Speed, Cost, Quality: Pick All Three — Inside ServiceNow's Globalization Agent
30 september 2026 · 23 min
#Localization #Globalization #ServiceNow #AI Lees meer
A translation can be word-for-word accurate and still be completely wrong. In this episode, Bobby Brill sits down with Sam Smyth, Product Manager on the globalization side at ServiceNow, to get into what happens after you decide to go multilingual — the tools, the governance, and the quiet work nobody sees until it breaks.
Sam spent fifteen years in localization operations and management before joining ServiceNow, and he's blunt about what actually goes wrong: it's rarely the translator. It's the content you sent them. We get into Localization Workspace, the new globalization agent that builds a glossary from your knowledge articles in minutes, why every customer still insists on a human in the loop, and the one mistake that will break your product UI in six languages at once.

How Voice AI Learns to Understand You
16 september 2026 · 22 min
What did I say? What did I mean? Do you understand me? We ask each other those three questions constantly without noticing. Now we ask them of machines — and this episode is about what happens in the gap. Lees meer
Host Bobby Brill pulls together conversations with the ServiceNow linguists, research engineers, and AI governance leads working on voice, language, and chat, including a real recording of a voice agent failing in real time. Same words. Different meaning. And a machine in the middle trying to work out which one you intended.
In this episode:
Why a single English word carries no meaning without context, and what that does to translation
How a name that isn't in the training data breaks the first model in the chain
The three-model cascade behind every voice agent, and what gets lost at each handoff
A voice agent that hears a confirmation code correctly three times and rejects it three times
Why formality — tu or vous — is a fluency problem, not a grammar problem
Who decides what's acceptable for an AI to say when the same word is fine in London and not in Chicago.Check out our past episodes on voice and voice AI:

Teaching a Computer to Speak | Voice AI in the Real World
5 augustus 2026 · 21 min
Voice AI sounds simple until you try to deploy it at scale — across airports, accents, languages, and thousands of employees at once. Lees meer
In this episode of ServiceNow Insights, host Bobby Brill sits down with Midam Kim, an ML engineer and linguist at ServiceNow, to unpack what it actually takes to build voice AI as an enterprise product. From the out-of-vocabulary problem (why AI still struggles with names) to why turn-taking in conversation is a linguistic skill most people never think about, Midam breaks down the human science behind the technology.
In this episode:
- Why voice AI is replacing typing as the default way to interact with enterprise systems
- The difference between building for employees (B2B) vs. building for their customers (B2B2C)
- Why an airport is one of the hardest possible environments for voice AI — and what ServiceNow does about it
- The "out-of-vocabulary" problem: why AI still struggles with names, accents, and rare expressions
- Why ServiceNow's secret sauce is hiring linguists, not just engineers
- The linguistic framework behind every voice interaction: sounds, words, and turn-taking
- Why voice AI is like teaching a kid to speak for the first time

ServiceNow Process Intelligence | Don't Automate the Chaos
22 juli 2026 · 25 min
Most organizations deploying AI agents can’t answer a basic question: is it actually working? Not whether the agent runs — whether the process actually got better. Lees meer
In Episode 3 of our process mining and process intelligence series, Damian Pascale and Roz Parpia join host Bobby Brill to go deep on what it actually looks like to run process intelligence with AI in the mix — from the AI Visibility Gap, to a four-step framework for finding the right AI use cases, to what “closed loop intelligence” really means once agents are governing agents.
This episode’s answer to the recurring question: don’t automate the chaos. Find it, understand it, improve it — then, and only then, streamline it.

ServiceNow Process Intelligence | From Sticky Notes to Process Maps in Five Minutes

The Cost of Building the Right Thing | AI, Speed & Discernment at ServiceNow
17 juni 2026 · 24 min
Engineering teams are building ten times — even a hundred times — more than they could two years ago. That's a win, but one not without challenges. Because the cost of building the right thing has climbed exponentially. In this episode of the ServiceNow Insights podcast, host Bobby Brill sits down with three leaders who are living this tension from three distinct angles: the content and design leader who first spotted the productivity math problem, the design VP pushing for discernment over speed, and the research lead keeping the human at the center.

The Hidden Cost of How Your Business Actually Works | Process Mining with Dan Grady
18 maart 2026 · 24 min
Your dashboards show you what's happening. Process mining shows you why — and what to do about it. In this episode, Bobby Brill sits down with Dan Grady to demystify process mining: what it is, how it works within the ServiceNow platform, and why organizations using it are uncovering years of hidden inefficiency they never knew existed. Lees meer
Dan walks through real customer stories — from a double approval process for printer toner that was costing 2 days per request to a single form-field change that saved 7 years of manual work per month — and explains how process mining moves you from raw data to actionable insight faster than any traditional approach.
Dan Grady has a technology career that spans over 25 years. The last 10 spent at ServiceNow. In his current role as Director of Product Management, he is focused on helping customers identify process improvement opportunities through the use of ServiceNow's Process and Task Mining solution. Outside of the office, he enjoys spending time with his wife and 3 girls, public speaking, bad NY sports teams, a good happy hour deal, and storytelling.
Whether you're new to ServiceNow or a seasoned admin, this episode will change how you think about your workflows.

The Human in the Loop | Ethical AI with Di Le
ServicveNow Insights Podcast - hosted By Bobby Brill Lees meerWhat does it actually mean to build AI responsibly? Not the buzzword version. The real version. In our latest episode, I sat down with Di Le — AI Ethicist and Human-Centered AI Strategist at ServiceNow — and she broke it down in a way I hadn't heard before.
Most people use Ethical AI, Responsible AI, and Human-Centered AI interchangeably, and Di breaks down exactly where each one lives and how they apply to building AI that aligns with our societal values. Fairness. Transparency. Bias. Beyond evaluation and technical talking points, these are also design decisions with real consequences for real people — and operationalizing them is harder than most organizations want to admit.
One line from Di that stopped me: "People have crossed oceans and built monuments in honor of our capability to think. And I just want people to preserve that and not surrender it so freely." That's the episode in one sentence.
