Foundation is the entry point into ServiceNow's AI-native ITSM experience, designed to give requesters faster answers and fulfillers a head start on every case. It delivers out-of-the-box GenAI skills and AI Agents that help your team work smarter — not replace them. On the requester side, Moveworks deflects requests at the point of ask before anything reaches the service desk, surfacing answers from 25K+ indexed knowledge articles and resolving requests through natural language across Slack, Teams, and web. On the fulfiller side, Now Assist speeds up resolution from the moment a case is created — summarizing incidents so agents start with full context, and cutting triage time with AI that suggests next steps and routes work automatically. Core capabilities include summarization, pattern recognition, categorization, and task-based assistance.
