AI Customer Support with ServiceNow
ServiceNow is the platform of record for enterprise IT service management and customer service management. The challenge for ServiceNow teams is the same as for any large support org: a long tail of repetitive incidents and cases that follow the same pattern.
Minimal AI plugs into ServiceNow and resolves those tickets autonomously. The AI reads incidents and CSM cases, queries the CMDB and Knowledge base, and posts work notes or customer-facing comments directly inside the ticket.
Connecting is effortless. The AI Manager sets everything up for you in minutes - no developers, no complex configuration.
What ServiceNow does
ServiceNow is an enterprise platform for IT Service Management (ITSM) and Customer Service Management (CSM), among other workflows. It centralizes incidents, cases, change requests, problems, the CMDB, knowledge articles, SLAs, and assignment groups. The ServiceNow Table API and Now Platform REST APIs allow external systems to read and write any record (incident, case, knowledge article, related table) within the user's role-based permissions.
