MWC 2025: ServiceNow and NVIDIA expand collaboration designed to transform the telecoms industry
The agents are designed to drive productivity across the entire service lifecycle. The first use cases will put AI agents to work for communications service providers (CSPs) to autonomously solve some of the most common, labor‑intensive workflows in customer service and network operations.
The combination of ServiceNow's AI platform with NVIDIA NIM microservices and NVIDIA NeMo, both part of NVIDIA AI Enterprise, brings industry‑specific, out‑of‑the‑box AI agents and delivers a full‑stack agentic AI solution for CSPs to help resolve problems faster and deliver great customer experiences.
AI is changing the way telecoms provide service and interact with customers, from automating routine tasks and enhancing self‑service options to enabling human agents to focus on complex issues and speed up customer response times. According to McKinsey, telecom companies could unlock up to $250 billion in value by 2040 by implementing advanced responsible AI practices[1], turning exceptional customer service into a strategic business advantage.
'AI continues to be the key driver of business transformation in telecom, and ServiceNow, working with NVIDIA, is playing a pivotal role in this shift,' said Rohit Batra, general manager and vice president for manufacturing, telecommunications, media, and technology at ServiceNow. 'The launch of new AI agents developed specifically for the telecom industry demonstrates our continued commitment to building solutions that help solve the biggest challenges facing business leaders. ServiceNow has been at the forefront of AI innovation for years, and this collaboration with NVIDIA marks the next step in delivering agentic AI‑powered automation that transforms how CSPs operate and serve their customers.'
'Telcos require AI acceleration to transform their operations,' said Chris Penrose, telco global VP of business development at NVIDIA. 'By creating NVIDIA‑powered AI agents to enhance telecom workflows for network operations and customer experience, ServiceNow is helping its customers improve efficiency, optimize costs, and enhance customer satisfaction.'
Transforming operations through agentic AI
New ready‑to‑use AI agents provide CSPs with automation and intelligence capabilities specifically designed to address their unique challenges—building upon the AI agents that are being rolled out to nearly 1,000 customers with GenAI capabilities on the ServiceNow Platform—and enabling them to collaborate, learn, reason, and solve problems on their own.
Designed for the telecommunications industry, the AI agents use specialized frameworks and advanced reasoning to repair networks, address service disruptions, and help prevent customer issues before they happen. These AI agents take intelligent, context‑aware actions that work across the service lifecycle, including:
Service test and repair : Offers faster, more seamless issue resolution. AI agents analyze network data, diagnose issues, recommend solutions, and coordinate repair actions, including field engineer scheduling.

AI agents generate resolution playbooks and help predict potential network disruptions before they impact customers, helping CSPs reduce resolution time and improve customer satisfaction. Billing resolution: AI agents autonomously identify unusual usage patterns, provide real‑time charge explanations, and recommend more cost‑effective plans. By improving transparency and reducing unexpected charges, CSPs can reduce billing complaints and call center volume.
A collaboration built for the future of the telecom industry
ServiceNow and NVIDIA are expanding their collaboration on AI‑powered automation solutions by introducing vertical‑specific agentic AI solutions to drive productivity, improve customer experiences, and simplify operations.
'By combining ServiceNow's AI‑driven platform with NVIDIA's advanced AI technology, CSPs are equipped with intelligent automation that enhances network operations and customer service,' said John Byrne, Research Vice President, Communications Service Provider Operations & Monetization industry practice, IDC. 'This collaboration has the potential to enable telecom providers to drive faster resolutions, improve reliability, and enhance customer experiences at scale.'
These innovations build on last year's announcement of Now Assist for Telecommunications Service Management (TSM)—a breakthrough solution that helps telcos put AI to work across customer service and network operations to enhance agent productivity, accelerate service resolution, and improve customer experience. Since then, ServiceNow has worked closely with NVIDIA to embed agentic AI‑driven automation into the core of telecom operations, allowing providers to further improve efficiency and deliver better customer experiences with the assistance of autonomous AI agents.
