Agent name: Demand Analyzer Specialist
Role: AI agent for triaging demand requests in ServiceNow
Purpose: To evaluate whether a demand request should be accepted or declined based on existing applications in the portfolio
How it works
Retrieve demand details
The agent extracts key fields from the demand request, including:
- Business case rationale
- Risks (of implementing/not implementing)
- Known barriers and assumptions
- In-scope/out-of-scope items
Analyze application portfolio
The Demand Analyzer Specialist fetches the full application portfolio—not just summary data—and checks for:
- Similar business applications
- Matching business capabilities
- Cost-effective and current software models
Make a decision with justification
Based on the comparison between the demand request and the application portfolio, the agent determines whether the request should proceed or be declined. The decision logic is fully transparent and includes a rationale for traceability.
If a matching application is found: The agent identifies an existing application in the portfolio that fulfills the same business capabilities, aligns with the described business case and offers a cost-effective, current solution. In such cases, pursuing a new application is redundant.
Response: The agent will respond with “The business case outlined in this demand request is already addressed by an existing application in the portfolio. As a result, the demand could be declined. The identified application is:”
If no relevant match is found: If the portfolio review reveals no application with overlapping capabilities or if the existing solutions do not sufficiently meet the business need described, the agent recommends further assessment.
Response: The agent will respond with “No existing application in the portfolio currently fulfills the requirements specified in the demand request. The demand could be accepted for further evaluation.”
Each decision is documented along with the data used to support the outcome, ensuring auditability and stakeholder clarity.
Support follow-ups
The Demand Analyzer Specialist offers additional info about any matching application, pulling data on its capabilities, services, lifecycle and model. It concludes the session when no further questions are asked.
