AI native
The AI native solution is a set of offerings with AI at the core. You can use intelligent agents and skills embedded throughout your experience to help you gain insights, work faster, and automate outcomes.
Rather than offering AI capabilities as separate add-ons, ServiceNow now structures them in three progressively more powerful tiers: Foundation, Advanced, and Prime.
Foundation includes routine automation and AI-assisted insights, Advanced adds agentic workflows that can synthesize context, and Prime delivers a fully autonomous workforce that executes complex, multi-step tasks.
This framework makes the AI implementation path simple, predictable, and scalable for every platform.
Hinweis:
Contact your ServiceNow account team for information about availability and entitlement details for your organization. The rollout of AI native offerings is independent of your organization's upgrade cycle.

AI platform enablers
Every offering has a set of platform-level AI capabilities powering the skills, agents, and governance experience across all product lines.
- Now Assist
- Now Assist is the generative AI experience embedded throughout the ServiceNow AI Platform, delivering skills such as incident summarization, sentiment analysis, reply generation, and case resolution assistance. Now Assist skills are available at every tier, across ITSM, CSM, HRSD, and industry solutions. For a full overview of the Now Assist panel and administration tools, see Now Assist panel.
- Now Assist AI agents
- Now Assist AI agents extend generative AI into autonomous agentic workflows. Using AI Agent Studio, administrators can configure out-of-the-box agents at Foundation and Advanced tiers, or build net-new agents from natural language instructions at the Prime tier.
- AI Agent Fabric
- AI Agent Fabric is the communication layer that enables ServiceNow AI agents to collaborate with each other and with third-party AI systems using open protocols — including Agent-to-Agent (A2A) and Model Context Protocol (MCP). Foundation and Advanced tiers include A2A outbound connectivity; Prime adds inbound MCP Server capability, enabling external platforms to invoke ServiceNow agents directly. For implementation details, see Enable MCP and A2A for your agentic workflows.
- AI Control Tower
- AI Control Tower is embedded at every tier, providing centralized governance, lifecycle management, and real-time visibility across all AI assets — whether built natively on ServiceNow or sourced from external vendors. At Foundation and Advanced, AI Control Tower discovers and manages ServiceNow AI assets; Prime extends full management and assist metering to external AI assets as well. For configuration guidance, see Exploring AI Control Tower and Configure AI Control Tower.
- Workflow Data Fabric
- Workflow Data Fabric grounds AI agents in real enterprise data by connecting any application, database, or system to the ServiceNow AI Platform — without requiring data to be moved or replicated. WDF Foundation, including Integration Hub, Robotic Process Automation Hub, Automation Center, and Data Catalog, is embedded in every AI native edition. WDF Advanced, adding Zero Copy Connectors and Stream Connect, is available as a paid upgrade.
- RaptorDB
- RaptorDB is the next-generation ServiceNow database, purpose-built to deliver the performance and scale that AI-native workloads demand. RaptorDB Standard underpins every AI native edition with improved response times and optimized query performance; RaptorDB Professional unlocks ultra-scale analytics, enhanced column-store capabilities, and advanced instance topology support for organizations running the most demanding generative AI and machine-scale data use cases.
- Moveworks for ServiceNow (EmployeeWorks)
- ServiceNow EmployeeWorks combines Moveworks' conversational AI and enterprise search with ServiceNow's unified portal and autonomous workflows, giving employees a single, natural-language front door to enterprise services — available across Teams, Slack, browser, and mobile. EmployeeWorks capability is bundled at a level aligned with each AI native tier, ensuring that conversational access scales with your agentic AI investment. For more information, see the Autonomous Workforce and EmployeeWorks announcement.
