ServiceNow Acquires Raytion to Boost GenAI Search and Knowledge Management
ServiceNow has acquired Raytion to boost its GenAI-powered search and knowledge management features on the Now Platform. Raytion’s cutting-edge information retrieval technology will provide seamless, real-time access to critical business data across various enterprise sources. This integration will enhance the AI search experience, making it more powerful, efficient, and personalized—all within a single technology platform.
The complexity of modern enterprise environments will drive the need for more intelligence about the data, so that organizations can take control of highly distributed, diverse, and dynamic information1. With Raytion technology combined with ServiceNow AI Search, users can find the answers they require without having to know exactly where the information is located. Raytion’s technology will integrate secure access to information from enterprise data sources and allow ServiceNow’s AI Search to provide users with an industry‑leading, intelligent search experience and the information they need, all from a single entry point. This includes data within ServiceNow and from third‑party systems.
“ServiceNow is accelerating work, uniting fragmented data into a single, intelligent platform that helps customers access and share knowledge across their organizations,” said Jon Sigler, senior vice president, Platform and AI, at ServiceNow. “Raytion’s information retrieval technology will set us apart by making relevant data sources searchable so everyone—employees, customers, and agents—get the answers they need, when they need them.”
Raytion’s GenAI‑powered search and knowledge management capabilities allow for cross‑enterprise data integration, pulling from the full universe of enterprise knowledge that exists in various knowledge repositories, rather than a subset. When combined with the ServiceNow Now Assist GenAI experience, data moves beyond disparate information to now providing users with more comprehensive, relevant search results in one centralized location, helping boost self‑service and case deflection. ServiceNow’s single data model – which seamlessly integrates people, services, and systems to empower AI capabilities – takes this even further, enabling a more personalized experience for users, drawing on employee history like previous searches and interactions so results are more relevant and tailored to their unique needs.
“Enriching GenAI with the specific up‑to‑date information an employee has access to across all relevant data sources makes not only business processes smarter but the whole enterprise,” said Valentin Richter, founder and CEO of Raytion.
