ServiceNow Generative AI (Now Assist & related features)

Differentiation Factor

Unlike generic chatbots, ServiceNow’s generative AI is embedded in ITSM/CSM workflows (incidents, requests, approvals, KB creation) and can directly interact with ServiceNow records, routing, and automations; it is positioned as a native, governed AI layer for enterprise service operations rather than a standalone AI tool.
