How AI is Transforming ITSM in 2025 and Beyond

Expert Insight: AI’s Future in ITSM

“By 2026, generative AI will automate 80% of routine ITSM tasks, enabling teams to focus on innovation and strategic growth,” says Saurabh Kumar, CEO of Rezolve.ai.

1. Intelligent Virtual Assistants (IT Chatbots)  

AI-powered virtual assistants are becoming more sophisticated. They can understand natural language and provide personalized support. These assistants can handle a wide range of user requests, from resetting passwords to providing detailed technical support, thus reducing the workload on human IT support staff.

2. Problem Detection and Clustering

AI can now detect patterns in user issues and connect them to common underlying problems (like a system outage). This predictive capability helps in proactive problem management, allowing IT teams to address potential issues before they escalate, thereby reducing downtime and improving service availability.

3. Agile Knowledge Management

AI can dynamically update and manage knowledge bases by learning from new incidents and resolutions. This ensures that the knowledge base is always up to date, providing accurate information and solutions to users and support staff.

4. Summarization and Routing

GenAI can summarize the interactions, gather additional information and connect users to the right teams to ensure an amazing service experience.

5. Sentiment Analysis

AI can analyze user feedback and sentiment from support interactions, emails, live chat and other communications and proactively escalate and intervene. This helps in tailoring support services to meet user expectations better.

6. Personalized and localized IT Support

AI can provide personalized support by analyzing user behavior and preferences. For instance, it can detect a user's location and offer tips for connecting to that location. Similarly, it can review a user’s prior incident history and make informed suggestions.

7. Predictive Escalation and Forward-Looking KPIs

AI can predict when an IT request is not heading for a timely resolution and escalate it to a manager or get attention otherwise. Not just historical KPI – but intelligence to shape the outcomes and KPI.

8. Automated Root Cause Analysis

AI-driven systems can perform automated root cause analysis by correlating data from various sources. This helps quickly identify the underlying cause of incidents, reducing the time required for troubleshooting and speeding up the resolution process.

9. GenAI across ITSM channels

Beyond chatbots, GenAI-powered intelligent systems can now respond to emails, answer phone calls, send notifications and do much more.

10. Proactive support

Leverage data to predict and prevent issues. Help extend expiring users, detect device issues, map new printers in new locations or hundreds of other support ideas – before the user has a downtime.
