At its Knowledge 2026 event in Las Vegas, ServiceNow introduced new AI-powered capabilities for ServiceNow University aimed at helping professionals develop practical AI and workflow automation skills faster. The additions, AI Learning Guide and SimStudio, are designed to provide personalized coaching and hands-on learning experiences as organizations accelerate workforce transformation in the AI era.
This move is taking place as the world sees a greater need for reskilling because of how AI changes jobs. ServiceNow pointed out the World Economic Forum forecasts predicting that there will be 78 million new jobs created due to technology changes by 2030, which calls for more workforce development.
ServiceNow University differs significantly from conventional corporate learning in its heavy reliance on experience learning. In comparison to other corporate learning platforms that involve course completions, the idea of ServiceNow University is to provide experience-based learning opportunities that build confidence.

“AI will reshape every job. The companies leading this moment are redesigning how their people learn, adapt, and grow alongside it,” said Jacqui Canney, chief people and AI enablement officer at ServiceNow. “ServiceNow University treats learning as an operating model, not a program. And it’s how we build an adaptive, AI-native workforce and unleash the human capacity AI can’t replace.”
This AI Learning Guide is basically an AI coaching assistant in a conversation format that recommends personalized paths for learning based on the user’s role, abilities, and behavior.
SimStudio, meanwhile, offers a simulation-based training module where users get to practice ServiceNow-related activities in realistic situations. Rather than basing learning assessments only on quiz results or completion rates, the application analyzes how users conduct tasks, follow best practices, and handle problems.
In its announcement, ServiceNow said that it has seen a rapid increase in the number of participants enrolled at ServiceNow University; the learning platform now boasts almost 2 million global users, a 80% year-on-year rise. It also cited research suggesting that companies which invest in ServiceNow training and certification programs are already reaping the benefits in terms of productivity, implementation speed, and customer retention.
With these new developments, it seems ServiceNow plans to integrate learning into business execution and workforce readiness using AI.
