ServiceNow ITSM has the broadest process coverage here, and its AI now spans the whole request path. The ITSM page says an autonomous workforce of AI specialists can handle password resets, software provisioning and troubleshooting end to end, available across EmployeeWorks, voice, chat, portal, Teams, Slack, email and desktop. ServiceNow Otto is the assistant for ITSM, and Virtual Agent adds Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations, voice support by phone and live agent handoff. ServiceNow also introduces Flow, a conversational AI service desk that resolves employee requests in Slack, Teams and email and that it says can be stood up in a day. Everything runs on one CMDB with incidents, changes and problems. The drawbacks are price and effort: there is no published pricing, contracts are sales-led, and teams not already on ServiceNow face a long rollout. It ranks last on value and ease, not capability.
Who it is for
Large enterprises standardized on ServiceNow that want AI self-service on the same CMDB and workflows.
