What I like best is that the AI Agents run natively on the Now Platform, so they operate on the same governed data model and workflows we already trust. The agents have direct context from the CMDB, CSDM, and live records, which means they act on real platform state rather than a disconnected layer bolted on top. The AI Agent Orchestrator handling coordination across specialised agents is a big plus, and because everything stays inside the platform's existing RBAC, ACLs, and audit trail, governance and compliance are intact by default rather than being an afterthought. For regulated clients I work with, that combination of context, orchestration, and built-in guardrails is what makes the agents usable in production and not just in a demo.

More user friendly and security concernsThe main friction is cost predictability. Consumption runs on Assist units, and forecasting usage across a large agent deployment is hard before you see real production volumes, which makes budgeting conversations with finance teams difficult. Licensing is also a moving target. The shift to the Foundation, Advanced, and Prime tiers changed how entitlements map to AI capabilities, and keeping clients aligned on what they actually own versus what needs an upgrade takes real effort. Beyond cost, the agents are most effective when the underlying data foundation is mature. On clients with a weak CMDB or incomplete CSDM, the agents underperform and you end up doing foundational data cleanup first. Skill coverage out of the box is still uneven across non-ITSM workflows, so custom agent build effort is higher than the marketing suggests. Better native observability into why an agent made a given decision would also help in regulated environments where we need to defend that reasoning to auditors.
