In today’s episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Bulent Cinarkaya, General Manager of Field Service Management at ServiceNow, to explore how AI is transforming the frontlines of field service. Often overlooked in the broader tech conversation, the technicians working outside the office are now seeing real, tangible improvements to their daily workflows thanks to advancements in intelligent automation.

Bulent brings a wealth of knowledge from working closely with global organizations that rely on ServiceNow to improve how they plan, dispatch, and support field teams. We talked about how agentic and generative AI are no longer theoretical tools; they are actively used to predict what technicians will need before arriving, automate access to resources, and reduce inefficiencies in task planning.

One of the most compelling parts of our conversation was how ServiceNow is using AI to improve productivity and enhance the human experience. From easing the onboarding of new technicians to capturing decades of experience from retiring experts, AI is helping teams bridge a generational gap in expertise. Technicians can now rely on intelligent systems to surface the correct information at the right moment, whether through summarizing technical documents or guiding them through complex tasks.

We also discussed the operational impact, with examples from customers like Bell Canada, Coursera, and British Telecom, who are seeing measurable improvements in scheduling accuracy and time to resolution. Bulent stressed the importance of unified data models, integrated platforms, and strong change management as organizations look to scale AI to ensure adoption and success.

This episode is a wake-up call for anyone still on the fence about AI in field service. AI is not only improving technician efficiency, but it’s also helping companies retain talent, meet rising customer expectations, and ultimately future-proof their operations.

So, how ready is your organization to move beyond proof of concept and turn AI into a field-ready advantage?
