Microsoft Copilot and ServiceNow AI agent
collaboration will bring together two leading AI offerings to drive
maximum value across every corner of a business
ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), the AI platform for business
transformation, today announced an expanded strategic alliance with
Microsoft to modernize front-office business processes with Copilot
and agents.
The news builds on years of partnership bringing new advanced
cloud and AI capabilities to customers in their flow of work. Most
recently, both companies introduced ServiceNow Now Assist and
Microsoft 365 Copilot integration which streamlines workflows and
enables self-service capabilities within Microsoft applications.
Initial use cases include employee and IT scenarios where employees
working in Microsoft Teams can use Copilot to search the ServiceNow
knowledge base, request service catalog items through a guided,
conversational experience, and ask to chat with a live agent when a
case needs to be escalated. Now Assist provides employees with
responses to questions as well as recommended actions and next
steps in a conversational manner based on domain knowledge of the
enterprise and awareness of the user’s context and organizational
data from Microsoft 365 chats, email, calendar, and files.
AI-enhanced products and services are rapidly becoming a central
theme for C-suite executives looking to digitally transform their
businesses. With this expanded partnership, ServiceNow and
Microsoft will advance their vision to reimagine the front-office
with a Microsoft Copilot and ServiceNow AI agent collaboration that
leverages the unique strengths of both platforms. Guided by strong
governance and human oversight, these front-end agents will solve
customer problems in Copilot to seamlessly connect back-end
workflows. Copilot will streamline user tasks through intelligent
automation, while ServiceNow AI agents orchestrate workflows,
providing real-time responses to complex issues, ultimately
collaborating to execute tasks on behalf of employees.
As AI transforms every corner of work, customers are migrating
from legacy systems of record. Together, Microsoft and ServiceNow
are innovating to help customers drive maximum value with GenAI,
including through a new shared initiative to modernize their
front-office. With this joint commitment, customers will benefit
from customizable, interoperable solution offerings spanning
ServiceNow and Microsoft products, which move customers to AI-first
business processes across the enterprise.
“A strong partnership between ServiceNow and Microsoft means
customers gain the best of both worlds: seamless, secure, and smart
workflows,” said Jon Sigler, senior vice president, Platform and AI
at ServiceNow. “By combining our strengths, we're enabling
organizations to harness AI and automation in ways that
fundamentally change how they work—reducing complexity, driving
productivity, and helping teams move faster. This partnership isn’t
just about technology; it's about setting customers up for
long-term success in a digital world.”
“With Copilot as the user interface for AI, we're ushering in a
new ecosystem of AI agents that allow for increased
interoperability with partners like ServiceNow,” said Charles
Lamanna, Corporate Vice President, Business & Industry Copilot,
Microsoft. “Our strong partnership and shared vision with
ServiceNow provides an opportunity to help customers transform
their business processes with Copilot and agents.”
