  • 00:06:55
    productivity while maintaining an
  • 00:06:57
    excellent user experience this is really
  • 00:06:59
    become a a crucial um theme with nearly
  • 00:07:03
    every customer we talk about this comes
  • 00:07:04
    up in one manner or another and the
  • 00:07:07
    targets that we're trying to uh enable
  • 00:07:10
    with uh you know the technology we've
  • 00:07:12
    developed is really around uh driving
  • 00:07:14
    self-service for requesters with
  • 00:07:16
    engaging content that helps them be more
  • 00:07:18
    productive and also deflects t uh
  • 00:07:21
    deflects incidents from an agent
  • 00:07:22
    perspective we want to get them up to
  • 00:07:24
    speed faster whenever an incident is
  • 00:07:26
    created uh so that they don't have to
  • 00:07:28
    ask redundant questions uh and that they
  • 00:07:30
    can either address an incident you know
  • 00:07:32
    themselves or uh if they have to
  • 00:07:34
    transfer an incident to to another agent
  • 00:07:36
    that they can do so quickly and in a
  • 00:07:38
    concise manner so that redundant
  • 00:07:40
    questions don't need to be asked or
  • 00:07:42
    investigation doesn't get conducted a
  • 00:07:44
    second time um and then from an owner
  • 00:07:47
    perspective we we and we want to enable
  • 00:07:50
    the development of content right so that
  • 00:07:53
    um based on using generative AI to
  • 00:07:55
    develop content that uh drives
  • 00:07:57
    additional self-service uh in the future
  • 00:08:00
    um and from an owner's perspective we
  • 00:08:02
    really want to
  • 00:08:03
    enable increase return on investment by
  • 00:08:07
    getting our Solutions up and running and
  • 00:08:09
    available for end users quickly um and
  • 00:08:12
    so this uh the need for AI power
  • 00:08:15
    transformation is really driven from a
  • 00:08:17
    lot of problems that uh are prevalent
  • 00:08:20
    across uh Enterprises today you know we
  • 00:08:23
    see a lot more a lot more technology
  • 00:08:25
    being used which really is driven
  • 00:08:27
    incidents there's fewer people available
  • 00:08:30
    to address it issues um there's always
  • 00:08:33
    budget constraints and and there's often
  • 00:08:37
    times not content that's available to
  • 00:08:39
    help address questions and so it can
  • 00:08:41
    lead to uh many different issues for
  • 00:08:44
    users and
  • 00:08:45
    agents
  • 00:08:47
    um you know this includes poor
  • 00:08:49
    experiences and just an overall U slow
  • 00:08:52
    time to resolve incidents and increase
  • 00:08:55
    cost um also a lack of trust in an
  • 00:08:57
    organization where the content might not
  • 00:08:59
    be be of high quality and you know more
  • 00:09:02
    specifically within an IT organization
  • 00:09:04
    you know an employee won't be able to
  • 00:09:06
    serve themselves so they uh set up an
  • 00:09:10
    incident and an agent takes time to get
  • 00:09:12
    up to speed on it uh they may or may not
  • 00:09:15
    document their their steps and if they
  • 00:09:17
    do so it's it's manual and um any
  • 00:09:21
    content that is developed to help
  • 00:09:23
    address uh indicate what resolutions
  • 00:09:26
    were provided may not be of high quality
  • 00:09:28
    or may not get created at all so this is
  • 00:09:31
    really why we've developed nalysis for
  • 00:09:32
    itm and and the vision that we've got uh
  • 00:09:35
    for nalysis is really represented with
  • 00:09:38
    this Loop um we've got this streamlining
  • 00:09:41
    of resolutions uh on the agent side that
  • 00:09:46
    really automates the creation of content
  • 00:09:48
    and then drives additional self-service
  • 00:09:50
    in the deflection of incidents and the
  • 00:09:53
    this this Loop is really uh what we're
  • 00:09:55
    trying to drive for and it and it
  • 00:09:57
    delivers a better overall EXP experience
  • 00:09:59
    or at scale that um reduces costs
  • 00:10:03
    because you can either deflect incidents
  • 00:10:05
    or address them with tier one agents and
  • 00:10:07
    overall develop better content in your
  • 00:10:09
    organization with a high higher level of
  • 00:10:12
    service and more trust in the content
  • 00:10:14
    that is uh available and so you know we
  • 00:10:18
    talk about now assist devel delivering
  • 00:10:20
    increased self-service reduced time to
  • 00:10:22
    Value overall quality a better
  • 00:10:24
    experience and and a lower total cost um
  • 00:10:28
    I think this is pretty well OD and we're
  • 00:10:30
    we're winding down on the slides here I
  • 00:10:32
    think I'm getting through them in about
  • 00:10:33
    five minutes so um good timing um from a
  • 00:10:37
    self-service perspective we're really
  • 00:10:39
    driving to have now assis uh increase
  • 00:10:42
    the ability for end users to self-serve
  • 00:10:45
    with an excellent experience and and
  • 00:10:47
    make it uh available in an overall easy
  • 00:10:49
    way for your organization from an agents
  • 00:10:52
    perspective we really want to help
  • 00:10:54
    support the reduction of the time to
  • 00:10:55
    resolve incidents that are created with
  • 00:10:57
    high quality service and a good
  • 00:10:59
    experience on the agent side of things
  • 00:11:01
    and this again should be easy to deploy
  • 00:11:04
    um uh for the admin and then we recently
  • 00:11:08
    launched this service resilience
  • 00:11:10
    capability that was uh uh included in
  • 00:11:13
    our latest release around change
  • 00:11:15
    summarization we've got more service
  • 00:11:17
    resiliency capabilities that are coming
  • 00:11:19
    in subsequent releases but this is
  • 00:11:21
    designed to increase the reliability of
  • 00:11:23
    service uh and deliver an overall
  • 00:11:25
    increased service quality uh with
  • 00:11:28
    excellent experience and again be very
  • 00:11:30
    quick to
  • 00:11:31
    deploy um and with that I think we're
  • 00:11:34
    going to get into our demo so let me
  • 00:11:36
    take a quick pause here see if there's
  • 00:11:37
    any comments or questions Brian Jason
