EITaaS Wave One and the Department of the Air Force are elevating IT support to meet the demands of tomorrow with the launch of the enhanced EITaaS Virtual Assistant.

The production environment of the virtual agent on the ServiceNow platform is being replaced with a solution powered by advanced artificial intelligence. The virtual assistant is a large language model-powered AI assistant that delivers 24/7 support while maintaining security compliance within the DAF environment.

"EVA takes the first step in integrating AI into our DAF IT service management processes ensuring every warfighter gets the IT support they need, when they need it,” said 2nd Lt. Kade Olsen, EITaaS engineer on the team who oversaw the integration.

The EITaaS Wave One team said that, for personnel across the DAF, this change will deliver tangible benefits through instant answers to IT questions without waiting in queues. EVA provides responses to IT questions, enabling personnel to maintain productivity without disruption.

Personnel can resolve problems independently, reducing downtime and increasing operational readiness. When AI can't solve an issue, users can seamlessly connect with live Enterprise Service Desk agents. The instant response capabilities free up human experts to handle more complex, mission-critical issues, EITaaS Wave One officials said.

According to the EITaaS Wave One team, success will be measured not just by technical metrics, but by user adoption, satisfaction and the time saved for DAF personnel to focus on their primary mission. The transition from the existing virtual agent to EVA demonstrates the team’s commitment to continuous improvement and recognizes that DAF members deserve the best tools available.
