13 Feb, 2025

For years, businesses have relied on traditional automation powered by chatbots for answering FAQs, handling basic requests, and following pre-set workflows. However, these systems often need human help and can’t adapt to complex situations like product recalls. However, enterprise automation is evolving beyond these limitations, and AI Agents are set to redefine how businesses operate. As per data, IDC predicts that 50% of organizations will use AI-powered enterprise agents in 2025. Take the example of a common IT scenario like password reset. A traditional chatbot might guide an employee through steps with a password reset link or escalate the issue to IT. But an AI Agent can handle everything – verifying employee identity, updating credentials, and notifying stakeholders with minimal human involvement. This means faster resolution, stronger security, and less burden on IT teams. 

The future of enterprise automation isn’t about just answering queries – it’s about real autonomy. ServiceNow AI Agents are leading this shift, helping businesses streamline everything from routine tasks to complex workflows. However, adopting AI-driven automation requires the right strategy. As an Elite ServiceNow partner, Alcor helps businesses unlock AI Agent’s full potential. Before we dive deeper into this topic, let’s first understand: 

What are ServiceNow AI Agents and how do they work?  

ServiceNow AI Agents are more than just smart chatbots – they think, adapt, and act on their own. Instead of following rigid scripts, they analyze situations, make decisions, and execute the best course of action for faster, smarter results. 

Built on the ServiceNow Platform, these AI Agents automate workflows across the enterprise, from IT and HR to Customer Service and beyond. They come with built-in governance, analytics, and text-to-action capabilities, helping businesses boost productivity while staying aligned with their goals. 

Wondering how do they work? Three core components power their intelligence: 

  • ServiceNow Workflow Data Fabric gives AI Agents real-time data insights into an organization’s unique operations, helping them analyze and act instantly. 
  • Agentic Intelligence: AI-driven reasoning, planning, and learning enable these agents to work toward enterprise-wide goals. 
  • Automated Workflows: Pre-built and custom AI agents leverage the Now platform’s automated workflows to solve complex business challenges as they learn and evolve. 

 Key Agentic AI Innovations on the ServiceNow Platform 

  • AI Agent Studio is the command center for managing AI Agents. It lets users design, customize, test, and deploy custom AI agents for specific business scenarios – all through an intuitive, user-friendly interface. The platform guides users through designing, testing, and activating AI Agents for tailored use cases.
  • AI Agent Orchestrator takes automation to the next level. It enables multiple AI Agents to collaborate, much like human teams, to handle everything from simple tasks to complex workflows across departments. Even better, it ensures seamless coordination between native ServiceNow AI Agents and third-party AI systems, driving smarter, end-to-end automation. 

What makes ServiceNow AI Agents Special?  

  • Built on the Now platform, ServiceNow AI Agents tap into existing platform automations, data, and workflows from day one. This means no extra setup and disconnected systems while setting intelligent enterprise automation. 
  • Access to billions of data points and millions of automations across customer instances allows ServiceNow AI Agents to learn and adapt rapidly. 
  • A unified platform with a single data model ensures AI Agents deliver faster, smarter results across business processes. 

Alcor Helps You Drive Next-gen Automation with AI Agents 

Streamline IT Operations with Intelligent Automation 

IT teams are often overloaded with requests – software setups, troubleshooting, and password resets. These routine tasks slow down productivity. With Alcor’s Agentic AI automation, simple requests like granting software access or resolving system issues happen instantly, without waiting on IT support. Further, Agentic AI tools can predict problems before they occur, reducing downtime and improving efficiency. This means faster service, fewer interruptions, and IT teams focusing on bigger challenges rather than daily admin work. 

Deliver Superior Employee Experience 

HR teams juggle everything from onboarding to payroll, and manual processes make things slower than they should be. Agentic AI-powered automation from Alcor speeds up approvals for leave requests, benefits administration, and policy updates. For instance, in the case of AI-powered onboarding, new employees can get their accounts, access, and paperwork sorted quickly. This makes the entire employee experience smoother, ensuring HR teams can focus on people, culture, and workforce strategy instead of being buried in repetitive tasks. 

Drive Smarter, Faster Customer Service 

Handling customer issues like product recalls or refunds is time-consuming when done manually. Alcor’s AI Agent tools can instantly pull order details, verify refund policies, and process return requests autonomously. They can even send real-time updates to customers, ensuring a smooth experience with minimal delays. Businesses benefit from improved customer satisfaction, stronger brand loyalty, and reduced operational costs— while ensuring their service teams focus on more complex customer needs. 

 AI-Powered Finance & Supply Chain Management 

Handling finance and supply processes is a challenge in many aspects. There is a plethora of approvals, reports, and checks to be completed in line with compliance. Alcor’s AI Agent solutions can take care of the drudgery. They can automate invoices, process orders from suppliers, and speed up financial reporting. The outcome is fewer mistakes and better cash flow. AI Agents also allow companies to make more informed decisions, stay punctual, and handle purchases more conveniently. The outcome is no more time wasted in time-consuming procurement processes.
