ServiceNow and OpenAI collaborate to deepen and accelerate enterprise AI outcomes

ServiceNow, an AI control tower for business reinvention, and OpenAI have announced an enhanced strategic collaboration to power Agentic AI experiences and accelerate enterprise AI outcomes.

The agreement deepens collaboration between OpenAI technical advisors and ServiceNow engineers, giving customers direct access to frontier capabilities, custom ServiceNow AI solutions aligned to their roadmaps and increased speed and scale without bespoke development.
ServiceNow will build direct speech-tospeech technology using OpenAI models to enable more natural interactions and break through language barriers. With access to the latest OpenAI models, including GPT-5.2, ServiceNow will unlock a new class of AI-powered automation for large enterprises.
“ ServiceNow leads the market in AIpowered workflows, setting the enterprise standard for real-world AI outcomes,” said Amit Zavery, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Product Officer at ServiceNow.“ With OpenAI, ServiceNow is building the future of AI experiences, deploying AI that takes end-to-end action in complex enterprise environments. As companies shift from experimenting with AI to deploying it at scale, they need the power of multiple AI leaders working together to deliver faster, better outcomes.”
“ ServiceNow is helping enterprises bring Agentic AI into workflows that are secure, scalable and designed to deliver measurable outcomes,” said Brad Lightcap, Chief Operating Officer at OpenAI.“ With OpenAI frontier models and multimodal capabilities in ServiceNow, enterprises across every industry will benefit from intelligence that handles work end to end in even the most complex environments.”
Co-innovation that accelerates adoption
As AI model releases accelerate, enterprises need help keeping workflows aligned with the latest innovations. Embedding OpenAI models into the ServiceNow AI Platform complements customers’ ServiceNow configuration management database( CMDB) and provides native access to intelligence that informs actions within workflows.
ServiceNow’ s AI Control Tower acts as the governance and orchestration layer, offering centralised visibility into how models are applied across workflows, how they interact with enterprise data and systems and how AI-driven actions are executed at scale in a controlled, auditable way.
Key use cases include:
• Real-time speech-to-speech voice agents: ServiceNow and OpenAI are working towards AI agents that can listen, reason and respond naturally without text intermediation
• Supercharging automation: OpenAI computer-use models enable new classes of IT automation by turning unstructured documents into actionable data, extending secure, context-aware automation across more environments
