Now Assist Readiness Evaluation: Assessment engine to assess instance readiness for generative AI and agentic AI Adoption.
The assessment engine evaluates the instance readiness for adopting generative AI and agentic AI capabilities. This application conducts assessments for various Now Assist functionalities, including AI Search, Virtual Agent, IT Service Management (ITSM), Customer Service Management (CSM), and HR Service Delivery (HRSD), and agentic AI workflows in ITSM and CSM space. The assessment also helps to answer critical questions that facilitate the implementation of Now Assist.
How does the Now Assist Readiness Evaluation app help?
- Automates the assessment process saving valuable days of estimated manual effort.
- Reduces time-to-market: Now Assist accelerators provide pre-built templates, tools, and best practices that streamline implementation, enabling faster deployment of Now Assist.
- Improves planning: Provides customers with a level of estimated effort to enable them to plan their projects.
- Provides a more structured approach to Now Assist implementation, minimizing potential risk.
- Helps provide faster Now Assist implementations, enabling time to value with the Now Assist investment.
- Assists in reducing the overall cost of Now Assist implementations.
- Issue categorization: This feature provides a high-level overview of Now Assist capability readiness which helps in taking next steps for Now Assist skills implementation.
- Summary: This feature provides a consolidated summary of all features, including Now Assist capabilities across VA, AI Search, ITSM, CSM and HRSD along with their corresponding estimated remediation efforts. Leveraging advanced algorithms, it automates assessment processes, evaluates potential impacts, and provides actionable insights to ensure quick and reliable results.
- Now Assist in AI Search: This feature provides insights into the status and configuration of AI Search, such as active/inactive profiles, widget versions, and remediation efforts. It also evaluates knowledge management by assessing article counts, categories, group restrictions, and top searches or articles viewed. Additionally, it highlights areas for improvement, offering actionable feedback to enhance knowledge quality and hygiene.
- Now Assist in ITSM: This feature reviews customizations and configurations in the Incident and Task tables, such as fields, UI actions, and scripts. It highlights any changes made, tracks data completeness, and provides key metrics to improve accuracy and consistency in ITSM processes. It also specifies the estimated remediation effort required and reports the language used in the instance.
- Agentic AI for ITSM: Evaluates whether customizations on ITSM-related parent tables (such as Incident and Task) may interfere with AI Agent behavior, task execution, or decision-making. It identifies and flags high-risk customizations to help ensure seamless agent operations and stable instance performance. Each finding includes interactive hyperlinks to the impacted records, allowing users to quickly review, validate, and address potential issues without navigating away from the dashboard.
- Now Assist in Virtual Agent: This feature checks if Virtual Agent is live, tracks active topics and catalog items, and identifies barriers to conversational functionality. It highlights opportunities to convert non-conversational items to conversational ones and tracks automation in catalog items, along with the estimated remediation effort needed.
- Now Assist in CSM: This feature reviews customizations in the Case and Task tables, tracks changes to fields, and monitors data completeness for key fields. It provides insights into past cases and field filling percentages, helping improve data accuracy in Customer Service Management. It also reports the estimated remediation effort needed and the language used in the instance.
- Agentic AI for CSM: Assesses whether customizations on CSM-specific tables (such as Case and Interaction) impact AI Agent functionality. It evaluates data accuracy, field modifications, and scripting issues that may hinder agent-driven tasks and offers targeted remediation to maintain agent efficacy. Each assessment finding includes interactive hyperlinks to the affected records, enabling users to quickly navigate, validate, and resolve issues directly from the dashboard.
- Now Assist in HRSD: This feature analyzes customizations in the HR Core Case and Task tables, tracking field-level changes and ensuring data completeness for critical fields. It provides insights into historical HR Core cases, including field population percentages, to enhance data accuracy in HRSD processes. Additionally, the feature identifies remediation efforts required and reports the languages used within the instance, helping organizations maintain standardized and efficient HR service delivery.
- Hyperlinked Assessment Records: This newly added feature enhances user navigation by embedding hyperlinks within the assessment results. Users can now directly access the underlying records and data points with a single click making it easier to validate, investigate, or take action without switching contexts. It brings clarity and traceability to the assessment process.
- Accelerate Now Assist Readiness with intelligent insights: The Now Assist Readiness Evaluation dashboard is a powerful product feature that accelerates Now Assist Readiness for Now Assist by delivering automated, data-driven insights. With clear visualizations and actionable trends, it reduces estimated manual effort and enables confident, efficient Now Assist implementations.
