# Create a universal request using Virtual Agent

Create a universal request with the help of Virtual Agent. You can access the Virtual Agent using the chat option in the search page of Service Portal.

## Before you begin

Role required: none

## Procedure

1.  On the portal home page, search for your query in the search bar.

2.  In the Contact us for help section, select **Chat**.

3.  Describe your request.

4.  Select whether your request contains sensitive information.

    If your request contains sensitive information, the Virtual Agent can detect that. It can mark your request as sensitive. For a sample Virtual Agent conversation, see [Universal Request Virtual Agent conversation flows](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/universal-request-for-hr-service-delivery/ur-va-conversation-flows.md).
