Using Employee Navigator to find AI-generated answers


End users can find AI-generated answers to their queries in a conversational language from the Employee Navigator side panel in the end-user console. The Employee Navigator is powered by BMC HelixGPT and can be accessed on all types of devices, such as desktops, tablets, and mobiles.

End users benefit from the generative AI retrieval of answers in the following ways: 

  • Provide text, image, or voice (that is transcripted to text) as input to ask queries to BMC HelixGPT

  • Conversational experience when BMC HelixGPT generates an answer to a query, rather than a list of knowledge articles.

  • Reliable and refined results because the answers are extracted from various sources such as knowledge articles, service requests, approvals, people attributes, service health item, and to-dos. The answers are not generated from the Internet or the large language model's (LLM) general knowledge, unless specifically configured.


The following short video (1:15) shows how you can find answers with BMC HelixGPT, switch between search and BMC HelixGPT, or start over with a new topic:

Examples of finding To-dos

  • Show my assigned To-dos

    This type of query generates answers based on active To-dos with the Assigned status. End users can use more casual language to ask BMC HelixGPT to find To-dos, while maintaining the same intent, such as, What are my pending assignments? or Show my open assignments.

  • Show my completed To-dos

Examples of finding service health items

  • Show all services that have performance issues

    End users can request Employee Navigator to display service health items with various statuses. They can also specify the date for which they want to check the status of the service health items. For example, they might ask Show services that had performance issues on November 6. 

    Important: For this type of query, users must specify the exact status of the service health item.

  • Show the specific service health item

    End users can request Employee Navigator to display a specific service health item by providing its name. Users can use casual language to inquire about specific service health items while maintaining the same intent. For example, they might ask, Is there a problem with the internet service health item? or What's wrong with the email service?

  • Show my favorite service health items

    End users can request Employee Navigator to display their favorite service health items. They can either include the term favorite in their query or phrase their request without it. For example, queries like Show my service health items or What are my service health items? will also return favorite service health items. If end users want to see all service health items, including those that are not favorites, they must clearly specify this intent in their query by saying, Show all service health items. Learn how to add service health items to the favorite list in To add service health items to the favorite section.
