SAM Now Assist skills not working root cause & fix

New article articles in ServiceNow Community · Mar 21, 2026 · article

I was working on a SAM Now Assist project where SAM Pro, Procurement, and Now Assist for SAM plugins were active. However, I was still encountering an issue where no skills were working and errors were being thrown. I also attempted to repair the plugins, but the issue persisted.

The issue was resolved from the Now Assist Admin panel.

 

Navigate to Now Assist Admin → Settings → Manage AI models → Manage model providers

1 Go to Now Assist Admin workspace and open  Settings  in the top navigation.

2 Under  Manage AI models , click  Manage model providers.

3 Click the  Edit model provider  button (top right). You'll see available providers.

4 Select your preferred provider (Google Gemini used in this instance) and click  Activate.

5 Return to the Software Asset Workspace. Publisher compliance summaries, product summaries, and recommended actions should now generate without error.
