ServiceNow launches Autonomous Workforce

ServiceNow has launched Autonomous Workforce, AI specialists that can execute jobs with the scope, authority, and governance required for enterprise work – freeing people to focus on strategic problem solving and personalized service. Just two months after the Moveworks acquisition close, the company also introduced ServiceNow EmployeeWorks, which combines Moveworks’ conversational AI and enterprise search with ServiceNow’s unified portal and autonomous workflows to turn natural language requests into governed, end-to-end execution for nearly 200 million employees.

As enterprises evaluate AI platforms, two competing paradigms have emerged: feature-function AI bolted onto disconnected SaaS apps, and unified platforms that execute work through proven enterprise workflows with AI built in. The difference is fundamental: the feature approach requires enterprises to maintain, integrate, and manage the complexity themselves. ServiceNow eliminates the complexity by unifying conversational AI, workflows, enterprise data, security, and governance on a platform purpose-built for mission-critical operations.

“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.”

Autonomous Workforce: AI teammates execute jobs in partnership with people
ServiceNow’s Autonomous Workforce deploys AI specialists with defined roles to augment teams.

Unlike AI agents that complete individual tasks, the ServiceNow Autonomous Workforce orchestrates teams of AI specialists with roles such as a Level 1 Service Desk AI Specialist, Employee Service Agent, or Security Operations Analyst to execute work from start to finish. They work alongside humans, follow established processes and policies set by the organization, learn from outcomes and employee feedback, and importantly, improve over time.

Today, ServiceNow is introducing the first AI specialist available out-of-the-box for customers, a Level 1 Service Desk AI Specialist. This AI specialist autonomously diagnoses and resolves common IT support requests end-to-end — password resets, software access provisioning, network troubleshooting — using enterprise knowledge bases, historical incident data, and proactive remediation workflows. It is designed to operate 24/7 with assignments aligned to specific skillsets and deliverables and escalate issues when human intervention is needed.

At ServiceNow, our Autonomous Workforce is handling 90%+ of employee IT requests. Early results show our newest AI specialist, the L1 Service Desk AI Specialist, is already resolving assigned IT cases autonomously, and it’s 99% faster than when these cases are handled by human agents.

AI models without workflows are probabilistic — they see patterns, form ideas, and give different answers for the same questions. The enterprise, however, needs deterministic outcomes — governance, security, auditability, and operations that don’t hallucinate. Because ServiceNow combines probabilistic intelligence with deterministic workflow orchestration, AI specialists can interpret a request, decide the right action using business context, and execute autonomously across systems with governance built in through the ServiceNow AI Control Tower. Every action is traceable and governed by policies embedded in the workflow layer itself.

ServiceNow EmployeeWorks: Consumer AI experiences meet enterprise-grade execution
ServiceNow is bringing the power of Moveworks to the ServiceNow AI Platform and delivering immediate value to customers with ServiceNow EmployeeWorks, a conversational front door for the enterprise. Available where employees already work and collaborate – whether in Teams, Slack, or on any browser – ServiceNow EmployeeWorks connects Moveworks’ conversational AI chat and deep enterprise search with ServiceNow’s unified portal and autonomous workflows, turning intent into coordinated action across systems.

The platform understands organizational structure, approvals, and authorization — executing tasks that require multi-system coordination while maintaining governance and audit trails.

“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.”

SambaNova Unveils SN50 Chip, Partners with Intel and Raises $350M to Accelerate Agentic AI

SambaNova has introduced its new SN50 AI chip, a processor the company claims delivers five times the speed of competing accelerators and is engineered specifically for large‑scale, low‑latency agentic AI. The launch coincides with a planned multi‑year collaboration with Intel and more than $350 million in new Series E funding, marking one of the company’s most significant expansion moves to date.

The SN50 is positioned as SambaNova’s most efficient inference chip yet, offering enterprises a three‑times lower total cost of ownership. It provides five times more compute per accelerator and four times more network bandwidth than the previous generation, while supporting clusters of up to 256 accelerators connected through a multi‑terabyte‑per‑second fabric. This architecture reduces time‑to‑first‑token, enables larger batch sizes, and supports models exceeding 10 trillion parameters with context windows above 10 million tokens. SambaNova says these capabilities allow enterprises to deploy larger, more responsive AI systems while keeping latency and operating costs under control. The chip is expected to ship later this year.

“AI is no longer a contest to build the biggest model,” said Rodrigo Liang, co‑founder and CEO of SambaNova. “With the SN50 and our deep collaboration with Intel, the real race is about who can light up entire data centers with AI agents that answer instantly, never stall, and do it at a cost that turns AI from an experiment into the most profitable engine in the cloud.”

SambaNova and Intel plan to jointly develop high‑performance, cost‑efficient AI inference solutions for enterprises, governments, and AI‑native companies. Intel also intends to make a strategic investment in SambaNova as part of the collaboration. The partnership will focus on expanding SambaNova’s AI cloud built on Intel Xeon‑based infrastructure, integrating Intel CPUs, accelerators, and networking with SambaNova systems, and executing joint go‑to‑market efforts through Intel’s global channels. The companies aim to offer a strong alternative to GPU‑centric architectures and shape the next generation of heterogeneous AI data centers.

SoftBank Corp. will be the first customer to deploy the SN50 in its next‑generation AI data centers in Japan. The chip will power low‑latency inference services for sovereign and enterprise customers across the Asia‑Pacific region, supporting both open‑source and proprietary frontier models. SoftBank already hosts SambaCloud for regional developers, and the new SN50‑based clusters will serve as the backbone for its sovereign AI initiatives and future agentic services.

SambaNova’s $350 million Series E round was led by Vista Equity Partners and Cambium Capital, with participation from Intel Capital and a wide group of global investors. Several backers highlighted the SN50’s ability to meet real‑world latency and economic requirements for agentic AI, offering a more efficient alternative to traditional GPU‑based systems. The company plans to use the new funding to expand SN50 production, scale its cloud platform, and deepen enterprise software integrations.
