AI Agents Are Replacing IT Workflows — Not People. Here's the Difference.


Listen Later

Is your IT operation ready for AI agents? Not chatbots. Not automation 
rules. Actual agents that observe, plan, and act on their own.

In this episode of The Wired Garage with Pops, Steele and Pops go 
under the hood of Agentic AI in ITSM — breaking down how AI agents 
are changing incident triage, change management, and CMDB health in 
real IT environments.

🔧 What we cover:
- Why traditional ITSM automation is getting brittle
- How agentic AI thinks vs. how old automation rules work
- LIVE demo inside ServiceNow AI Agent Studio
- 3 real use cases: Incident Triage, Change Co-Pilot & CMDB Health
- Guardrails, blast radius, and why autonomy has to be earned
- The metrics that actually tell you if agents are working
- What executives are asking — and what IT leaders need to answer

💬 The quote that says it all:
"If you thought a bad process could run fast when automated... 
wait until you add AI on top of that."

Whether you're in IT ops, running ServiceNow, leading a team, or just 
trying to understand where AI is actually landing in the real world — 
this one's for you.
