BigPanda Biggy AI Release Notes
New features for Biggy AI:
May 7, 2025
Scheduled Workflows
Scheduled workflows allow you to create multi-action agentic functions that automatically occur at specific times or intervals. You can schedule any workflow to fully automate your prompts, action plans, and decision points. Monitor scheduled agentic results by configuring the workflow to post the results to a channel or email address.
Workflow Execution Analytics
Gain insights into how your channel hawks and scheduled workflows are performing with the Biggy AI web app Analytics module. View analytics related to your workflow executions in the Workflow Execution section.
See the BigPanda Biggy AI Analytics documentation for more information.
Observability Agent Action Plan Update
The Observability Agent action plan answers observability and monitoring-related queries by coordinating a team of system-specific agents. You can configure multiple monitoring tools to be used with this action plan, and Biggy AI will determine which tool to pull information from, based on the query.
See the Action Plans documentation for more information.
Change Risk Dashboard Org-Specific Risk
The Org-Specific Risk tab was added to the Change Risk Dashboard. This new section displays a custom risk evaluation based on factors and context specific to your organization.

Forward Biggy AI Responses to ServiceNow
You can now forward Biggy AI responses to a ServiceNow work note.
