Service Assistant is a proactive AI agent on the case, messaging session, or voice call record pages. It proactively monitors the entire record and orchestrates a set of agent functions in real-time that help a service rep resolve customer issues. These functions come together in the Service Assistant component, a Lightning web component that shows as a panel on the record page and serves as a resolution workspace for service reps. Together, Service Assistant's proactivity and its functions make up the Adaptive Experience, which includes:

- Service plans that provide real-time, step-by-step resolution guidance grounded in the record data and several [grounding sources](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=service.sp_blocks_intro.htm&type=5&language=en_US), like knowledge. A service plan is the core feature of Service Assistant and adapts in real-time to record updates.
- Agent capabilities that provide service reps additional context and resolution assistance alongside the service plan, such as Case Catch-Up & Insights and Service Replies.
- Agent chat that gives service reps on-demand resolution assistance from Service Assistant, like looking up knowledge information and asking to run actions.
