Are you using #AI for IT Service Management? @itsm_tools is looking for your input. #ITSM
I'm sorry to be a pain, but we're still looking for real-world insights on #AI in #ITSM adoption. This survey takes 3-5 minutes and will provide the most up-to-date insights into what's being done where. Please help, including by RTing this. Thanks :) docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
