Serval’s super agent Catalyst creates roving background agents to identify and fix IT issues before they’re ticketed

Catalyst sits above Serval's AI-native service management platform as an admin-facing "super agent." It can inspect ticket history, standard operating procedures or natural-language instructions, identify recurring work, and draft the workflows, skills, forms, access policies, journeys and dashboards needed to automate it. ServiceNow's Build Agent can already translate natural-language instructions into full-stack applications, flows, scripts and other platform metadata, while its AI Agent Advisor can analyze instance records to identify automation opportunities.