Managing AI agent performance
Agentic AI without unification creates complexity. ServiceNow's recently announced AI Agent Orchestrator acts as the central control tower for all AI agents, helping to ensure teams of specialized AI agents work together across tasks, systems, and departments to achieve a specific goal. For use cases beyond the out‑of‑the‑box AI agents, the recent introduction of AI Agent Studio empowers enterprises across industries to build and refine custom workflows without complex coding, making it easier to put agentic AI capabilities to work for their specific operational challenges.
Workflow Data Fabric serves as the foundation for this agentic AI innovation, seamlessly connecting enterprise‑wide data to power intelligent automation. By accessing both structured and unstructured data wherever it resides, ServiceNow AI Agents can drive smarter decisions and deliver meaningful business outcomes.

Markets can't afford to ignore Bessent's warning shot
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent last week made a comment that should have sent markets into deep reflection. Instead, it was largely shrugged off. He suggested that the White House's unprecedented revenue-sharing deal with Nvidia and AMD could be extended to other industries. This single line carries profound implications — and the muted reaction says more about investor complacency than anything else. The arrangement currently in place compels Nvidia and AMD to hand over 15% of certain Chinese sales to Washington in exchange for export licences. Bessent called it a 'model' and a 'beta test.' President Trump reinforced the idea by comparing modified chip exports to the downgraded fighter jets the US sells abroad. If this experiment were to expand to other sectors, it would fundamentally alter how globally active companies interact with the US government. It would rewrite rules of trade, supply chains, and corporate valuations. I said earlier last week that 'overstretched markets are vulnerable to precisely this kind of policy surprise.' We are in a moment where investors are pricing perfection — and a policy template that could be rolled out across industries is anything but perfect. It is disruptive, unpredictable, and open-ended. That should not be ignored. The danger is that investors are fixated on a single theme: the Federal Reserve cutting rates in September. Soft inflation data has all but convinced markets a cut is coming, with futures pricing a 94% probability. Some are even betting on a 50-basis-point move after Bessent himself called on the Fed to be bold. The S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow, Russell 2000, and MSCI All Country World Index all hit fresh highs on this expectation. In other words, global positioning has become dangerously one-sided. But markets built entirely around one assumption are fragile. Add a new industrial policy template into the mix, one that Washington could apply beyond semiconductors, and the spectrum of possible outcomes broadens dramatically. What makes the situation even riskier is that the rally is already thin. In a healthy, broad-based uptrend, earnings strength is visible across sectors. Today, it's selective. This leaves indices looking strong on the surface while being hollow underneath. When strength is concentrated and liquidity is light, as it often is in August, markets can turn violently. A handful of good sessions convinces traders a durable uptrend has formed, only for sentiment to collapse when the data flow turns against them. This is a textbook environment for sharp reversals. For investors, the critical point is this: Bessent's remarks are not idle speculation. They hint at a framework that could extend beyond chips. If that happens, global business will have to operate under a new set of rules overnight. Revenues, margins, and capital expenditure plans would all need to be reassessed. Cross-border investment flows would feel the impact immediately. The knock-on effects would not stay confined to semiconductors. I don't believe the market is prepared for that possibility. At record highs, optimism is being priced without much thought for what could go wrong. And it is precisely at these moments — when the headlines are euphoric, when positioning is crowded, and when liquidity is thin — that disruptive variables carry the most risk. This is not a call to panic. It's a call to pay attention. Record highs don't reduce risk; if anything, they amplify it. Investors should be reassessing exposure, rebalancing portfolios, and considering what happens if policy, data, or geopolitics break from the script everyone has chosen to believe. Chasing the last leg of this rally on the assumption that nothing can go wrong is the most dangerous move of all. Bessent has effectively fired a warning shot. Whether markets want to hear it or not, investors should be listening.
