    AI Agent Studio overview

    With the AI Agent Studio application, you can create, manage, or test AI agents and agentic workflows all in one place. To enable the agentic AI experience, you must first install Now Assist AI agents. For more information, see Install Now Assist AI agents.

    The Overview page has three sections where you can find the information that you must understand, begin, and continue developing AI agents and agentic workflows. When you first go to the AI Agent Studio, tour points are available to guide you through the experience.

    In the Ready-made agentic workflows and AI agents section, you can find the templates and ready-made AI agents and agentic workflows that you can incorporate as-is or in custom workflows that you create. You can even explore more templates to find the ones that best fit your needs.

    In the Recent agentic workflows and AI agents activity section, you can find the agentic workflows or AI agents that have been created or configured most recently. On both List views, you can create, duplicate, or delete agentic workflows or AI agents. The tab also includes a link to the AI Agents Dashboard where you can review the details about AI agent usage and performance.

    The third section is a card to open a modal with a journey checklist that describes the steps to incorporate the AI agents into your workflows successfully and a video that provides an overview of the AI agents and workflows to get you started. Select View steps to open this section.

    Managing agentic workflows and AI agents

    From the AI Agent Studio Create and manage page, you can create, duplicate, or manage the existing agentic workflows and AI agents. This page has two tabs, one for agentic workflows and one for AI agents. You can edit the columns of the List view to change what information is displayed. You can also search or filter the Lists to find the agentic workflows and AI agents that you're looking for quickly. By selecting the name of the agentic workflow or AI agent, you can open Guided Setup to configure or reconfigure the agentic workflow or AI agent.

    The following example shows the AI Agent Studio create and manage page after several Now Assist applications are installed.

    AI agent testing

    From the AI Agent Studio testing page, you can test your agentic workflows and AI agents by asking them to complete short tasks that would be part of their more advanced workflows. For example, you could task the Resolve an incident agentic workflow to resolve a specific incident. After the task begins, you can see the AI agent conversation, the AI Agent Orchestrator, and the chain of logic that is used to achieve the task.

    The following example shows the inputs for a resolve requests agentic workflow on the testing page of AI Agent Studio.
