We hope everyone has been enjoying the Knowledge Digital Experience this year. The Hackathon winners were just announced via the video session on the knowledge experience platform. The corporate ServiceNow Blog also has a featured post outlining the winners!
The Hackathon team and I had a fantastic weekend helping answer questions in zoom Guru help hours all through the 24 hours! When not helping directly, we were live streaming, and watching live streams. Two teams live-streamed the WHOLE app building process, one of them even did their pitch video live!
The best part was reading all the application descriptions and watching their Pitch videos. The judges furiously had to complete three rounds of judging and record the session announcing the winners in less than 72 hours from the end of the hackathon. You can share in this fun but reviewing the applications below!!
We look forward to you joining us in future Hackathons!

Obsequio - Team Devs Without Hats
In 1999, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) published “To Err Is Human”, which reported that between 44,000 and 98,000 deaths per year were attributable to medical errors, costing approximately $17 billion to $29 billion. In 2004, the World Health Organization began supporting dialogue among health leaders, consumers, and health ministers to discuss patient safety. According to the Agency of Healthcare Research and Quality, there are eight common root causes of medical errors: Communication problems, Inadequate information flow, Human problems, Patient-related issues, Organizational transfer of Knowledge, Staffing patterns and workflow, Technical failures, and Inadequate policies. Researchers are currently looking for ways to reduce medical errors. However, few of them are addressing the root cause of medical errors, nor having measurements defined to evaluate the improvement effort - eliminating the root cause of medical errors by applying a permanent fix.

Finalist
SentimentNow - Team Arnav Solo
The purpose of the application is to make overall service management a more customer centric experience. The app allows for additional insights into how customer see an incident and an agent supports an incident. The time lapsed in receiving the feedback from the caller via a survey combatively adds to the overall time and adds a delay in which an agent/vendor/supplier could have transformed his service management and easily exceeded contractual obligations. In the grand scheme of things where enterprises work with CSM, HRSD, chat bots, etc. this app within ITSM is at the magnitude of a POC. There will be a dollar cost for subscribing to Machine Learning. It will be well worth it the moment a pattern is observed - a disgruntled caller who is quick to escalate, an agent/ebonding that is missing out on reading comments, a CI/category that needs an overhaul in the ways of working due to lack of knowledge. With this app Service Management will work at LightSpeed!

Virtua Agent- Stretching your enterprise chatbot to its limits! - Team ServiceNow’s Gaming Division (aka Earl Duque)
“Every year, my goal during the hackathon isn’t to simply use ServiceNow’s tools to create a business application, but rather, take those same ServiceNow tools and stretch them to their limits so that we can imagine new applications that are only limited by our creativity.
This year’s tool is Virtual Agent. Virtual Agent as most people recognize it is an Enterprise chatbot with a great user interface for designing dialog trees. But with some thinking-outside-of-the-box, why can’t Virtual Agent also be used for communication with other users? for group finding and role assignment? for self-moderating social Q&A?
Using only in-platform tools, this app demonstrates these “outside-the-box” applications via the simulation of a Virtual Agent being a game show host for all its participants! The game works too!

Extended User Profile - Team KMD - TalentLab
“Extended User Profile is a response to the lack of interaction at the workplace due to the worldwide shift to remote work. As colleagues hide behind their computer screens, they do not form close bonds with one another, which can lead to decreased motivation, worse results and low overall incentive.
The introduction of Extended User Profile - highly customizable, interactive user profiles - can be a starting point towards better employee interactions, increased workplace visibility and company-wide initiatives. As a result, employees get to express themselves freely and proactively reach out to other colleagues that share their backgrounds and interests. Other functions include social media integration, visual effects, nicknames, and more.