  • 00:11:40
    Goku
  • 00:11:42
    anything no questions in the chat but
  • 00:11:44
    feel free to use the chat and post it to
  • 00:11:46
    everyone if you need to toggle it on or
  • 00:11:49
    off I think by default it posted to the
  • 00:11:51
    host and panelist it's helpful for
  • 00:11:53
    everyone to be able to see the questions
  • 00:11:54
    and we can answer them um as we see
  • 00:11:57
    them awesome thanks okay so getting into
  • 00:12:01
    the demo then I'm real excited so we
  • 00:12:03
    just had our xanadoo release um in
  • 00:12:06
    September which uh enabled the uptake of
  • 00:12:08
    the August store release uh we've got a
  • 00:12:11
    handful of highlights that we're going
  • 00:12:12
    to include here but I'll touch bases on
  • 00:12:15
    uh a lot of the existing capabilities
  • 00:12:16
    that may have had some other more minor
  • 00:12:18
    enhancements uh but but of note we're
  • 00:12:20
    going to look at our chat recommendation
  • 00:12:23
    capability we we'll see change
  • 00:12:25
    summarization we'll look at our sidebar
  • 00:12:27
    chat summary and all the value that it
  • 00:12:29
    delivers and then uh We've ENC enhanced
  • 00:12:32
    our knowledge article gener
  • 00:12:33
    knowledge-based generation capability to
  • 00:12:36
    instead of being driven from a single
  • 00:12:37
    incident it can um employ multiple
  • 00:12:41
    incidents to have the llm draft an
  • 00:12:43
    article um so let's get into
  • 00:12:50
    it okay I'm logged in as storm employee
  • 00:12:54
    right and he's uh sitting in employee
  • 00:12:56
    Center this is our uh employee facing
  • 00:12:58
    portal our front end for all employee
  • 00:13:00
    use cases uh this is EC Pro and we could
  • 00:13:04
    have a full session on the value of EC
  • 00:13:06
    Pro but I'm going to dig into some of
  • 00:13:07
    the capabilities and I'm going to start
  • 00:13:09
    with now assist and AI search and I'm
  • 00:13:11
    going to do this simple question around
  • 00:13:12
    how to connect to a VPN on iPhone this
  • 00:13:15
    is a capability that hasn't necessarily
  • 00:13:17
    been updated uh with xanadoo but want to
  • 00:13:20
    make sure that we're um you know
  • 00:13:22
    starting from a a common basis and one
  • 00:13:25
    of the things I really want to share
  • 00:13:26
    here that I may not have put in Prior
  • 00:13:28
    demonstrations is the fact that you know
  • 00:13:30
    I asked this question about um
  • 00:13:32
    connecting to a VPN on iPhone and it's
  • 00:13:35
    it's come up with this response from
  • 00:13:36
    this article around how to configure VPN
  • 00:13:38
    for Apple devices right and we'll take a
  • 00:13:41
    look at the article in in just a moment
  • 00:13:43
    but if we change this question to how to
  • 00:13:45
    enable VPN on a mat the retrieval
  • 00:13:48
    augmented generation architecture that
  • 00:13:51
    now assist employs um goes and finds an
  • 00:13:54
    answer to this question and it's from
  • 00:13:56
    the same article so rather than getting
  • 00:13:58
    an a summary that may or may not answer
  • 00:14:00
    the question we're able to go in and
  • 00:14:03
    um uh see where did my article go how to
  • 00:14:08
    so I'm going to just take a quick look
  • 00:14:10
    at this article to give you an idea we
  • 00:14:12
    looked at how to configure VPN for
  • 00:14:14
    iPhone we've got that content here then
  • 00:14:16
    we changed the question to Mac and it
  • 00:14:18
    and it summarizes this again um so
  • 00:14:21
    really just uh trying to highlight the
  • 00:14:22
    value and in the the benefit to
  • 00:14:25
    customers the the improved experience
  • 00:14:27
    for your requesters that they'll get
  • 00:14:29
    um you know from the content that you've
  • 00:14:31
    got uh uh
  • 00:14:33
    inous um let's see here next up I'm
  • 00:14:36
    going to uh move over to Virtual agent
  • 00:14:37
    and I'm going to ask a similar question
  • 00:14:39
    about
  • 00:14:40
    um
  • 00:14:42
    uh can I
  • 00:14:45
    expend WiFi on a
  • 00:14:53
    plane all right and here virtual agent
  • 00:14:57
    is responding we're going to cycle
  • 00:14:59
    through the carousel here and we see
  • 00:15:01
    this answer that's provided that really
  • 00:15:03
    indicates you know based on we can even
  • 00:15:05
    see the source yes indeed a wi Wi-Fi
  • 00:15:09
    expense can can be Wi-Fi can be expensed
  • 00:15:13
    um when you're on a plane and if we
  • 00:15:14
    wanted to go ahead and click into this
  • 00:15:15
    this is going to open up in a new tab in
  • 00:15:17
    this particular configuration but it's
  • 00:15:20
    going to bring up this policy that's got
  • 00:15:22
    the content here that speaks to um WiFi
  • 00:15:26
    can be expensed so a lot of value
  • 00:15:29
    delivered for uh the organization as
  • 00:15:32
    well and just a self-served and and a
  • 00:15:34
    good experience um okay we're going to
  • 00:15:37
    reset this
  • 00:15:38
    conversation
  • 00:15:39
    and uh we're GNA follow through an outof
  • 00:15:43
    the-box llm power topic experience so in
  • 00:15:47
    this case the storm needs to reset his
  • 00:15:49
    inra ID password he he's unfortunately
  • 00:15:52
    gotten locked out ENT ID and in this
  • 00:15:55
    case virtual agent has responded um with
  • 00:15:58
    this uh out of the box LL empowered
  • 00:16:00
    topic and we've already um got some
  • 00:16:02
    questions and answers that um Storm's
  • 00:16:05
    going to be able to respond to uh to
  • 00:16:07
    authenticate in and and get this
  • 00:16:10
    uh password
  • 00:16:14
    reset so just a few questions and this
  • 00:16:17
    authentication method is sort of
  • 00:16:18
    arbitrary we have a handful Jason maybe
  • 00:16:21
    you can speak to this uh in terms of how
  • 00:16:23
    we can um leverage this topic and and
  • 00:16:26
    talk to the authentication methods
  • 00:16:27
    perhaps you can see here by the way the
  • 00:16:29
    result is that the passwords um uh
  • 00:16:33
    instructions are being sent via email so
  • 00:16:35
