An IT leader shares how a ServiceNow AI agent cut catalog development costs, sped trend analysis and tightened license management.
In a VentureBeat guest post, an IT leader describes building a Digital Worker agent for ServiceNow, moving from browser automation to MCP with a custom multi-LLM harness.
The agent learned organizational standards through SKILL.md files, uses OAuth and RBAC, and requires human approval for every write.
Piloted with a four-person ITSM team, catalog building is expected to cut development costs by 80% and free 25% of capacity, incident trend analysis shrank from hours to 15-minute conversations, and role usage data helps curb license over-allocation.
