Use agentic AI for the OT Manager Foundation
Use the Operational Technology (OT) Manager Foundation AI agent within an agentic workflow to complete tasks autonomously.
| Agentic workflow name | Description | Available AI agents |
|---|---|---|
| Import OT device spreadsheet into OT CMDB | With the Import OT device spreadsheet into OT CMDB agentic workflow, you can do the following:- Import the device inventory spreadsheet and map data to the OT staging table - Validate OT staging table records, remediate invalid records, and import all validated records into the Configuration Management Database \(CMDB\) | OT Excel import task AI agent |
Important: Some generative AI skills, AI agents, and agentic workflows are turned on by default. For more information, see Now Assist skills, agents, and agentic workflows on by default.
Supported Large Language Models
Note:
You can use Now LLM Service, Azure OpenAI, Google Gemini or Anthropic Claude on AWS as the AI model provider for all generative AI skills and AI agents. Use the Configuration Controls in AI Control Tower to define which options are available, then set the skill-level preferences in the Now Assist Admin console. For more information, see Large language models on the ServiceNow AI Platform®.
Security implementation considerations
Enable security implementation to execute AI agents and agentic workflows through Access Control Lists (ACLs) and user identities. For more information, see Implement access control in Now Assist AI agents
Considerations for running the autonomous AI agents
Important: By default, all agent workflow and AI agent records are read-only.
To run the AI agents autonomously, you must first duplicate the agentic workflow, and then proceed with the following steps:
- Activate the agentic workflow.
- Activate all agents within the agentic workflow.
- Activate the trigger to invoke the agentic workflow automatically. The triggers for each agentic workflow must be unique. If you prefer to invoke it manually, activating the trigger isn’t necessary.
Standalone AI agents
There might be AI agents installed with the Now Assist application that are not used in agentic workflows. To learn how to see all agents that are available to you, see Find AI agents.
Role masking
Agentic workflows and their AI agents use role masking to determine which users can access them. Ones installed with Now Assist applications have specific roles that come included with the application. If you select Users with specific roles for user access, you must configure the security controls to include these roles. For the instructions to change the security controls, see Define security controls for an agentic workflow.
- Import the OT device spreadsheet into OT CMDB agentic workflow
Use the Import OT device spreadsheet into OT CMDB agentic workflow to automate the upload, validation, and import of your OT device data into the OT CMDB.
