    Important Considerations

    • Availability of AI model providers varies by region and deployment environment. Some features may be restricted in certain data centers, such as FedRAMP, NSC DOD IL5, Australia IRAP-Protected, or self-hosted environments.
    • Not all AI products and skills are available in regulated markets; customers should review the latest availability updates to determine applicable features.

    AI Limitations and Responsible Use

    As Now Assist for FSM relies on AI and machine learning, outputs may not always be fully accurate or appropriate. Customers are responsible for validating AI-generated content, exercising human oversight, and not relying solely on AI for critical decisions—especially in sensitive areas like healthcare, finance, legal, employment, security, or infrastructure.

    Use of this application requires adherence to ServiceNow’s AI Acceptable Use Policy, which may be updated periodically.

    Data Processing and Privacy

    • Data from customer instances is transferred to centralized ServiceNow environments, potentially in different geographic regions or third-party cloud providers (e.g., Microsoft Azure), and is managed according to ServiceNow’s internal policies and compliance standards.
    • ServiceNow collects inputs, outputs, and edits from the application to enhance AI technologies and models. This includes work order task data and chat transcripts used for summarization and note generation.
    • Customers have the option to opt out of future data collection as detailed in the Now Assist Opt-Out documentation.

    Support and Troubleshooting

    Customers can access support through the ServiceNow Community, AI & Intelligence resources, the Known Error Portal, and direct Customer Service and Support channels.
