NVIDIA Blog·high signal

At Knowledge 2026, ServiceNow and NVIDIA announced Project Arc — a long-running, self-evolving autonomous desktop agent for knowledge workers that completes complex multistep work across enterprise tools without pre-built workflows. Every action runs inside NVIDIA OpenShell, an open-source sandboxed runtime with declarative YAML policies, while ServiceNow AI Control Tower governs behavior, sets policies, and logs all files read, commands executed, and APIs called. Available now as early preview.
