ServiceNow Virtual Agent has reduced the time from ten minutes to a maximum of two to three minutes, and the biggest factor that has changed is the whole turnaround time has come down from nearly five to six to seven minutes, which is a lot in the IT industry when you save time.

First and foremost, I do not have to focus too much on development, as it is an already ready-made offering that I can use and develop, and the LLM is quite mature and intelligent to provide answers, so the implementation time is also not too high and the results are good.

For me, it's very valuable that many of the IT solutions that normally service desk agents provide and that take a lot of their time can be done. For example, password reset normally takes a lot of time for service desk agents, and that is something that can be very easily automated so that they can focus on something that adds more value. Password reset or helping with password reset looks simple, and maybe naive, but it takes a significant amount of time for service desk agents. That is something that helps a lot.

The ITSM topics were valuable. They reduced service desk usage and freed agents. They saved 40% to 50% of the time, and the agents were able to do other tasks instead of just replying to customers, replying to their emails, or logging the incidents themselves. That percentage of work was now done directly by end-users who were also happy because they were able to get the query response within seconds instead of waiting in a queue or waiting for an agent to reply.

What's best about ServiceNow Virtual Agent is easy implementation. It's a drag-and-drop process where you can set up a chatbot over the UI. I like that ServiceNow Virtual Agent is a low-code solution. For ServiceNow Virtual Agent integration, you'll only need to write short lines of code, so that's easier. As ServiceNow Virtual Agent is under ServiceNow, it's easy to raise an incident, look for a knowledge base article, etc., so this is another pro of the solution.

The only concern about ServiceNow Virtual Agent is that it helps in the notification, but in most companies, employees do not always work on ServiceNow.

ServiceNow Virtual Agent can definitely be improved. ServiceNow has already deployed Now Assist, which is the higher version of ServiceNow Virtual Agent.

They can help the developers with ready-made structures or JavaScript structures or topics that can be integrated into the basic package. That would help a lot.

There were occurrences where the machine was not recognizing the topic correctly and not routing the users to the correct topic. It was specifically related to the Spanish language.

Right now, out of the box, ServiceNow Virtual Agent has no natural language conversion. You can't convert from one language to another. If that functionality were available in ServiceNow Virtual Agent, that would make the solution better and easier for users. For example, if a user is typing in Chinese and the service desk staff is using Hindi, there should be a dynamic conversion of the languages, so there'd be good and accurate communication between the end user and the service desk team. The additional feature I'd like ServiceNow Virtual Agent to have in its next release is language conversion because that's where it's lagging. It's one of the most critical features that clients ask for. I'm in a consulting firm, and I'm helping people implement ServiceNow Virtual Agent. As a consultant, people often ask me this question: "How do you remove the language barrier?"
