ServiceNow launches Autonomous Workforce, a new category of AI specialists that execute end-to-end enterprise work with defined scope, authority, and built-in governance. The company also introduces ServiceNow EmployeeWorks, integrating Moveworks' conversational AI and enterprise search with ServiceNow's unified portal and autonomous workflows to turn natural language requests into governed, automated execution for nearly 200 million employees.

Quick Intel

  • Autonomous Workforce deploys AI specialists (e.g., Level 1 Service Desk AI Specialist) that autonomously handle complete jobs—diagnosing, resolving, and escalating when needed—using enterprise knowledge, historical data, and proactive workflows.
  • The first AI specialist, Level 1 Service Desk AI Specialist, resolves common IT requests (password resets, software provisioning, network troubleshooting) 24/7 and is in controlled availability now, with general availability expected Q2 2026.
  • ServiceNow EmployeeWorks combines Moveworks' conversational chat and deep enterprise search with ServiceNow's workflows, enabling natural language requests to trigger coordinated, multi-system actions with full governance and auditability.
  • Early internal results at ServiceNow show Autonomous Workforce handling 90%+ of employee IT requests, with the L1 Service Desk AI Specialist resolving cases 99% faster than human agents.
  • Platform unifies probabilistic AI intelligence with deterministic workflows via the ServiceNow AI Control Tower, ensuring traceability, security, compliance, and no hallucinations in mission-critical operations.
  • Moveworks remains available standalone or as an integrated component, offering flexibility for enterprise deployments.

ServiceNow positions its AI Platform as the unified control tower for business reinvention, contrasting it with fragmented, bolted-on AI features in disconnected SaaS applications. By combining intelligence, execution, and trust in one system, the platform enables AI to complete work—not just suggest it—while maintaining enterprise-grade governance.

Autonomous Workforce: AI Teammates with Real Authority

Unlike task-specific AI agents, Autonomous Workforce orchestrates teams of AI specialists assigned defined roles. These specialists follow organizational processes, learn from outcomes and feedback, and improve continuously. They operate alongside humans, escalating complex issues while handling routine-to-moderate work autonomously.

The initial offering, the Level 1 Service Desk AI Specialist, autonomously manages high-volume IT support tickets end-to-end. It draws on enterprise knowledge bases, incident history, and remediation workflows to deliver 24/7 resolution with clear handoffs when human expertise is required.

"Businesses don't need more pilots or promises. They need AI that gets work done," said Amit Zavery, president, chief product officer, and chief operating officer, ServiceNow. "The leaders realizing value from AI are investing in platforms where intelligence, execution, and trust work as one system. Our platform was purpose-built for this moment. Autonomous Workforce augments human teams with AI specialists that operate with the scope, authority, and governance enterprise work demands. This is a new era of productivity and ROI, at scale.”

ServiceNow EmployeeWorks: Conversational Front Door to Execution

ServiceNow EmployeeWorks serves as the consumer-like entry point for employees, available in Teams, Slack, browsers, or the ServiceNow portal. It leverages Moveworks' natural language understanding and enterprise search to interpret intent, then orchestrates autonomous workflows across systems to complete requests while enforcing approvals, authorizations, and compliance.

"ServiceNow EmployeeWorks is one of the first AI front doors that doesn't just summarize, it completes the work," said Bhavin Shah, senior vice president and general manager of Moveworks and AI for ServiceNow. “Moveworks proves that when AI solves real problems elegantly, people use it. Combined with ServiceNow's 20+-year foundation in workflow automation, we deliver consumer simplicity with enterprise reliability, including the operational guarantees that mission-critical work demands."

Customer Validation and Real-World Impact

Major organizations are already experiencing benefits:

  • CVS Health uses the platform to automate repetitive tasks for 300,000 colleagues while maintaining compliance and security in healthcare.
  • City of Raleigh leverages Now Assist to resolve 98% of initial IT touchpoints and anticipates further transformation with Autonomous Workforce.
  • Siemens Healthineers reports its Moveworks-based AI Assistant 'Ada' saves 5,000 hours monthly with 91% satisfaction; EmployeeWorks extends this with full task completion.
  • UKG has live agentic use cases for 15,000 employees and is expanding toward enterprise-wide orchestration.