    a nice quick response where uh AEL is
  • 00:16:38
    able to or sorry storm is able to selfs
  • 00:16:39
    serve yeah and just to just to add to
  • 00:16:42
    what Jeff mentioned um this this
  • 00:16:44
    particular topic flow is layering on top
  • 00:16:47
    of our existing password reset solution
  • 00:16:50
    so if you're using service now password
  • 00:16:52
    reset for inter uh local credentials as
  • 00:16:56
    well as even um as you can see in this
  • 00:16:59
    example ENT ID so the old uh the new
  • 00:17:01
    name for the Azure active directory or
  • 00:17:04
    on Prem ad those can all be sources or
  • 00:17:08
    credential stores that can be used to
  • 00:17:10
    reset as part of the solution as you go
  • 00:17:12
    through the types of configurations
  • 00:17:14
    there's verifications in the case of
  • 00:17:16
    this demo we're showing just simple Q&A
  • 00:17:19
    but you can leverage things like SMS um
  • 00:17:22
    authenticator codes um even custom
  • 00:17:25
    authentication types as part of that
  • 00:17:27
    experience and also depending on the
  • 00:17:29
    type of verifications you have it could
  • 00:17:31
    be trying to email or SMS you or you
  • 00:17:34
    could actually change the password in
  • 00:17:36
    line of the virtual agent
  • 00:17:39
    experience thanks Jason okay so moving
  • 00:17:42
    on I want to show um how Now assistant
  • 00:17:45
    virtual agent makes catalog items
  • 00:17:48
    conversational uh this can really help
  • 00:17:51
    uh address items for deliver an enduser
  • 00:17:54
    experience it's a lot more U palatable
  • 00:17:57
    for for your customers for your end
  • 00:17:59
    users and requesters so I'm going to uh
  • 00:18:01
    initiate a new um topic flow and
  • 00:18:04
    basically what we're going to do is um
  • 00:18:06
    complete this service catalog item
  • 00:18:10
    conversationally um so just a simple
  • 00:18:12
    example uh we like to go through this
  • 00:18:14
    one because it's just got a handful of
  • 00:18:16
    fields that are pretty easy to go
  • 00:18:18
    through now I've indicated in this um
  • 00:18:21
    utterance that I need Miro and the
  • 00:18:23
    reason why is for a product envisioning
  • 00:18:25
    session so virtual agent is coming back
  • 00:18:27
    and it's correctly you know identified
  • 00:18:29
    the item that I'm looking to request and
  • 00:18:31
    verifying this first question that it is
  • 00:18:33
    indeed for
  • 00:18:37
    storm and it you you'll not it didn't
  • 00:18:40
    ask me for the business justification so
  • 00:18:41
    I'm going to go ahead and respond to the
  • 00:18:43
    next question indicating that I'm on the
  • 00:18:45
    product team and you can see here that
  • 00:18:46
    under business justification it's it's
  • 00:18:49
    captured what I um indicated initially
  • 00:18:52
    so just like that it's developed a
  • 00:18:54
    correct response I can go through and
  • 00:18:56
    conversationally make adjustments if NE
  • 00:18:58
    necessary but for expediency I'll submit
  • 00:19:01
    it and just like that we've got a
  • 00:19:03
    request that's been completed using Now
  • 00:19:05
    assistant virtual agent um Okay so we've
  • 00:19:09
    gone through we've done some searching
  • 00:19:11
    we've looked at password uh
  • 00:19:15
    reset and we've done this catalog item
  • 00:19:17
    so I'm
  • 00:19:22
    gonna start one more topic and uh we're
  • 00:19:26
    going to transition into the agent face
  • 00:19:28
    capabilities at this point so I'm going
  • 00:19:30
    to trigger a case through virtual agent
  • 00:19:34
    uh and in this instance we're going to
  • 00:19:36
    say that Zoom isn't working for storm so
  • 00:19:38
    he just comes in and says Zoom zoom's
  • 00:19:41
    not working for
  • 00:19:43
    him all right and virtual agent is going
  • 00:19:45
    to come back with a handful of catalog
  • 00:19:47
    items and suggestions that may address
  • 00:19:50
    uh what's happening in Zoom none of that
  • 00:19:52
    really seems to
  • 00:19:54
    work and similarly these other items
  • 00:19:56
    aren't working either we've got this
  • 00:19:58
    fallback
  • 00:19:59
    potential to create an incident but um
  • 00:20:01
    for our purposes I'm going to ask to
  • 00:20:04
    speak to a live
  • 00:20:09
    agent and again here's where we're
  • 00:20:11
    really going to get into a lot of the
  • 00:20:12
    the newer capabilities so uh here I'm
  • 00:20:16
    logged in as Lakme our analyst and she's
  • 00:20:19
    got this interaction request
  • 00:20:21
    [Music]
  • 00:20:22
    from one of the capabilities that we
  • 00:20:24
    talked about that was really cool was
  • 00:20:26
    this chat reply recommendation and it
  • 00:20:29
    and it's going to be um presented here
  • 00:20:31
    within the active chat you know I don't
  • 00:20:34
    want to bypass the fact that we've got
  • 00:20:36
    this chat summarization through anal
  • 00:20:37
    assist again your uh agents will enjoy
  • 00:20:41
    not having to scroll through an entire
  • 00:20:42
    transcript to see what's happened when
  • 00:20:45
    they can just look at the handful of
  • 00:20:47
    bullets that are provided um through
  • 00:20:49
    this uh summarization but what's really
  • 00:20:52
    cool here now
  • 00:20:54
    is um
  • 00:20:59
    I'm going to click on you can see this
  • 00:21:01
    sparkle icon and it allows you to either
  • 00:21:04
    elaborate or shorten this particular um
  • 00:21:07
    response so I'm going to click on
  • 00:21:09
    elaborate and Jason I'd really like your
  • 00:21:10
    input on here I know this is something
  • 00:21:12
    you worked on quite a
  • 00:21:17
    bit yeah and I think as you can see with
  • 00:21:20
    what Jeff is showing is it takes the
  • 00:21:23
    text that you have in the input there
  • 00:21:26
    and depending on if you choose elaborate
  • 00:21:28
    so if you've got a long text that can
  • 00:21:29
    obviously shorten it as well you also
  • 00:21:31
    have this refine option to to be able to
  • 00:21:35
    take what are the what are the responses
  • 00:21:37
