Workforce transformation is a top priority for every CEO. The question is no longer if AI agents will change work鈥攂ut how. According to a Gartner庐 survey, 鈥淣early all CEOs (
鈥淎I isn鈥檛 just reshaping how we work, it鈥檚 redefining what it takes to win. This moment requires bold investment in our people and a shared commitment to learn, adapt, and lead in new ways,鈥� said Jacqui Canney, chief people and AI enablement officer at ServiceNow. 鈥淲hen we design work with AI and put people at the center, we create momentum that drives real business impact."
The future of work is human, with AI agents working side-by-side
An agentic workforce is a collective of highly skilled, orchestrated AI agents that autonomously accomplish work in support of a larger goal. ServiceNow stands out for its single-platform model: unlike others whose agents are task-oriented and can only take action in silos, ServiceNow鈥檚 single architecture, single data model platform applies agentic AI across the enterprise so work happens autonomously in every corner of the business.
With the ServiceNow AI platform, an agentic workforce can learn from past experiences how to handle new tasks, always keeping within the guidelines and frameworks established by people.
In just a few months, the agentic workforce has transformed beyond bots that augment pieces or parts of a job to autonomous teams capable of collaborating, learning, accepting feedback, and even growing their capabilities with oversight and partnership from their human managers. For example, at ServiceNow an agentic workforce in IT operations and security resolves service tickets, applies system patches, and provides daily summaries to human managers. In addition, an agentic workforce manages software deployment like executing installations, upgrades, and configurations, ensuring smooth implementation, and resolving any issues that arise for continuous improvement.

80% of complex instance administration and maintenance cases. Within months, ServiceNow customers experienced50% faster resolution time for these types of cases.
鈥淲e run ServiceNow on ServiceNow and are proof that organizations don't need thousands of siloed AI agents chasing tasks. Instead, it's about having the right combination of AI agents in the right roles, with the right context, integrated with humans and working across the enterprise to unlock higher-value work, foster innovation, and drive productivity," said Kellie Romack, chief digital information officer, ServiceNow. 鈥淲ith strong governance, clearly defined responsibilities, performance tracking, and oversight from human managers, we've created a model for scaling the agentic workforce that delivers exponential value.鈥�
Managing the agentic workforce with confidence and clarity
Managing an agentic workforce requires the right tools and governance. Human managers can oversee, teach, and coach, and even step in when needed, just like they would have done with any new person on the team. For example, an agentic worker's human manager has visibility to evaluate its health metrics like customer sentiment, ease of use, throughput, and uptime for better oversight into where further learning and escalation may be needed.
Agentic workforce management tooling complements the ServiceNow AI Control Tower, where customers can oversee agentic workforces across the organization, fully understanding the value they get from the ServiceNow AI Platform, and govern all their AI processes and assets 鈥攅nsuring compliance, ethical oversight, and safe usage of AI. ServiceNow AI Control Tower, which became available in May, ensures that everyone from HR to IT can understand, activate, and optimize their agentic workforce with trust and transparency at the core. Additionally, through other ServiceNow solutions like AI Agent Orchestrator, organizations can coordinate teams of specialized agents from across their ecosystem to create an agentic workforce that fulfills specific goals across departments.
鈥淓nterprises aren鈥檛 asking if they鈥檒l adopt agentic-enabled ways of working anymore; they鈥檙e wrestling with how to frame responsibly,鈥� said Amy Loomis, Ph.D., Research Vice President, IDC. 鈥淲ith trust and governance just as critical as productivity, ServiceNow鈥檚 integrated approach positions it as a leading voice in defining how organizations manage the relationship between workers and AI agents at scale.鈥�
