    Configuration and Use

    ServiceNow customers can configure the Now Assist for PSDS application to activate generative AI capabilities within their public sector service workflows. This integration allows agents to quickly grasp case context and produce resolution documentation, enhancing productivity and case management effectiveness.

    Availability and Restrictions

    • Not all AI model providers and Now Assist features are available to customers with in-country SKUs or those operating in restricted environments such as FedRAMP, NSC DOD IL5, Australia IRAP-Protected data centers, and self-hosted customers.
    • Availability also varies by geographic region and regulated markets; customers should regularly check for updates on feature and model provider availability in future releases.

    AI Limitations and Responsible Use

    The application uses AI and machine learning, which may not always produce fully accurate or complete results. Customers are advised to rigorously test and evaluate the outputs for accuracy and suitability, especially in sensitive or high-impact areas like healthcare, finance, legal, and security. Human oversight is critical, and AI outputs should not be solely relied upon for decision-making. Users must comply with ServiceNow’s AI Acceptable Use Policy, which may be updated over time.

    Data Processing and Privacy

    • Data from customer instances is transferred to centralized ServiceNow environments, potentially hosted in different regions or by third-party cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure, following ServiceNow’s internal data handling policies.
    • ServiceNow collects input, output, and edits from the application to improve AI models and services. It also collects case and test run information for summarization purposes.
    • Customers have the option to opt out of future data collection at any time through the Now Assist Opt-Out process.

    Support and Troubleshooting

    Customers can access support through the ServiceNow Community, AI & Intelligence resources, Known Error Portal, and Customer Service and Support. These resources assist with troubleshooting and provide guidance on effective use of Now Assist capabilities.

    With the Now Assist for Public Sector Digital Services (PSDS) application, your agents can use generative AI to summarize the details and comment activity of each public service case to get the context of the case. They can also generate the case resolution notes to share with other agents.
