Results are provided on an as is basis and are not guaranteed to be accurate or complete. ## Summary of Use Now Assist to create spokes and build actions Now Assist enables ServiceNow customers to quickly create custom spokes and reusable actions within Integration Hub by leveraging generative AI capabilities in the Spoke Generator. This functionality allows you to build spokes for third-party applications by inputting API documentation snippets, useful when those applications lack OpenAPI Specifications or Postman collections. To use this feature, an Integration Hub subscription is required. Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Spoke Generation with AI:** Use the Spoke Generation skill, part of the Now Assist for Creator application, to generate spokes and actions automatically. * **Input-Based Creation:** Build spokes by providing snippets from third-party API documentation, streamlining integration development without needing full API specs. * **Integration Hub Compatibility:** Supported from Xanadu Patch 3 and later, with specific versions of Spoke Generator (v4.0.0) and Workflow Studio (v26.2.5+). * **Easy Activation:** Install Now Assist for Creator from the ServiceNow Store and activate the Spoke Generation skill via the AI Admin Hub console. * **LLM Provider Configuration:** Configure a third-party large language model provider as the default to enhance spoke generation. ## Important Considerations * **Availability Restrictions:** Some Now Assist features may be unavailable in certain data center environments or regions. Check current availability for your environment. * **AI Limitations:** Outputs generated by AI may not always be fully accurate or appropriate. It is critical to validate and oversee AI-generated content before use, especially in sensitive domains. * **Data Processing and Privacy:** Using Now Assist involves transferring data to centralized ServiceNow environments and potentially third-party cloud providers. ServiceNow manages this data under strict compliance policies, with options to opt out of data collection. ## Practical Steps for Customers * Install the **Now Assist for Creator** application from the ServiceNow Store. * Activate the Spoke Generation skill in the AI Admin Hub console to enable spoke creation capabilities. * Configure a third-party large language model provider as the default to optimize spoke generation. * Use the Spoke Generator by inputting API documentation snippets to automate integration creation and generate reusable actions. * Ensure thorough testing and human oversight of AI-generated spokes before deploying in production environments. Use Now Assist in Spoke Generator to create spokes and actions by providing the required third-party API documentation snippet as an input. ## Capabilities {#now-assist-in-spk-gen__section_gdk_qmx_zxb} You can build custom spokes for the required third-party application by copying and pasting the required snippets from the API documentation. This feature is useful when the required third-party application doesn't have an OpenAPI Specification or Postman collection. This feature requires an Integration Hub subscription. For more information, see [Legal schedules - IntegrationHub overview](https://www.servicenow.com/content/dam/servicenow-assets/public/en-us/doc-type/legal/snc-addendum-integrationhub.pdf). ## Supported versions {#now-assist-in-spk-gen__section_fqz_5cs_bdc} Spoke Generation skill is supported on these versions and later releases. * Xanadu Patch 3 * Spoke Generator v4.0.0 * Workflow Studio v26.2.5 * Workflow Studio v26.2.6 {#now-assist-in-spk-gen__ul_cyn_c43_fdc} ## Skill version {#now-assist-in-spk-gen__section_tdt_q33_d2c} Spoke Generation skill v1.0.4 is the latest version. ## App version {#now-assist-in-spk-gen__section_ljb_pyx_dfc} Now Assist for Spoke Generation v1.6.0 is the latest version. ## Activation of the spoke generation skill {#now-assist-in-spk-gen__section_pgv_gpj_bdc} The spoke generation skill offers generative AI capabilities to build spokes. This skill is installed with the Now Assist for Creator (sn_now_creator) application. You can install this application from the [ServiceNow Store](https://store.servicenow.com/sn_appstore_store.do#!/store/home) website. After installing the Now Assist for Creator (sn_now_creator) application, activate the Spoke Generation skill in the [ServiceNow Otto for Creator feature](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/JD4afuzhXHfzZ6rvR9GjbQ "ServiceNow Otto for Creator includes generative AI skills that can make developing on the ServiceNow AI Platform more efficient.") from the AI Admin Hub console.Figure 1. Spoke Generation skill in AI Admin Hub console * For information about the AI Admin Hub console, see [AI Admin Hub console](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=configuring-now-assist&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US). * For steps to activate the required skill, see [Activate a Now Assist skill](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=configure-a-now-assist-skill&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US). {#now-assist-in-spk-gen__ul_okg_jvj_bdc} Important: Some Now Assist products/features are currently unavailable for customers in the FedRAMP, NSC DOD IL5, or Australia IRAP-Protected data centers, self-hosted customers, or in other restricted environments.

Be sure to check for availability updates in future releases. ## AI limitations {#now-assist-in-spk-gen__section_okq_skc_r1c} This application uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, which are rapidly evolving fields of study that generate predictions based on patterns in data. As a result, this application may not always produce accurate, complete, or appropriate information. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that this application has been fully trained or tested for your use case. To mitigate these issues, it is your responsibility to test and evaluate your use of this application for accuracy, harm, and appropriateness for your use case, employ human oversight of output, and refrain from relying solely on AI-generated outputs for decision-making purposes. This is especially important if you choose to deploy this application in areas with consequential impacts such as healthcare, finance, legal, employment, security, or infrastructure. You agree to abide by [ServiceNow's AI Acceptable Use Policy](https://www.servicenow.com/ai-acceptable-use-policy.html), which may be updated by ServiceNow.{#now-assist-in-spk-gen__p_kv2_nfg_h1c} ## Data processing {#now-assist-in-spk-gen__section_pkq_skc_r1c} This application requires data to be transferred from ServiceNow customers' individual instances to a centralized ServiceNow environment, which may be located in a different data center region from the one where your instance is, and potentially to a third-party cloud provider, such as Microsoft Azure. This data is handled per ServiceNow's internal policies and procedures, including our policies available through our [CORE Compliance Portal](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0564067).{#now-assist-in-spk-gen__p_lv2_nfg_h1c} ## Data collection {#now-assist-in-spk-gen__section_qkq_skc_r1c} ServiceNow collects and uses the inputs, outputs, and edits to outputs of this application to develop and improve ServiceNow technologies including ServiceNow models and AI products. In addition, this application will collect information about scripts (and associated script records) in which Now Assist for code generation is called. Customers can opt out of future data collection at any time, as described in the [Now Assist Opt-Out page](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=opt-out-of-data-sharing-for-now-assist&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).
