AIOps LEAP gathers incidents or issues and groups them into items called automation opportunities (AOs).

## AIOps LEAP tasks {#using-aiops-leap__cf-using-parent-workflow}

AOs are categorized depending on how critical the services are, number of hand offs, and incident information:

* Critical
* High
* Moderate
* Low
{#using-aiops-leap__ul_rtt_2fc_r2c}

Prioritizing AOs helps IT Operations Management personas address the most critical issues or the issues that are hindering performance. AIOps LEAP provides tasks that support incident research, root cause analysis, and resolution development. AOs also enable you to create knowledge base articles or playbooks.

AOs enable you to create essential artifacts including problem records for deeper analysis, knowledge base articles, and playbooks that give IT operators access to resolution steps.

The Now Assist Explore feature streamlines artifact creation through an intuitive workflow. By clicking the Explore button, you open the Now Assist panel where a workflow menu guides
you through creating the artifacts you need. While you can also generate artifacts using the Actions button, the Explore feature provides a centralized, workflow-driven approach to leverage AO insights and
build resolution resources efficiently.

1. [Generate and modify resolution steps in AIOps LEAP](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/aKjGj1EzuPSMM8s_6Q7mmg "Learn how to generate, edit, and track AI-generated resolution steps for automation opportunities in AIOps LEAP.")

   Generate resolution steps for automation opportunity and when required get focused solutions by modifying the resolution steps.
2. [Create sub-groups for automation opportunities](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ssLOYJDL9elJc8PG8IL18A "Large automation opportunities in AIOps LEAP are broken into smaller, more manageable sub-groups to achieve more focused and accurate incident resolution.")

   Create granular automation opportunities to get targeted resolutions for similar looking issues.
3. [Understand the AIOps LEAP value dashboard](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/6RNm~R8qCi1n9pnLyCzO_w "Learn how to use the AIOps LEAP value dashboard to view the analysis of automation opportunities and cost and time savings achieved using automation for IT operations management.")

   View and understand how automation helps LEAP to achieve cost and time savings.
4. [Create AIOps LEAP problem records](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/SbOO_DniBR9DIKMkprjahA "Create problem records for AIOps LEAP from available incident clusters, also known as automation opportunities, for further analysis.")

   Create a problem record using the resolution steps of an AO. The problem record helps you perform an in-depth analysis to find the root cause of the incident.
5. [Generate AIOps LEAP knowledge base](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/W3QrCzapXO2rTaZo90ghUg "Resolution steps from automation opportunities are used to create knowledge base articles, enabling quicker resolution to similar issues in future.")
