    The Now Assist for Employee Experience enables your employees to check the following options:
    My Tasks
    An employee can view the status of their tasks. They can check their assigned, pending, or open tasks. Depending on their query, the Now Assist in Virtual Agent shows the details of the tasks and lets them open a task for more information by using the Task center.
    The Now Assist for Employee Experience supports the following tasks by default:
    • HR tasks like submitting a catalog request
    • Survey tasks

    An employee can check their HR service tasks and also submit a request. They can mark a task as complete, view the checklist of a task, or upload a document to support a task. The Now Assist in Virtual Agent also enables an employee to take a survey with the chat survey task.

    For example, a manager can chat with Now Assist in Virtual Agent by entering queries like Show me my tasks, Show me my pending tasks, Show me my assigned tasks, Show me my open tasks, or Show me my tasks due today/due this week/due later/due soon.

    My Approvals
    An employee can check the approvals that are assigned to them.
    The employee's manager can directly approve or reject an approval. Depending on the query, the chat lets a manager approve or reject a task directly.
    The Now Assist for Employee Experience supports the following approvals by default:
    • Catalog request approvals
    • Change request approvals
    • KB article approvals
    For example, a manager can enter a query like Show me my approvals, Show me my approvals due today or something similar.
