Published: · Event date:
ServiceNow’s October 21 announcement makes its long-running employee agent generally available across EmployeeWorks Foundation, Advanced and Prime, without an additional charge. Mac is supported; Windows is expected within weeks. AI Passport and its NVIDIA enforcement integrations remain a future release.

What changes for users
Employee-side support teams should confirm device support and enforceable permissions before assigning work. Arc’s launch does not establish an autonomous customer-facing service deployment.
Editorial assessmentChecked: [release]

ServiceNow says Arc can plan and carry out tasks across its workflows, email and Teams. IT can define access policies through Super Intelligence Control Tower, with NVIDIA OpenShell enforcing boundaries during execution.
Vendor-reportedChecked: [release]
The availability section qualifies the release’s broader governance claims. Buyers should distinguish current runtime controls from the planned passport-based enforcement in OpenShell and BlueField hardware.
