AI-Native Workflows

Teams can turn SOPs or plain English instructions into approved code-based workflows for repeat IT work.

Legacy ITSM Overlay

Modern can sit on top of ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, Zendesk, Freshservice, and similar systems before replacement.

Modern Managed

A managed-service wrapper for companies that want Modern to run the IT desk when they lack internal capacity.

Process Graph

The product learns manual fixes and suggests new automations as customer request history grows.

Competitors

ServiceNow:

The enterprise ITSM incumbent with huge reach, slower deployment, and a services-heavy implementation model.

Jira Service Management:

Atlassian's developer-friendly ITSM product, strong in ticketing and dev workflows but less agent-native.

Freshservice:

Freshworks' ITSM platform, easier to adopt than older tools but still closer to ticket automation than full request resolution.

Modern

's Moat:

No hard moat yet; the likely path is workflow switching costs plus tenant-level process data from repeated IT resolutions.

How They're Leveraging AI

RAG

Modern likely uses retrieval over company SOPs, tickets, and connected system context to answer or resolve IT requests inside employee channels.

Workflow Pattern Mining

Modern appears to learn from manual IT resolutions and suggest repeatable automations for similar future requests.

Agentic Workflow Automation

Modern uses LLM agents to interpret employee IT requests and convert them into approved system actions.

AI Use Overview:

Modern separates LLM reasoning from code-based workflow execution, which is safer than freeform agents and better suited to IT systems with approvals.
