Summary of Skill inputs for Now Assist for Telecommunications, Media and Technology (TMT)

Now Assist for Telecommunications, Media and Technology (TMT) allows ServiceNow customers to configure skill inputs that determine how and when each AI skill is used. Inputs specify the source data, including tables and fields, that the skills rely on to generate summaries and notes such as service problem case summaries, customer service summaries, test summaries, and resolution notes.

The platform supports domain separation, enabling customers to logically segment data, processes, and skill configurations by domain for independent management and enhanced security. Access control is managed through ACLs and user identities to safeguard skill usage.

Skill Input Configuration

Each skill has defined inputs specifying relevant tables and fields. While some inputs can be configured or customized, in the current release (Yokohama), the data sources (tables and fields) for some skills like service problem case summarization and resolution notes generation cannot be modified.

Key skills and their inputs include:

Risk Signal and Issues Summarization: Uses Risk signal and issues, Risk solution, and Risk occurrence tables to generate risk-related summaries.
Customer Service Summary: Configured via stages such as general details and graph questionnaire, leveraging the Service Problem Case table.
Service Problem Case Summarization: Inputs include fields from the Service Problem Case table and associated diagnostic and resolution tasks.
Resolution Notes Generation: Uses the Service Problem Case table fields to create resolution notes.
Test Summarization: Uses Test Run and Test Measure tables and related fields to generate test summaries.
Knowledge Article Generation: Drafts knowledge articles using case-related data from the Case table, including descriptions and resolution notes.
Account Onboarding Case Summarization: Configurable by stages (form details, data capture, development, etc.) using Account Onboarding Case and related Account Lifecycle tables.
Engagement Summarization: Utilizes Engagement table and related tables (Risk and issue, Internal play, Success case, Success initiative, Success outcome) to provide comprehensive engagement summaries.
Touchpoint Summarization: Based on Engagement and Meeting details tables, capturing progress and meeting specifics.
Customer Play, Internal Play, and Success Initiative Summarization: Each uses specific tables related to plays, tasks, and success initiatives, with fields covering state, description, progress, due dates, and related metadata.

Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers

Customizable Skill Behavior: Enables configuration of inputs to tailor AI skill operation to customer-specific data structures and business processes.
Data Segmentation and Security: Domain separation and ACLs ensure customers can control data visibility and skill access securely within their organizational boundaries.
Automated Summarization and Note Generation: Helps reduce manual effort by automatically generating summaries and resolution notes across various case types and business areas.
Consistent Data Use: Defined input tables and fields maintain consistency in how AI skills interpret and process data, improving the quality and relevance of AI outputs.

Next Steps for Customers

Customers should review the input tables and fields for the skills relevant to their use cases and configure inputs where supported. They should also leverage domain separation to manage skill configurations and data visibility effectively. For advanced customization, customers can adjust prompts and questionnaires linked to skills like customer service summary.

To secure AI skills and flows, customers should configure ACLs and user identities following ServiceNow security best practices.

Use inputs for each skill to configure how and when a skill is used.

Overview of Now Assist for TMT

Depending on the selected skill, you can configure inputs. These settings determine how a skill is used. An input identifies the data that is used for a skill, such as the table and fields that are used to generate a service problem case summary, resolution notes summary, customer service summary, and test summary.

Domain separation allows users to separate data, processes, and administrative tasks into logical groupings known as domains. Domain separation enables users to independently manage skill configurations, data visibility, and other settings within each domain. Domain separation is possible at the skill level and at the individual configuration level.

Domain separation is possible at the skill level and at the individual configuration level.

Enable security for Now Assist skills and flows through access control lists (ACLs) and user identities. For more information, see Configure ACLs for AI agents and agentic workflows.
