Tool Summaries

ScreenMeet, for Agentic Remote Support Native to ServiceNow

ScreenMeet is an enterprise remote support platform built natively inside ServiceNow. Technicians start sessions, view device telemetry, and close tickets within the ServiceNow workspace.

How It Works

Three AI agents support the session. One assembles device telemetry and incident history before troubleshooting begins. Another correlates that context against past resolutions to build a diagnostic and remediation plan. The third writes structured resolution notes to the ServiceNow incident upon session close.

Technician-in-the-loop execution keeps approval with the technician. Every AI-recommended action waits for explicit approval before execution. The four-part workflow, Discover, Analyze, Apply, and Document, separates information processing from the final judgment call.

Why We Suggest It

ScreenMeet writes detailed session records to ServiceNow, giving Now Assist more context for recommendations and knowledge management. ScreenMeet reports more than 25,000 technicians and 500 million end users worldwide.

In a documented customer example, TTEC's quality team moved from reviewing 5 to 10 calls per technician each month to reviewing up to 15,000 sessions per month with AI summaries. Read the TTEC customer story. ScreenMeet also reports savings of 2 to 10 minutes per ticket through automated capture.

ServiceNow Now Assist, for ServiceNow's Native Generative AI Layer

Now Assist is ServiceNow's generative AI product for incident and case summarization, virtual agent conversations, knowledge article generation, routing, and resolution recommendations. It applies AI across existing ServiceNow data. Teams use a separate remote support product when technicians need access to devices and live session guidance.

Teams that pair Now Assist with a platform that writes detailed session records into ServiceNow give it more resolution context over time. The two products then cover different stages of the support process.

BeyondTrust Remote Support, for High-Security Environments with PAM Requirements

BeyondTrust Remote Support, still widely referenced as Bomgar, connects to ServiceNow through a connector. Technicians can launch sessions from a ticket and receive post-session logs.

Its FIPS 140-2 certification, alongside SOC 2 and ISO 27001, makes it a strong fit for regulated environments with federal compliance requirements. BeyondTrust centers on privileged access management, high-security remote control, and session auditing. Teams that need AI-guided troubleshooting should assess that requirement separately during procurement.

TeamViewer, for Enterprises with Existing Tensor Deployments

TeamViewer's ServiceNow integration is available through the Tensor enterprise platform. It supports session launch from ServiceNow tickets, automated post-session logging, and CoPilot AI insights within the Tensor console.

TeamViewer requires a client to be installed on end-user devices. Organizations already running Tensor can extend that investment into ServiceNow. New buyers should review the deployment model and the amount of session information that reaches ServiceNow.

Moveworks, for Conversational AI and Ticket Deflection

Moveworks delivers AI through conversational interfaces and integrates with ServiceNow to route requests, surface resolution suggestions, and reduce the volume of tickets reaching the service desk. Its strength is employee self-service before an issue reaches a technician.

Moveworks handles the self-service stage before a technician joins a remote session. Teams can pair it with a dedicated remote support platform when live device assistance is required.

Microsoft Copilot Studio, for Microsoft-Heavy Workflow Automation

Microsoft Copilot Studio supports AI-powered workflows, chatbots, and automation within Microsoft environments. It connects to ServiceNow via Power Automate to route tickets and automate processes.

For organizations with established Microsoft infrastructure, Copilot Studio handles workflow-level automation. A dedicated remote support platform covers the live device session.
