Connect your assistant

ServiceNow can expose its data and actions to an external assistant through its APIs, under ServiceNow roles.

Big Bang uses dedicated integration users with the minimum roles needed.
AI Control Tower keeps track of the agents and models in use.

Where the Curation Layer fits

In ServiceNow, the Metric Registry is stored in a custom table, governed by ServiceNow roles.

Each service metric links to the indicator or report that computes it, with its owner and validation date.
In hosted mode, service metrics combine with finance data, for example cost to serve.

FAQ

What is the difference between Now Assist and AI Agents?

Now Assist adds generative AI to existing steps, such as summarizing a case. AI Agents carry out multi-step tasks on their own, within the rules you set.

What does AI Control Tower do?

AI Control Tower gives one view to govern AI models and agents, including some built outside ServiceNow. Big Bang uses it to document what is deployed and who owns it.

Does Big Bang implement ServiceNow?

Yes. Big Bang implements, rescues and supports ServiceNow, and activates its AI as part of the same work.
