Agentic AI
for Service Management
From Assistive Answers to Autonomous Action

What is agentic AI?
Agentic AI is a system of AI βagentsβ that can make decisions and take steps toward an objective - often coordinating with other agents - rather than only responding to prompts. Recent publicβsector guidance describes agentic AI as autonomous, LLMβenhanced agents able to plan, act, and iterate to meet goals.
Why it matters for Service Management
Agentic AI can do the work a human agent would normally do - safely and with guardrails - such as password resets and unlocks, triage and routing, data enrichment from CMDB, low-risk change execution (with approvals), pattern detection for incidents, and drafting KBs from solved tickets. Safeguards typically include sandboxing, least-privilege access, approvals, and full audit trails.
Agentic AI vs. βregularβ AI (assistive)
Agentic AI:
Plans multiβstep workflows and acts (e.g., perform a password reset), under policy and approvals.
Assistive AI:
Advises (searches KBs, summarizes threads, recommends next steps) but does not execute changes.
For retrieval tasks, many teams adopt βagentic RAGβ so the AI can iterate over sources until itβs confident.

How Vendors Approach AI in Service Management

Atlassian (Jira Service Management)
-
Virtual Service Agent handles Tier-1 requests across the help center, Slack or Microsoft Teams.
-
βAtlassian Intelligenceβ summarizes context, recommends articles/SMEs, and supports AIOps-driven incident workflows.

Freshworks (Freshservice)
-
Freddy Agent provides a 24/7 conversational assistant in Slack/Teams; Freddy Copilot accelerates agent work (summaries, replies); Freddy Insights surfaces trends and opportunities to improve.

SysAid
-
SysAid Copilot embeds generative and agentic AI throughout ITSM, including a Teams-based chatbot, an AI agent builder, and analytics for usage and containment.

Halo (HaloITSM)
-
SysAid Copilot embeds generative and agentic AI throughout ITSM, including a Teams-based chatbot, an AI agent builder, and analytics for usage and containment.

Atomicwork
- Positions itself as an AI-native, agentic service management platform centred on a universal AI agent that meets employees in their flow of work (Slack, Teams, email, browser).
- Focus areas include Tier-1 automation/deflection, permissions-aware answers, and end-to-end workflow execution across connected tools with enterprise guardrails and analytics.
Why BDQ?
π
Prioritize Use Cases
Start with high-volume, low-risk tasks (password resets, unlocks, distribution-list updates, software requests).
π
Data & Guardrails
Prepare KB/CMDB, define approvals and RBAC, sandbox agent actions for safe evaluation.
π¨
Agent Design
Map intents β tools (ticketing, IdP, chat) and decide where agentic workflows run (inside your ITSM platform or via an orchestration layer).
π
Pilot & Measure
Run A/B pilots; track deflection, FCR, AHT, MTTR, SLA, and CSAT to prove value and tune prompts/workflows.
π
Migrate & Scale
Move from assistive β agent-proposed actions β human-approved actions β fully automated for agreed tasks, with ongoing auditing.
Agentic AI FAQ
-
Is agentic AI safe to use in ITSM?
Yes. When deployed with role-based access, approvals, auditing, and sandboxed evaluation.
-
What can I automate first?
Password resets, account unlocks, basic software requests, and ticket triage/assignment are typical first wins.
-
Do I need to switch tools to get value?
No, not necessarily. Most leading platforms now ship agentic and assistive capabilities you can enable and expand over time.
-
Can BDQ help design and pilot agentic workflows?
Yes. BDQ helps map intents to actions, define guardrails, configure tools, and launch measurable A/B pilots - so you can prove value before scaling.
-
Can we make sure AI doesnβt act beyond its scope?
Yes. BDQ configures agent actions with least-privilege access, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and full audit logging - ensuring every action aligns with policy and can be rolled back if needed.
