Summary: ServiceNow announced general availability of Arc, a personal enterprise agent that works across ServiceNow, email and Teams and can plan, check and adjust tasks. The company describes policy enforcement through Control Tower and NVIDIA OpenShell, while several passport and hardware controls remain forthcoming. Availability starts on Mac, with Windows promised within weeks.

Why it matters: Operations managers can pilot one low-risk coordination task by naming allowed sources, approval points and prohibited actions before connecting the agent. Readers gain a noncoding test for whether policy controls, audit history and human handoffs remain visible across familiar workplace applications.
