Features
Today ServiceNow has a large collection of AI and ML capabilities. AI in a Box is a product that gives you access to a self-hosted large language model server (llm) and a vector database (vectordb).

Summarization
ServiceNow has a model for each capability. That being said their summarization model may be more accurate than the one provided by AI in a Box. The AI in a Box model is designed to be fast and cost effective and customizable.
The speed of AI in a Box is trying to stay under 30 seconds. ServiceNow’s model is not available to compare.

Suggested Field Values (Predictive Intelligence)
This feature isn’t part of the GenAI products in ServiceNow but is part of the Predictive Intelligence product.
The requirement for this in ServiceNow was to have 30k records to train against and to set up some schedule to train the model in one environment and then push it to another.
This feature is not yet in AI in a Box but can by simply doing a similarity match against the VectorDB and then presenting the results in an intuitive way.