    that are generated and change it up one
  • 00:21:39
    other thing that and maybe Jeff will
  • 00:21:40
    show this as well is you can actually
  • 00:21:43
    just have a clear text box where you
  • 00:21:47
    don't have any text at all and click the
  • 00:21:50
    sparkle icon and it will generate a
  • 00:21:53
    response or
  • 00:21:55
    recommendation uh reply recommendation
  • 00:21:57
    based on the current state of the chat
  • 00:21:59
    so if it's for example just being passed
  • 00:22:03
    from a virtual agent to an uh to a live
  • 00:22:05
    agent in this case laki it will know
  • 00:22:07
    that this is in essentially the greeting
  • 00:22:10
    phase and as part of that greeting phase
  • 00:22:12
    it'll synthesize a an appropriate
  • 00:22:15
    response based on that now as you get
  • 00:22:17
    into the different phases of this when
  • 00:22:21
    um the user specifies they have a
  • 00:22:24
    particular issue then you kind of enter
  • 00:22:26
    different stages like context Gathering
  • 00:22:29
    and it'll try to take similar chats or
  • 00:22:32
    interactions that have happened in the
  • 00:22:34
    past of of people that have the same
  • 00:22:37
    issue and as well as look at potential
  • 00:22:41
    knowledge bases that might be
  • 00:22:43
    appropriate responses or questions as
  • 00:22:45
    followup and you'll see some of that
  • 00:22:47
    experience happen as part of generating
  • 00:22:50
    that
  • 00:22:53
    response all right so we've gone through
  • 00:22:55
    and you've seen a little bit about how
  • 00:22:57
    the responses can be augmented without
  • 00:23:01
    the agent needing to type them in and it
  • 00:23:02
    provides a more consistent and
  • 00:23:04
    experience without the agent needing to
  • 00:23:06
    you know think and type uh specifically
  • 00:23:10
    um so at this point I'm going to go in
  • 00:23:12
    and and we're going to search for Zoom
  • 00:23:14
    within agent assist and see what
  • 00:23:16
    articles might come up to support lme as
  • 00:23:18
    she uh goes to investigate and she can
  • 00:23:21
    see right off that neither one of these
  • 00:23:23
    two articles are really going to provide
  • 00:23:24
    her uh what she needs so um
  • 00:23:40
    may or may not need to continue to to
  • 00:23:42
    use this every time but I'm G to bring
  • 00:23:44
    in an expert so it's really helping her
  • 00:23:46
    to communicate with um with storm and
  • 00:23:50
    from here we're going to go ahead and
  • 00:23:51
    create an incident and on
  • 00:24:01
    in this
  • 00:24:06
    chat right so you can see here again um
  • 00:24:09
    the llm has set up a short description
  • 00:24:12
    and a description that can of course be
  • 00:24:14
    edited uh as this incident was generated
  • 00:24:18
    and at this point lme is going to for
  • 00:24:21
    the purpose of our demo uh assign this
  • 00:24:23
    manually over to Able tutor or level
  • 00:24:28
    agent and you can see here that the U
  • 00:24:31
    work notes were automatically populated
  • 00:24:33
    by
  • 00:24:34
    analysis so we'll save
  • 00:24:38
    this all right so we've got our incident
  • 00:24:40
    and let's move on over to C AEL and
  • 00:24:44
    he sees this notification come in for
  • 00:24:46
    this new
  • 00:24:48
    incident it says Zoom is not working and
  • 00:24:52
    right away I I kind of skipped over this
  • 00:24:54
    but he's working on a major incident
  • 00:24:55
    that indicates multiple users are facing
  • 00:24:57
    issues with Zoom so he sees this new
  • 00:25:00
    incident come in and one of the first
  • 00:25:02
    things that Able's going to do is check
  • 00:25:04
    on recommended
  • 00:25:19
    actions all right so we see here that
  • 00:25:23
    nothing is coming up within the
  • 00:25:24
    recommended actions but we've got some
  • 00:25:26
    search items
  • 00:25:29
    and we've got analysis Q&A that come uh
  • 00:25:33
    promotes some some Zoom issues um Q&A uh
  • 00:25:38
    we see that there's other incidents as
  • 00:25:39
    well and even some potentially some
  • 00:25:42
    resolution notes now uh we could
  • 00:25:45
    potentially link these so if I want to
  • 00:25:47
    look into this incident it's going to
  • 00:25:49
    open right up in um service operations
  • 00:25:52
    workspace and we can dig into this one a
  • 00:25:54
    little bit more so this is another new
  • 00:25:57
    incident that doesn't have a whole lot
  • 00:26:00
    in it but another user Eliza that's
  • 00:26:02
    having a zoom issue so we're going to go
  • 00:26:05
    back into this incident I don't think it
  • 00:26:06
    makes sense to to link our incident as a
  • 00:26:08
    parent in this case but it could be what
  • 00:26:11
    uh is indeed useful for your um issue
  • 00:26:14
    and if we did want to resolve this issue
  • 00:26:17
    with this other one we see here that
  • 00:26:18
    Zoom is not working uh for for another
  • 00:26:22
    um issue that's come up in recommended
  • 00:26:24
    actions this is another resolved
  • 00:26:26
    incident where we see that that this
  • 00:26:29
    issue was resolved by updating uh the
  • 00:26:32
    the OS and changing the default web
  • 00:26:34
    browser uh which somehow worked so this
  • 00:26:38
    one might help as well but
  • 00:26:42
    uh here we are on the incident that we
  • 00:26:44
    had just created so there's a lot of
  • 00:26:46
    cool things that we can start to do
  • 00:26:48
    using recommended actions to uh support
  • 00:26:52
    this but I'm going to go back into this
  • 00:26:54
    major incident and it's got reference in
  • 00:26:57
    here to a particular change that's been
  • 00:27:00
    implemented and
  • 00:27:03
    so uh Abel is going to reach out to one
  • 00:27:05
    of the people in the change organization
  • 00:27:08
    that um one of the change managers that
  • 00:27:10
    he knows uh to talk about this in a
  • 00:27:12
    little bit more depth Oh and before he
  • 00:27:14
    does let's go ahead and look at the
  • 00:27:16
    analysis panel I saw this from the uh uh
  • 00:27:20
    uh survey so we're going to open up the
  • 00:27:23
