* Refer to the [Now Assist Overview](https://www.servicenow.com/content/dam/servicenow-assets/public/en-us/doc-type/legal/sn-assist-overview.pdf) to see the prebuilt skills that exist and are currently available for purchase in ServiceNow Now Assist packages and to review the number of assists consumed.
* Perform these steps in your ServiceNow instance.
