The Now Platform helps customers deploy the LLM that best fits their unique needs, and incorporating watsonx models will help customers create more intuitive, efficient, and seamless experiences,” CJ Desai, president and chief operating officer at ServiceNow, said.

ServiceNow is adding watsonx to a portfolio of various models powering Now Assist capabilities. By incorporating the watsonx.ai and IBM Granite models into Now Assist, businesses have another option for building and scaling responsible GenAI applications using enterprise-relevant data.