    analysis panel and we're just going to
  • 00:27:25
    click on summarize a record right
  • 00:27:26
    because uh this is a major incident and
  • 00:27:30
    ael's been working on it but he wants to
  • 00:27:31
    see a little bit more detail about uh
  • 00:27:34
    what's in here and so when we leverage
  • 00:27:35
    analysis panel this is a conversational
  • 00:27:37
    interface for agents to start to
  • 00:27:39
    leverage where they can query now
  • 00:27:41
    assist Jason um I'm gonna go ahead and
  • 00:27:44
    ask another question here at the panel
  • 00:27:45
    but is there anything else you want to
  • 00:27:47
    add around nap yeah
  • 00:27:50
    the like what Jeff mentioned with the
  • 00:27:53
    analysis panel there's the ability to
  • 00:27:57
    add additional prompts like in this case
  • 00:27:59
    Jeff is showing hey you know this is a
  • 00:28:01
    pretty long description can you make it
  • 00:28:03
    shorter or can you add more details
  • 00:28:05
    things like that allow the agent a
  • 00:28:07
    little bit more flexibility in the
  • 00:28:09
    responses they're seeing so you saw some
  • 00:28:11
    of the in product experiences like
  • 00:28:13
    you're summarizing a record with that
  • 00:28:15
    summarized button you're um
  • 00:28:18
    generating re uh record summar record
  • 00:28:21
    summarizations during
  • 00:28:24
    reassignments um in those experiences
  • 00:28:27
    there's less flexibility in in what the
  • 00:28:29
    agent sees they they can edit the text
  • 00:28:32
    manually um but you don't have as much
  • 00:28:35
    control over the prompts that go into
  • 00:28:38
    the outputs so with analysis panel there
  • 00:28:41
    is the opportunity to take advantage of
  • 00:28:44
    that in summarization type use cases and
  • 00:28:47
    and if we start looking in the future we
  • 00:28:49
    expect to add more and more skills into
  • 00:28:51
    this nysis panel that can help agents
  • 00:28:54
    see things work work within this and I
  • 00:28:56
    know a lot of customers today you're not
  • 00:28:58
    necessarily working out of service
  • 00:29:00
    operations workspace so the nalysis
  • 00:29:02
    panel will exist in ui6 as well so a lot
  • 00:29:05
    of the capabilities that we've layered
  • 00:29:08
    into the service operations workspace
  • 00:29:10
    we'll try to surface that in the nalysis
  • 00:29:12
    panel so that you can take advantage of
  • 00:29:14
    some of some of the uh the goodies that
  • 00:29:17
    are part of s so in your ui6
  • 00:29:21
    experiences thanks Jason one of the
  • 00:29:24
    capabilities that we've launched a shoot
  • 00:29:26
    it's been a year plus ago I think was a
  • 00:29:28
    sidebar and so this is an internal
  • 00:29:30
    collaborative chat capability um that
  • 00:29:33
    can be used uh between uh service now
  • 00:29:36
    users and it also does have an
  • 00:29:38
    integration with Microsoft teams that
  • 00:29:40
    would enable an agent to interact with a
  • 00:29:43
    requestor who is in teams but in this
  • 00:29:46
    case we're going to work with the change
  • 00:29:47
    manager and um and if I just if I might
  • 00:29:51
    just add a little bit more in sidebar um
  • 00:29:53
    Jeff painted a pretty good picture in
  • 00:29:55
    terms of being able to pull in experts
  • 00:29:56
    and he's going to pull and Cha an expert
  • 00:29:59
    here but if you if you kind of find in
  • 00:30:03
    your environments where your agents are
  • 00:30:06
    often ad hoc messaging subject matter
  • 00:30:09
    experts that they may happen to know um
  • 00:30:12
    in a different chat but not within
  • 00:30:15
    service now you'll know a lot of that
  • 00:30:16
    context gets lost right in the chat
  • 00:30:19
    unless the agent explicitly manually
  • 00:30:23
    types in or copies in that content into
  • 00:30:26
    the text and so what sidebar does is
  • 00:30:28
    help keep all of that information within
  • 00:30:32
    this actual record that's being worked
  • 00:30:35
    on and helps make sure that you can
  • 00:30:36
    choose pick and choose which items get
  • 00:30:39
    uploaded as part of that that so that
  • 00:30:42
    full context is maintained on the record
  • 00:30:45
    indeed thanks Jason so here we are um
  • 00:30:48
    chain logged in is Chang and she has
  • 00:30:52
    this sidebar chat and so you can see
  • 00:30:55
    here it was on Able's side as well we've
  • 00:30:57
    got a ref to the actual change and um so
  • 00:31:01
    Chang's going to go ahead and click on
  • 00:31:03
    this and see okay so it's going to bring
  • 00:31:05
    it right
  • 00:31:06
    up so all that we're going to do at this
  • 00:31:09
    point is this is where uh we're inside
  • 00:31:13
    of this change it's actually closed
  • 00:31:15
    change summarization is one of the
  • 00:31:17
    capabilities that we launched in um with
  • 00:31:19
    xanadoo in our August store release and
  • 00:31:23
    uh this is not the most uh depth I think
  • 00:31:25
    we could share it on it but in the
  • 00:31:26
    context of this demonstration ation
  • 00:31:28
    we're able to you know look at a close
  • 00:31:30
    change and if we want to know more
  • 00:31:32
    information about it we can actually
  • 00:31:35
    come in here and develop a summary this
  • 00:31:37
    is very similar to what we have for an
  • 00:31:38
    incident summary um and so if you can
  • 00:31:41
    imagine for new changes that are being
  • 00:31:43
    evaluated where uh managers or
  • 00:31:47
    stakeholders want to understand what the
  • 00:31:48
    objective a change of A Change Is or
  • 00:31:50
    what are the risks or what uh are the uh
  • 00:31:54
    configuration items that are being um
  • 00:31:56
    addressed with the change that can all
  • 00:31:58
    be reflected in the change summary and
  • 00:32:00
    help those managers and stakeholders uh
  • 00:32:03
    understand changes make a more informed
  • 00:32:05
    decision and and do it more quickly
  • 00:32:07
    without having to go through all the
  • 00:32:08
    detail that might be included in a
  • 00:32:09
    particular
  • 00:32:11
