At the ServiceNow Knowledge 2026 conference, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang and ServiceNow chairman and CEO Bill McDermott announced an expanded collaboration to develop autonomous AI agents for enterprise use. The partnership aims to integrate NVIDIA’s accelerated computing, open models, and domain-specific skills with ServiceNow’s workflow and governance platforms. Central to this initiative is Project Arc, a self-evolving autonomous desktop agent designed for knowledge workers such as developers, IT teams, and administrators.

Project Arc connects directly to the ServiceNow AI Platform through Action Fabric, enabling governance, auditability, and workflow intelligence for every action it performs. It leverages NVIDIA OpenShell, an open-source secure runtime, to ensure agents operate within sandboxed, policy-governed environments. The companies are also introducing tools such as the NVIDIA AI-Q Blueprint, Agent Toolkit, and NOWAI-Bench to support specialized agent development and benchmarking.

The collaboration emphasizes efficiency and scalability through NVIDIA’s AI factories and Blackwell platform, which deliver improved token economics for large-scale AI deployment. Together, NVIDIA and ServiceNow aim to provide enterprises with the infrastructure, context, and governance needed to deploy autonomous AI systems safely and effectively.
