ServiceNow aims at holistic AI solution across their product suites. Right from ServiceNow “Quebec” release, they launched AI search with intelligent query features that deliver appropriate solutions.
AI search uplifts the user experience in various service areas such as ITSM (IT Service Management), ITOM (IT Operations Management), CSM (Customer Service Management), SecOps (Security Operations Management), HRSM (HR Service Management). This feature is available across different ServiceNow interfaces like the portal, mobile apps, and virtual agents.
Now, let’s take a real-time instance to better understand the use case of AI search feature in ServiceNow. A employee faces configuration issues and receives a popup frequently to check on it. He/she tries to resolve the issue and reaches out to the IT help desk. In this case, the virtual agent chat bot leverages the AI Search feature of ServiceNow and provides the relevant articles based on user’s responses. If the issue is not resolved, the virtual agent will proceed with live agent handoff to troubleshoot and resolve the issue.
In this way, AI Search enhances the user experience and reduces the efforts of respective teams. The users can have accessibility to knowledgebase articles and cater to their needs without the need for IT staff or HR general intervention.
