    It is important for customers to note that Now Assist does not provide legal advice or professional recommendations. The outputs are informational and should be used alongside qualified professional judgment. Customers assume responsibility for decisions made based on the AI-generated insights.

    Key Features

    • Contract Analysis: Detects non-standard and missing clauses within contracts to assist in compliance and risk management.
    • Information Extraction: Automatically extracts relevant data from signed contracts to update and maintain the contract repository.
    • Generative AI Skills: Offers AI-driven contract review and analysis capabilities configurable within the ServiceNow platform.
    • Agentic Workflows: Supports automated workflows to enhance contract management efficiency.

    Important Considerations and Limitations

    • Availability of AI models and features may vary by region, data center environment, and regulatory restrictions (e.g., FedRAMP, NSC DOD IL5, Australia IRAP, Regulated Markets).
    • AI outputs may not always be accurate or complete; customers should apply human oversight and validate AI-generated results before making decisions.
    • Deployment in sensitive or consequential areas (legal, finance, healthcare, security) requires careful evaluation and should not rely solely on AI outputs.
    • Customers must comply with ServiceNow’s AI Acceptable Use Policy.

    Data Processing and Privacy

    Contract data processed by Now Assist is transferred from customer instances to centralized ServiceNow environments, which may be hosted in different geographic regions or third-party cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure. Data handling follows ServiceNow’s internal compliance policies.

    ServiceNow collects inputs, outputs, and any user edits to improve AI models and products. Customers have the option to opt out of future data collection via the Now Assist Opt-Out process.
