Interactions offer an alternative, flexible, and more extensible option so that each product area can use the same framework.
