    Summary of Exploring Task Intelligence

    Task Intelligence leverages machine learning models to analyze your data and make predictions that improve task management processes. It enables automated task creation, triage, investigation, and remediation, helping agents spend less time on administrative work and more on high-value activities. This results in faster issue resolution and improved service experiences, reducing mean time to resolve (MTTR) and operational costs.

    Task Intelligence overview

    With Task Intelligence, you can easily set up machine learning solutions that interact with your data. Then, track how the solutions are impacting creation, deflection, triage, remediation, and optimization moments. With automated task creation, triage, and investigation, agents spend less time receiving and preparing information, so tasks can proceed faster. These models can help you work more efficiently, helping to lower the mean time to resolve (MTTR) of tasks.

    With Task Intelligence, agents:
    • Solve issues faster for better service and experiences
    • Focus  on  meaningful, high-value work
    • Reduce  error  rates  and  drive down  costs
    • Improve time to value with intuitive experiences

    The Admin Console supports the following model types:
    Model Application Description
    Incident field prediction Task Intelligence for ITSM

    Create an incident field prediction model

    Similarity model management Task Intelligence for ITSM Create a similar records prediction model in Task Intelligence for ITSM
    Case field prediction Task Intelligence for CSM

    Predicts output fields on case forms, including categorization.

    Record categorization

    Sentiment prediction Task Intelligence for CSM

    Predicts current and trending user sentiment.

    Note:
    Model is pre-trained but can be tested and edited. Only one sentiment model can be configured.
    Language detection Task Intelligence for CSM

    Detects language which language is being used.

    Note:
    Model is pre-trained but can be tested and edited. Only one language detection model can be configured.

    Task Intelligence workflow

    The Task Intelligence Admin Console uses machine learning models. The models are statistical and can predict future data by training with your past data.

    With the Admin Console, create, configure, train, test, and deploy predictive models used for automation in other ServiceNow features and applications, such as Customer Service Management (CSM).

    Training a machine learning model is when the model learns patterns in past data to make predictions for new data. Models are trained using a lot of data so that they can learn patterns and the large data set makes the learned patterns statistically significant. By answering questions about your information systems, business process, and service operations, the system actively learns from your responses.

    Task Intelligence benefits

    The Task Intelligence Admin Console provides admins with a no-code experience for deploying Task Intelligence solutions. The seamless experience helps you automate and optimize task creation, deflection, triaging, and resolution.

    Features are implemented by two applications: Task Intelligence for Customer Service and Task Intelligence for ITSM.
