customer knowledge content a true Enterprise generative AI application AI search assist allows customers to focus responses on customer specific content ensures that access rights to that content are respected and can reduce the risk of hallucination and inappropriate responses because it's not using the the big huge Corpus that these big loms are using is just limited to the Enterprise data first I'll call your attention or I'll not first but this is an innovation lab offering no warranties no support by service now but we're seeing generative AI come to servicenow up next in the list Asset

such as flow designer virtual designer or virtual agent designer and mobile app builder and supports generative AI service now enabled features such as AI search for generative AI I tell you what folks as soon as I finish recording and this is getting installed in my instance if it'll let me I don't see and that's actually kind of disappointing I don't see where it's available with your production and non-production and personal developer instances but I will try to see if I can get my hands on this because that looks pretty cool um in fact they've even got generative AI terms of use servicenow terms of use Store app addendum and it's limited access May 2023 so let me just go ahead and open that PDF for you so maybe some special some ones are getting access to this and not everybody but that would have been cool if uh if I had it look at it showing up there in the um uh in the flow designer under actions generative AI controller to generate content summarize yeah pretty cool stuff there trying to get this PDF to open and it doesn't seem to want oh there we go servicenow dinner to AI controller overview benefits limitations um I don't see who there's how you install it yada yada yeah I don't see anything about who it's limited to but that's too bad I will still play with this if I can get my hands on it all right up next GRC Cloud security compliance accelerator

default support for gpt-3.5 Turbo and support for gpt3 models enables content filtering for harmful and inappropriate content provided by Azure open AI man I don't see anything other than this requiring Utah patch 2 or Tokyo patch 8 no subscription required everyone look over there on the right hand side no subscription required it doesn't say that it's available on any instance so again like the previous one I hope I can get my hands on it okay this box must be installed with the generative AI controller application spokes will not work as expected if installed separately separately without generated AI controller Store app all right I've got some homework to do on this this um yeah this is exciting no surprise that servicenow is going to get into this game but it's happening uh up next the open AI generative AI spoke um let's see spoke integration so this is another one required um to be done with the gender of AI controller but enables the same thing we just saw on the previous app so it looks like two spokes uh plus the controller to get that capability uh up next payment framework for conversational channels Uh custom let's see payment framework yeah that's the same thing custom feature or key features custom control for payments in Virtual designer out of the box integration with Apple pay for Apple messages for a business up next new performance analytics

affected CI using metrics and CI actions framework leverage playbooks to perform remediations flexible framework that works with service operations workspace and integrate with the agent client collector and I don't know what mecm is I'll probably remember it as soon as I start recording out of the box but can be connected with different front-end experience as well as back-end monitoring Integrations all right man lots of exciting stuff in here security Center this is keep your platform secure the security scanner is comprised of four tools hardening scanner metrics and learning now I think this is a rebranding there was one available in the Innovation lab instant security Center and I think they've just renamed it security Center and it appears like a new app for us because I don't have any previous versions and down the bottom I didn't even do things I see it do think they say this is the initial release but I think I've covered this in my channel before it's just now becoming officially supported I believe lots of homework to do up next service operations workspace metric Explorer investigate metric behavior in order to troubleshoot issues and find the root cause drill down on metrics focusing on specific time range at ad hoc metrics to charts create custom charts compare and correlate different host application and service metrics view alerts on a chart timeline explore metric for CIS without the alert context this screenshot looks like the old workspaces so I'm not sure if they're just bringing this forward or we have to go back to the old agent workspace to see this but you can get an idea oh this is a Pilates e Pilates metrics uh there you go yeah so I don't know what's going on with this one but it says service operations workspace but it looks like agent workspace everybody leave me a comment what do you think down below next service operations do I got the same thing twice uh metric Explorer API so application programming interfaces for what we just saw there SPM planning attributes core provides the Frameworks for defining configuring attribute of resources and tasks to be used for resource management capacity planning and financials key features everything I just said configure planning attributes for resources and tasks to enable them for resource management and project financials so that does require a subscription but that is new second to last technology portfolio management TPM for Enterprise The Architects to manage portfolio risk based on item hardware and software life cycles key features uh I don't know why this is new 1.0.2 TPM has been around hasn't it um I know that this brought to this Enterprise architectural workspace so maybe that's what this is is bringing it to the workspace but let's just read on view insights for your technology portfolio and act on the technology lifecycle risks evaluate all business applications by accessing audit information for your technology portfolio view technology life cycle exceptions and manually update verification status for the exceptions access the list of TPM discover Technologies and TPM discover technology run logs that's something different update technology portfolio data for a business application or app services and create new cards in the technology portfolio section that very much sounds like a workspace feature right there so I think this is maybe underpinning the Enterprise architecture workspace but that's new technology portfolio management and the servicenow store last on our list virtual agent adapter common an app that contains common Transformations messages and content shared between Microsoft teams and slack adapter and that's pretty much the description on that one so it looks like one of those under the hood applications but that is it for this bonus episode of service now tour highlights there were 522 new applications that I found dropped on May the 4th goodness knows I hope there weren't more than that and I missed some but of those we just went through 38 new releases if you want a full listing of everything I captured that got released on May the 4th head over to my blog at justin.house I'm going to post a link to every single application including these 38 new releases so you can click on them and go explore them on your own because I'm not going to be able to make a video that covers all of the stuff that was released this is too much stuff to cover but I can tell you there's plenty I want to get my hands on in the meantime I hope you found this video helpful if you did please like
