    The Now Assist panel opens with four AI-powered action options.

4.  Select one of the following AI-powered actions:

    -   **Acknowledge task**: Generate a response acknowledging the employee's request or concern.
    -   **Follow up**: Generate a follow-up message requesting additional information or next steps.
    -   **Post response**: Generate a response providing information or addressing the employee's inquiry.
    -   **Summarize actions taken**: Generate a summary of the actions already completed on the case.
5.  Review the AI-generated text in the Now Assist panel.

6.  Refine the generated text by editing it directly in the panel, if needed.

    You can modify the tone, add specific details, or adjust the content to match your case resolution approach.

7.  Select **Insert** to add the text to the Work Notes or Additional Comments field.

    The generated and refined text is inserted into the selected field.

8.  Review the inserted text in the case form and make any final edits, if needed.

9.  Select **Save** to save the work notes or comments.