    request so I've gone ahead and copied
  • 00:32:13
    what was in this change summary and I'm
  • 00:32:15
    going to add it into the uh sidebar chat
  • 00:32:20
    and I'm just going to say here's a
  • 00:32:22
    summary of the
  • 00:32:24
    change right and this is going to be
  • 00:32:26
    communicated back able inside
  • 00:32:31
    bar and you can see that that's
  • 00:32:33
    reflected here so so great to what Jason
  • 00:32:36
    was speaking about so we've got this
  • 00:32:38
    sidebar chat we have this U this is now
  • 00:32:41
    we're still in the context of this major
  • 00:32:43
    incident so we did get out of the
  • 00:32:45
    original incident uh you could you could
  • 00:32:47
    have uh this could have been conducted
  • 00:32:49
    from either either one but there's this
  • 00:32:51
    capability now to summarize the chat so
  • 00:32:54
    I'm going to go ahead and do that
  • 00:32:59
    and the real value here is this can be
  • 00:33:01
    added to the work notes so if we want to
  • 00:33:03
    look at this again we've got a
  • 00:33:05
    relatively short you know summary of the
  • 00:33:08
    summary that uh is provided and if I go
  • 00:33:11
    ahead and click on share to work notes
  • 00:33:14
    I'm just going to add a note here that
  • 00:33:17
    chain shared this information about
  • 00:33:22
    change that will resolve the zoom issue
  • 00:33:30
    and I'm going to save this to workn
  • 00:33:32
    notes and there we have it and so as we
  • 00:33:35
    proceed with the generation of
  • 00:33:37
    resolution notes and the knowledge
  • 00:33:38
    articles this content will be uh
  • 00:33:41
    included and and um indexed in in that
  • 00:33:44
    um material so I'm going to go ahead and
  • 00:33:47
    close down the sidebar chat and uh we're
  • 00:33:50
    going to call this one resolved right it
  • 00:33:52
    does have reference to a user who was in
  • 00:33:54
    here so we you know the content maybe
  • 00:33:56
    could be a
  • 00:33:58
    um could have been edited a little bit
  • 00:34:00
    more but hopefully for the context of
  • 00:34:02
    the the demonstration this makes sense
  • 00:34:05
    so I'm going to just move to resolve
  • 00:34:07
    this major
  • 00:34:11
    incident and I'm going to say that it
  • 00:34:13
    has been resolved by a change and again
  • 00:34:17
    uh now assis generated these resolution
  • 00:34:19
    notes and this is a
  • 00:34:23
    indicating what was uh what the the
  • 00:34:26
    resolution based on all the content from
  • 00:34:28
    the incident itself so we'll go ahead
  • 00:34:29
    and resolve
  • 00:34:35
    this all
  • 00:34:39
    right okay so from this point I'm going
  • 00:34:42
    to go ahead and develop a knowledge
  • 00:34:43
    article and I want to share some of the
  • 00:34:46
    new capabilities we have around U
  • 00:34:49
    developing articles from multiple
  • 00:34:53
    incidents so this is similar to what
  • 00:34:55
    we've seen in our original uh uh
  • 00:34:57
    deployment of the knowledge article
  • 00:34:59
    generation capability we're going to go
  • 00:35:00
    ahead and move to draft this with now
  • 00:35:02
    assist but here we're able to see that
  • 00:35:05
    there's
  • 00:35:06
    multiple issue incidents that can be
  • 00:35:09
    referenced um these are similar
  • 00:35:11
    incidents um so we're going to select a
  • 00:35:14
    couple of those and the content that is
  • 00:35:16
    in these incidents will be uh included
  • 00:35:19
    with the original incident to draft the
  • 00:35:22
    article and I believe there's up there
  • 00:35:25
    are up to five incidents that can be um
  • 00:35:27
    included in this particular
  • 00:35:31
    article Jason anything to
  • 00:35:37
    add uh nothing nothing more other than
  • 00:35:40
    yeah having multiple incidents we see or
  • 00:35:43
    multiple records generating knowledge
  • 00:35:45
    articles is something we hear a lot
  • 00:35:47
    about um there's a lot of other
  • 00:35:48
    enhancements that we're looking at
  • 00:35:49
    knowledge in terms of just improving the
  • 00:35:51
    quality um eliminating duplicates those
  • 00:35:54
    type of things that are upcoming and
  • 00:35:56
    subsequent releases as well
  • 00:35:59
    thanks okay so I just modified the short
  • 00:36:02
    description here a little bit um in this
  • 00:36:04
    instance we're going to just
  • 00:36:07
    save and publish this article again it
  • 00:36:11
    can be edited uh you know your agents
  • 00:36:13
    may take more time or if you you have a
  • 00:36:15
    flow with your Knowledge Management
  • 00:36:17
    capability or um Knowledge Management
  • 00:36:19
    process where others would approve it
  • 00:36:21
    then it would follow that flow I think
  • 00:36:23
    what we're really Just sh sharing here
  • 00:36:25
    is that uh articles now are cre created
  • 00:36:28
    leveraging mult maybe created leveraging
  • 00:36:30
    multiple incidents um and if we go back
  • 00:36:33
    you know thinking about how to address
  • 00:36:35
    um shift left in terms of having our uh
  • 00:36:40
    original L1 agent um speak to this if we
  • 00:36:43
    come in here
  • 00:36:44
    now we see that the article that we just
  • 00:36:47
    published is available to the L1
  • 00:36:49
    agent and they're able to come in here
  • 00:36:51
    and if this question did come to them
  • 00:36:53
    they'd be able to look at it reference
  • 00:36:56
    the resolution steps here and uh uh not
  • 00:36:59
    need to escalate this to a L2 agent um
  • 00:37:02
    similarly this would be available to the
  • 00:37:05
    the um employee themselves uh within
  • 00:37:09
    employee Center so that if they asked
  • 00:37:11
    that original question then they would
  • 00:37:13
    get the same answer so let's see here
  • 00:37:15
    we're about 40 minutes in those are the
  • 00:37:18
    uh capabilities that I really wanted to
  • 00:37:20
    highlight for whoops uh this go round
  • 00:37:23
    again we looked at how we were able to
  • 00:37:25
    augment the agents uh interaction with
  • 00:37:29
    requesters using chat reply
  • 00:37:30
