![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 2 minutes to read  
As an AI administrator, configure ServiceNow Otto for Contract Management Pro so that contract fulfillers can use the AI capabilities while working on contract documents or search the contracts for information from the ServiceNow Otto panel.

## Before you begin

Ensure that the application is in Global or ServiceNow Otto for Contract Management Pro scope.

Role required: sn_cm_gen_ai.ai_contract_admin

## About this task

Use the AI Admin Hub console to configure ServiceNow Otto for Contract Management Pro. The console contains everything that you need to configure the AI skills. For more information, see [Overview tab in AI Admin Hub](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=configuring-now-assist&version=australia&pubname=australia-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).  
The following skills are available for Contract Management Pro in the AI Admin Hub console:

* Contract metadata extraction
* Contract obligation extraction
* Contract analysis
{#confg-na-in-cmpro__ul_zbc_4p3_t2c}

You can use Now LLM Service, Azure OpenAI, Google Gemini or Anthropic Claude on AWS as the AI model provider for all generative AI skills and AI agents. Use the Configuration Controls in [AI Control Tower](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=ai-model-providers&version=australia&pubname=australia-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US) to define which options are available, then set the skill-level preferences in the [AI Admin Hub console](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=manage-large-language-models&version=australia&pubname=australia-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US). For more information, see [Large language models on the ServiceNow AI Platform®](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=exploring-large-language-models&version=australia&pubname=australia-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).

## Procedure

1. Install the Contract Management Pro - Prime plugin (sn_cm_ai_prime).  
   For information about the plugin installation process, see [Install plugins for ServiceNow Otto](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=install-now-assist-feature-plugins&version=australia&pubname=australia-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).
2. Navigate to AllAdmin CenterAI Admin Hub to access the AI Skills tab of the AI Admin Hub console.
3. Navigate to EmployeeCM Pro.
4. Select Activate skill on the skill you want to activate.  
   Figure 1. ServiceNow Otto for Contract Management Pro
5. In the skill guided setup, configure the use cases and other mappings for the skill.  
   For more information on configuring contract metadata extraction, see [Configuring contract metadata extraction](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/pMaavaI4q_CCGoNGGovT3Q "Configure system properties and use cases for metadata extraction so that a contract manager can use AI to extract metadata from a contract and add the extracted information to the contract repository.").

   For more information on configuring contract obligation extraction, see [Configuring contract obligation extraction](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/KfTPLyL6iShusWkeXsxPCQ "Configure and map use cases for the contract obligation extraction skill in the AI Admin Hub console to automatically extract key contractual obligations from signed contracts.").

   For more information on configuring contract analysis, see [Configuring contract analysis](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/wTW22wLvp1BLOej5DYQiAg "Configure use cases with associated field groups and fields, and map them to clauses and expected responses. AI uses the applicable use case to analyze a contract document and identify non-standard and missing clauses.").
6. In the Define access page, select the roles to specify who can access the skills.  
   * If custom roles were added before upgrading to ServiceNow Otto for Contract Management Pro Australia patch 1, they are updated automatically by a script and appear in the Define access page.
   * If custom roles were not added, the default role sn_cm_gen_ai.ai_contract_fulfiller, sn_cm_gen_ai.ai_contract_admin, and sn_cm_gen_ai.ai_contract_config automatically appear in the Define access page.
   * If new roles are created after the upgrade, add them manually in the Define access page.
