    This application provides standalone AI agents that mimic human-like intelligence to perform tasks in your ServiceNow instance. The agents guide you through the required details, confirms actions for safety, and attempts to handle errors while performing operations.
    • In the ServiceNow agentic system, you can create an agentic workflow that comprises of a set of large language model (LLM) instructions along with one or more standalone AI agents to execute an objective. See Create an agentic workflow for information about adding AI agents to create agentic workflows as per your requirement and provide the required trigger.

      You can also search for other available AI agents and add them to your agentic workflow. See Find AI agents for more information.

    • You can create a clone of the required spoke AI agent and customize it as per your requirement. See Duplicate an AI agent for more information about creating a clone.
    • See Now Assist AI agents for information about AI agents.
    Available AI agents include:
    AI agent Description
    Microsoft Intune application assignment deletion AI agent Enables users to delete application assignments in Intune.
    Microsoft Intune group deletion management AI agent Enables users to delete groups in Microsoft Intune.
    Microsoft Intune application assignment creation AI agent Enables users to create application assignments in Intune.
