In the complex world of AI, even experienced teams can stumble over terminology. What one person calls an “agent,” another might call a “workflow,” and suddenly expectations and outcomes don’t align. That’s why AI literacy starts with a shared vocabulary. A simple one-page glossary can align assumptions across teams, turn vague requests into testable work, make success measurable, and reduce compliance risk. When everyone understands the terms the same way, teams move faster, decisions get smarter, and AI delivers real impact.
To help teams navigate ServiceNow AI, we’ve compiled a list of key tools and features, showing what they do and don’t do to simplify workflows, automation, and AI adoption.