    recommendations we looked at the change
  • 00:37:32
    summarization if you'll recall where
  • 00:37:35
    Chang da went in and and summarized that
  • 00:37:37
    particular change um but this is
  • 00:37:39
    available at at any point and really
  • 00:37:41
    goes to um our service resiliency uh
  • 00:37:44
    capability that we're we're building out
  • 00:37:46
    we also did that sidebar chat and were
  • 00:37:48
    able to summarize that and post it into
  • 00:37:50
    the work notes really seamlessly so that
  • 00:37:52
    all that content was able to be included
  • 00:37:55
    in in the uh incident itself and then we
  • 00:37:57
    generated a knowledge article based on
  • 00:38:00
    multiple similar
  • 00:38:02
    incidents so I think with that um Jason
  • 00:38:06
    should we roll a poll
  • 00:38:09
    question yeah let me uh trigger a poll
  • 00:38:13
    question I'll go ahead and launch it all
  • 00:38:17
    right and
  • 00:38:19
    so we have a couple questions here one
  • 00:38:22
    is are you currently using chat as a
  • 00:38:25
    channel for your employee or requesters
  • 00:38:28
    to get it
  • 00:38:30
    assistance um and then if you are when
  • 00:38:34
    you're looking at how it agents are
  • 00:38:36
    responding to the requesters do they use
  • 00:38:41
    things like
  • 00:38:42
    templates for their chat or email
  • 00:38:45
    responses and if so what channels we
  • 00:38:48
    just want to get a sense for how these
  • 00:38:51
    capabilities layer on existing
  • 00:38:53
    experiences to
  • 00:38:54
    see what it's like for customers like
  • 00:38:58
    yourselves thanks Jason and for those of
  • 00:39:01
    you responding to the poll you may need
  • 00:39:03
    to scroll down to see the second
  • 00:39:04
    question it should show up in two
  • 00:39:06
    questions in a single
  • 00:39:12
    window we'll give it a little bit
  • 00:39:15
    more about
  • 00:39:25
    20 okay um we've got about 40% 45%
  • 00:39:29
    responding looks like a little bit over
  • 00:39:33
    half of you are
  • 00:39:35
    using chat as a channel which is great
  • 00:39:38
    to hear um for the folks that aren't
  • 00:39:41
    using chat as a
  • 00:39:44
    channel it'd be great if you maybe typed
  • 00:39:47
    into the chat in the webinar chat just
  • 00:39:49
    to give us a sense for what you're using
  • 00:39:53
    for chat or if you're using chat in
  • 00:39:55
    another system and maybe incidents are
  • 00:39:58
    being created on service now be great to
  • 00:40:00
    just better understand um
  • 00:40:03
    that and then
  • 00:40:05
    for the
  • 00:40:07
    templates um same thing for folks that
  • 00:40:10
    are um not using templates is it is it
  • 00:40:14
    because there's not a lot of
  • 00:40:17
    repeatable um chats or replies that
  • 00:40:20
    typically come about that you're not
  • 00:40:21
    using it just want to get a sense
  • 00:40:25
    for for how how templates are used in
  • 00:40:28
    your
  • 00:40:32
    organization okay all
  • 00:40:36
    right I'll go ahead and end this
  • 00:40:43
    poll all
  • 00:40:48
    right okay should we move on to our next
  • 00:40:53
    question yep let's go ahead and do that
  • 00:40:56
    all right so pull question number two we
  • 00:40:58
    just have three questions here folks so
  • 00:41:00
    just want to take a minute to really see
  • 00:41:02
    how these capabilities might
  • 00:41:06
    resonate so first one is for your
  • 00:41:08
    processes
  • 00:41:10
    today during your knowledge generation
  • 00:41:13
    are you reviewing information from
  • 00:41:14
    multiple incidents to create knowledge
  • 00:41:17
    um yes no not sure or if you have
  • 00:41:20
    different methods that you're creating
  • 00:41:22
    knowledge your approach is different
  • 00:41:24
    please feel free to drop in the chat why
  • 00:41:26
    or how you're doing it
  • 00:41:28
    and then from an understanding
  • 00:41:29
    perspective uh what's the biggest
  • 00:41:31
    challenge you find in creating knowledge
  • 00:41:33
    base um you know we've have a few
  • 00:41:35
    different options up here if none of
  • 00:41:38
    these are ones that resonate with the
  • 00:41:40
    issues that you have feel free to drop
  • 00:41:41
    in the chat we'd love to hear from
  • 00:41:48
    you Jason I see a hand up mind if we uh
  • 00:41:52
    take Nadia off mute and allow her to
  • 00:41:54
    talk sure all right
  • 00:42:00
    Nadia what's on your mind I think you're
  • 00:42:04
    able to come off mute Nadia if you want
  • 00:42:05
    to or you can type in the
  • 00:42:13
    chat yeah so you're you can talk you
  • 00:42:16
    just need to take unmute
  • 00:42:18
    yourself if you
  • 00:42:22
    wish and okay maybe that was inadvertent
  • 00:42:26
    Jason so maybe we should stick with the
  • 00:42:27
    poll for now all right sounds good yeah
  • 00:42:31
    I think Jeff um Sagar also had a
  • 00:42:34
    followup question I see Brian is typing
  • 00:42:36
    response to now oh you want to take it
  • 00:42:41
    live
  • 00:42:42
    oh I think it's in response
  • 00:42:46
    to um Jason's reply at the be a little
  • 00:42:50
    earlier so his initial question was how
  • 00:42:52
    does chat some work if the team if using
  • 00:42:54
    the teams integration
  • 00:42:57
    and then his followup question was how
  • 00:42:59
    does it leverage the team's chat history
  • 00:43:02
    with a team or individual for any
  • 00:43:06
    summarization yeah if I if I'm
  • 00:43:09
    understanding you correctly Sager it's
  • 00:43:11
    it doesn't you so if you've got an
  • 00:43:14
    existing conversational thread with that
  • 00:43:17
    user in the past like as an indiv as an
  • 00:43:20
    individual chat it's not leveraging any
  • 00:43:23
    of that previous um history now what it
  • 00:43:27
    you might not have seen this behind well
  • 00:43:29
    Jeff didn't show the the integration but
  • 00:43:32
    when you initiate I assume you're
  • 00:43:33
    talking about probably something like
  • 00:43:34
    sidebar but so there's two ways for the
  • 00:43:37
    teams communication one is the employee
  • 00:43:40
