Configure skills with custom prompts for knowledge article templates

Now Assist in Knowledge Management has extended the out-of-box (OOB) KB generation skill to create custom prompts for OOB and custom knowledge article templates.

Before you begin

In the form configuration of the article record, admin must check for the availability of Knowledge Gen AI Message and Knowledge Now Assist Modal. For OOB configurations, they are automatically added to the form view configurator. However, for customized configurations, the admin must add them manually. To do so, navigate to the form layout from the header of the knowledge article (kb_knowledge.do) and add them from Available list to the Selected list and save. Navigate to Cache (cache.do) and clear cache.

Role required: sn_skill_builder.admin, sn_nowassist_admin.nsa_admin
