New ServiceNow Now Assist and Microsoft Copilot integration bring the power of two generative AI assistants into one seamless enterprise experience.
ServiceNow and Microsoft Corp. have announced an expanded strategic alliance, combining their industry-leading generative AI capabilities to enhance employee choice and flexibility. The new ServiceNow Now Assist and Microsoft Copilot integration brings the power of two generative AI assistants into one seamless enterprise experience, making it easier than ever to create value for enterprise workers and employees to unlock new productivity avenues.
Now Assist, and Microsoft Copilot will intuitively interact to meet employees where they are so they can execute common productivity tasks. This is made possible by integrating the intelligence of Now Assist with ServiceNow’s AI-powered workflows with Microsoft Copilot to create a more holistic, connected experience. Employees will get the help they need from the most relevant generative AI assistant, regardless of which platform they are in.
“We strongly believe that the next shift in generative AI will result from the collaboration of industry leaders putting AI to work for their customers. We’re on our way to bringing the best of both worlds with the combined power of Now Assist and Microsoft Copilot to transform how work happens,” said CJ Desai, president and chief operating officer at ServiceNow. “Today’s news marks a new chapter in the way businesses will operate. With Microsoft as our partner, we’re enabling a smarter way to work, where generative AI assistants can cohabitate and interact to unlock new productivity levels.”
“At Microsoft, we are committed to helping our customers adapt and thrive in this new age of AI,” said Rajesh Jha, executive vice president of Experiences + Devices at Microsoft. “Fundamental shifts are transforming productivity for every individual, organization, and industry, which is why our work with ServiceNow is valuable. The seamless integration of our AI-powered assistants will help usher in improved levels of employee and IT productivity, reduce context switching, and ensure easier execution of everyday work tasks, adding to the value of our customers’ technology investments.”
Two generative AI assistants in one seamless, intelligent experience
The simultaneous presence of ServiceNow and Microsoft’s AI assistants within Microsoft 365 can help quickly eliminate employee friction.
Specifically, Copilot can hand off employee requests to Now Assist in Microsoft Teams. Whether it’s requesting or resolving a customer’s support issue or even getting connected to a live agent for support on a complex problem, Now Assist will provide employees with responses to questions and conversationally recommend actions and next steps. These actions combine Now Assist’s domain knowledge of the enterprise and awareness of the user’s context and organizational data from Microsoft 365 chats, email, calendar, and files.
Future capabilities will also enable such experiences as allowing employees to engage Copilot for Microsoft 365 from ServiceNow to create documents, such as a presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint, based on ServiceNow prompts, empowering AI-driven digital business.
