Monitor and complete agentic activities as needed.

## Before you begin

Role required: playbook.agent_user, playbook.agentic_workflow_user

## About this task

Leverage AI agents in Agentic Playbooks to automate work and increase efficiency. Make sure to review the AI generated data for accuracy. If AI agents run into any issues with collecting data, some information may be missing or
not 100% complete.

Activities that are configured to be completed independently by AI agents are automatically processed and marked complete. You can view the generated output and the process followed by the AI
agents in the Now Assist panel. For activities that require manual intervention, you must review the AI-generated output and complete the activity.

## Procedure

1. Launch your playbook.
2. To monitor an activity that is being performed by an AI agent, select View progress.  
   Activities performed by AI agents display a Now Assist status at the top of the activity card.
3. If you encounter inaccurate information, correct the suggested input from the AI agent before completing the activity.  
   Similarly, if you encounter incomplete information, add the information before completing the activity.

## Using Agentic Playbooks in contract renewal process {#running-agentic-activities__example_rw2_jjv_4gc}

In the following example, Beth Anglin, a CSM / FSM Workspaces user, is creating a contract record for renewal. Traditionally, this process involves manually reviewing records, calculating discount percentages, verifying
compliance, and drafting an email to the customer. With Agentic Playbooks, the process is streamlined as AI agents perform these tasks upon saving the contract record.

1. As soon as Beth saves the new contract record, the Playbook tab appears, and the AI agents start calculating the discount percentage.
2. Beth selects View progress to monitor the activities performed by the AI agents.

   The Now Assist panel displays the activities performed by the AI agents.
3. Beth reviews the AI generated discount percentage and can update it if necessary.  
   Note:  
   If the activity is configured to be completed independently by AI agents, the agents calculate the offered discount percentage, populate the discount details, complete the activity, and automatically move to the next activity in the playbook. See [Configuring Agentic Playbooks](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/9TEM76VbAOC6~vBGpHFzZg "As a playbook author in Workflow Studio, configure AI Agents to perform a playbook activity.").
4. By selecting the How button, Beth can view a summary of the AI agents' calculation process.
5. After submitting the discount, AI agents start drafting an email for Beth, ensuring a seamless experience.
6. Beth reviews the drafted email and selects to send it to the customer.
