# Enable the ServiceNow Otto panel \(Lux UI\)

Enable the ServiceNow Otto panel to have your AI assistant perform setup, configuration, and administrative tasks more quickly using natural language prompts.

**Important:** Lux is the new user experience for AI Admin Center. For more information on the Lux experience, see [AI Admin Center user experience \(Lux UI\)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/intelligent-experiences/ai-admin-center-lux-user-experience.md).

The Next Experience AI Admin Center workspace is being prepared for deprecation in the November store release and will no longer be supported. For more information on the Next Experience UI, see [AI Admin Center workspace \(Next Experience UI\)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/intelligent-experiences/now-assist-center-workspace.md).

In AI Admin Center version 6.1, the Next Experience and Lux user interfaces are both available.

## Before you begin

## About this task

The ServiceNow Otto panel must be enabled for administrators to use the conversational interface in AI Admin Center. When the panel is turned off, a banner appears on the home page notifying you that the conversational experience is unavailable, with a link to the settings page.
