What advantages does Now Assist from ServiceNow offer over other AI tools?
Now Assist has several advantages over other AI tools, particularly in the area of IT service management and workflow automation. Integration with the ServiceNow platform, Contextual Knowledge Management, Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and proactive support make Now Assist a comprehensive and effective solution. The powerful tool not only provides self-service experiences and more accurate answers, but also the ability to integrate advanced collaboration tools and continuously improve through machine learning.
The benefits of ServiceNow Now Assist include:
- Integration into ServiceNow platform: Now Assist is seamlessly integrated into the ServiceNow platform, creating a unified workspace for service management and AI capabilities. This integration enables smooth collaboration between human and AI-based work processes.
- Contextual Knowledge Management: Now Assist uses Contextual Knowledge Management to provide contextual information. This means that the AI is able to understand the context of requests and offer relevant information or solutions based on this context. This enables more accurate and precise answers.
- Natural Language Understanding (NLU): Now Assist uses advanced Natural Language Understanding technologies to understand natural language. This allows users to make queries in their normal language without having to use complex search terms or specific commands.
- Proactive assistance and automation: One of Now Assist’s strengths lies in its ability to provide proactive assistance. The AI can actively provide relevant information, alert users to upcoming tasks, and even perform automated actions to complete certain tasks without the user having to intervene.
- Integration of collaboration tools: Now Assist is able to integrate seamlessly with common collaboration tools. This enables interaction with the AI directly in platforms such as Slack or Microsoft Teams, resulting in improved communication and more efficient collaboration.
- Easy to implement and use: Implementing Now Assist is user-friendly and does not require in-depth technical knowledge. The platform provides tools and resources to help companies quickly integrate AI support into their service processes.
- Continuous improvement through machine learning: Now Assist uses machine learning to continuously improve. The AI models learn from every interaction and adapt to new requirements and patterns. This leads to continuous optimization of performance.
- Self-service experience: Now Assist enables a self-service experience based on real conversations. The Virtual Agent already uses AI to answer user queries with relevant articles and contributions.
- More precise answers: Generative AI can provide more precise and clearer answers to questions, and thus reduce ambiguity for the customer. It also shortens the time it takes to solve the problem.
- Retrieving extended knowledge: Users are no longer limited to the information within their ServiceNow applications. They can also ask questions that retrieve information outside their company’s knowledge base.
- Improved conversational design: Existing communication can be easily extended, or new conversations can be created with generative AI experiences through drag-and-drop functionality to solve user problems and answer questions.
- Scalability: Now Assist is built on a scalable foundation and enables companies to transform the way they work (together) and serve their customers and partners — through intuitive, integrated and conversational AI.
