ServiceNow has been driving the service revolution through innovative service delivery solutions, which in turn increase operational efficiencies for businesses. Driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered voice assistant integration, ServiceNow further enhances user experiences and interactions. Let’s explore how an AI virtual assistant for ServiceNow can be a game changer to deliver services.
Voice assistants are one of the most effective ways to modernize ServiceNow ITSM. Voice assistants can be added to custom mobile applications or a device like the Amazon Echo. Mobile applications continuously sync data with the ServiceNow platform using ServiceNow rest API for iOS and Android applications. Using voice commands, data can be retrieved from ServiceNow tables. ServiceNow voice to text chatbot is continuously trained using AI functionalities. Below are the key actions we can perform using voice assistant applications.
Consider a scenario where a person is driving to work and wants to know how many open incidents are assigned to them. They can talk to the voice chatbots application (like Alexa, Google Home, Cortana, or Siri) to get the details of the incidents. Those AI chatbots within ServiceNow can then be told to and organize those items in a particular order, or they can be approved or denied in a simple voice command.

Here is the list of ways the AI virtual assistant integration with the ServiceNow platform is going to add more value to service delivery and operational management:
A lot of time can be wasted while navigating the ServiceNow web portal. Especially when searching for the correct knowledge base article or catalog item. AI Voice assistants reduce this waste of time by letting employees raise and track tickets or events by a voice command- anywhere, on any device, at any time (not just during office hours). A voice assistant on a phone or tablet makes this possible.
Most IT service requests, like password changes and troubleshooting, are repetitive and perfect for automation. IT service management voice AI assistants can automate these redundant IT tasks by addressing the issue either by proposing a solution or by suggesting knowledge base articles.
This way, AI voice assistants in ITSM modules provide better enterprise service management and operations, ensuring positive employee/stakeholder engagement.
By blending the capabilities of predictive intelligence, the AI virtual assistant for ServiceNow is another revolution in the technology industry. Backed by AI capabilities, voice assistants provide a lot more analytics on services and delivery efficiency patterns. These analytics data drive businesses to improve services and processes. Predictive intelligence and machine learning capabilities integrated into voice assistants can observe trends and make recommendations proactively. Examples include fixing issues that are hindering business processes, enhancing efficiency, or predicting service outages before they happen.
If the workforce is notified of a risk to operations, they can be well prepared to handle them effectively. This feature is extremely beneficial for services like security. “The Global CIO Point of View” survey by ServiceNow also points out that most CIOs’ are planning to have machine learning or AI solutions solve complex service issues. Refer to the image below.
Tracking work status updates often requires managers to routinely check the portal and communicate back and forth with teams all day long instead of focusing on more strategic tasks. To avoid this waste of time, ServiceNow voice to text assistants can be set to alert managers when there is a status change in an issue.
Voice assistants can also intelligently assign and route/categorize tasks to solve the issue. Doing so, voice assistants are optimizing the workflow, keeping users free from routine but complex decisions involved in the service management process.