    is in teams and they're chatting with an
  • 00:43:43
    agent that's in the workspace so that
  • 00:43:45
    experience that's that's what I answered
  • 00:43:47
    in the first step which is that
  • 00:43:48
    experience is going to be pretty much
  • 00:43:51
    the same as what Jeff showed the agent
  • 00:43:52
    is going to see the chat panel on the
  • 00:43:55
    left side and they're going to see the
  • 00:43:56
    summarization
  • 00:43:57
    um there that none of that changes now
  • 00:44:00
    if you're referring to the cbar
  • 00:44:02
    capability which we also have a teams
  • 00:44:04
    integration for what it does is when
  • 00:44:07
    Jeff in this case had able reach out to
  • 00:44:11
    changda um if changda was sitting in
  • 00:44:14
    teams it actually initiates a special um
  • 00:44:18
    group chat with changda so it's kind of
  • 00:44:21
    a new entry and so as part of that new
  • 00:44:25
    entry obviously our system in the
  • 00:44:28
    sidebar would have full context of the
  • 00:44:30
    chat and so that's the historical um us
  • 00:44:33
    set it's using for the summarization
  • 00:44:35
    hopefully that answers your
  • 00:44:38
    question uh feel free to type more if
  • 00:44:41
    that's that's missing the Mark um okay
  • 00:44:44
    I'll go back to the poll real quick so
  • 00:44:46
    it looks like about a little over half
  • 00:44:49
    have answered it so you are using
  • 00:44:51
    multiple incidents um so that helps
  • 00:44:53
    validate what or at least a third are
  • 00:44:55
    using multiple in inid to create
  • 00:44:57
    knowledge articles which is what we hear
  • 00:44:59
    a lot from customers usually one article
  • 00:45:02
    or one incident is not enough to
  • 00:45:04
    generate the article um so that is
  • 00:45:06
    something that we are prioritizing in
  • 00:45:08
    terms of the capability and then um for
  • 00:45:13
    the biggest challenge is keeping
  • 00:45:16
    articles up to dat yes we do hear that
  • 00:45:18
    quite a bit uh I think that one of the
  • 00:45:22
    things that we want to continue to
  • 00:45:25
    iterate on from knowledge Bas is the
  • 00:45:27
    curation right I think knowledge gaps is
  • 00:45:30
    one thing we see a lot of but also just
  • 00:45:33
    keeping them up to date with the latest
  • 00:45:35
    information um there's a lot of stale
  • 00:45:37
    content that ends up sitting in the
  • 00:45:39
    knowledge base and if it's not um
  • 00:45:44
    groomed well then typically you have
  • 00:45:47
    articles that don't help in users they
  • 00:45:49
    don't help agents and um you end up with
  • 00:45:52
    clashes that just end up creating
  • 00:45:54
    incidents so knowledge manage from a
  • 00:45:58
    knowledge manager or man uh or an admin
  • 00:46:02
    perspective is is a lot of the things
  • 00:46:04
    that we're we're looking at so it's
  • 00:46:06
    helpful to see the context from the
  • 00:46:08
    folks here
  • 00:46:10
    thanks all right I will end that poll
  • 00:46:12
    and um do we want to dig into the last
  • 00:46:15
    one all right yeah yeah let's get to it
  • 00:46:17
    it's our last one all right so for the
  • 00:46:19
    last one we just want to understand um
  • 00:46:23
    today so obviously you've seen some
  • 00:46:25
    things like sidebar some capabilities
  • 00:46:27
    like that so how do your service desk
  • 00:46:30
    agents engage with smmes or other agents
  • 00:46:33
    when they need help to solve an issue uh
  • 00:46:35
    are they
  • 00:46:36
    using channels ad hoc like teams or
  • 00:46:40
    slack um are they using email are you
  • 00:46:43
    using service now sidebar today um maybe
  • 00:46:46
    sidebar is a new capability folks
  • 00:46:48
    weren't aware of until today um if you
  • 00:46:51
    have anything else potentially that
  • 00:46:54
    they're leveraging or other systems feel
  • 00:46:56
    free to write it in the
  • 00:46:58
    chat and then second how does important
  • 00:47:02
    information between agents and subject
  • 00:47:04
    matter experts or requesters get
  • 00:47:07
    included in the incident record um do
  • 00:47:10
    you find that this doesn't get into the
  • 00:47:12
    incident record at all is there a custom
  • 00:47:15
    job that potentially adds this content
  • 00:47:17
    to the records or do you go through that
  • 00:47:20
    manual process of having the agent copy
  • 00:47:22
    and paste that as best they can um if
  • 00:47:24
    you have other mechanisms um feel free
  • 00:47:26
    to write it in the chat as
  • 00:47:31
    well all right see a lot of teams looks
  • 00:47:34
    like that's the
  • 00:47:36
    overwhelming
  • 00:47:38
    majority so
  • 00:47:41
    far and then I see a lot of manual agent
  • 00:47:46
    copy and
  • 00:47:48
    pasting and this is this is what we're
  • 00:47:50
    hearing from many other customers as
  • 00:47:53
    well which is why we focused on a lot of
  • 00:47:56
    the capability on how do we bring record
  • 00:47:59
    and information back or sorry how do we
  • 00:48:01
    bring chat and other out of band context
  • 00:48:06
    back to the
  • 00:48:07
    record um I know a lot of times record
  • 00:48:10
    hygiene is is a concern so we're trying
  • 00:48:12
    to build better automated mechanisms to
  • 00:48:15
    bring that content into the records that
  • 00:48:18
    way it proves the incident quality so
  • 00:48:21
    that things like summarization things
  • 00:48:23
    like resolution notes can be more easily
  • 00:48:25
    generated um as you as you know with
  • 00:48:28
    generative AI the more content in the
  • 00:48:31
    record that's helpful becomes useful in
  • 00:48:35
    helping future agents solving similar
  • 00:48:38
    problems or even creating
  • 00:48:39
    knowledge-based articles which then feed
  • 00:48:41
    back into the self-service nature for
  • 00:48:46
    employees okay we've got about half
  • 00:48:48
    responses looks like it's it's staying
  • 00:48:50
    about that same Trend
  • 00:48:52
    so I think I can conclude this poll all
  • 00:48:56
    right thanks
  • 00:48:57
    Jason appreciate it okay let's uh moving
  • 00:49:00
