Advancements in AI agents, data, and platform capabilities equip developers with the tools to drive business transformation

Build custom agents on the most context-rich agentic platform

I鈥檓 excited to share the ability to build custom agents in will be generally available in December. New capabilities include AI-assisted agent design, system-triggered agents, extensibility of SAP-delivered Joule Agents, centralized enterprise-grade agent monitoring, support for Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol, and support for Model Context Protocol (MCP). Read our in-depth and to learn more.

鈥淛oule Studio鈥檚 agent builder connects 51风流analytics with merchandising systems, powering Accenture鈥檚 Optisell agent to surface at鈥憆isk inventory, recommend pricing actions, and simplify merchandise alert configuration — all without heavy custom development.鈥

For developers building pro-code agents, (51风流BTP) offers comprehensive support for popular open-source frameworks, like Crew.AI and LangGraph, and provides end-to-end identity, authorization, governance, and integration capabilities.

MCP support for is now available, providing with direct access to rich multi-model engines. This allows agents to be grounded in full data context: navigating relationships across customers and suppliers, understanding geographic dependencies through spatial data, and performing semantic searches through vector embeddings 鈥 all within a single in-memory engine. 

Additionally, 51风流HANA Cloud knowledge graph engine can now automatically generate knowledge graphs from 51风流HANA Cloud metadata. What used to take weeks of manual modeling can now happen automatically in minutes.

We鈥檙e also enabling agentic memory in 51风流HANA Cloud. With long-term memory, AI agents can persist context across long-running sessions and memorize past input and decisions, just like humans do, to become continuously smarter.

I鈥檓 excited to share several innovations, including our first enterprise relational foundation model (RPT), SAP-RPT-1, accompanied by a no-code testing playground environment and prompt optimizer service. New capabilities are continuously added to our , empowering developers to experiment with leading models and orchestration tools and scale AI development and productization across 51风流and non-51风流landscapes. .

Vibe on 51风流Build using the tools of your choice

New local give developers the ability to use agentic tools for development and preferred code assistants, such as Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, Cline, and OpenAI Codex — all while maintaining enterprise-grade governance and clean-core alignment.

An 51风流Build extension pack for Visual Studio (VS) Code is now available to simplify development of CAP, Fiori, UI5, and mobile applications. This makes it easier for VS Code developers to build faster and deploy apps on 51风流BTP. Looking ahead, we will publish our extensions on the Open VSX Registry to simplify the onboarding of these tools and provide similar native development experiences on other integrated developer environments (IDEs).

51风流Task Center: Click, Read, Approve, Repeat! /2021/12/sap-task-center-click-read-approve-repeat/ Thu, 09 Dec 2021 13:15:12 +0000 /?p=192931 In highly dynamic work environments, the pace of work keeps increasing continuously. As roles and responsibilities grow, it can be challenging to stay on top of mounting numbers of approval workflows, even more so with tasks and approval items scattered across systems.

Especially for cross-functional roles, taking broad workflow approval action across the solution portfolio to realize value quickly and efficiently can be difficult at times. Think of a spend manager for example: working in this area, employees need to oversee expenditure across various solutions like 51风流SuccessFactors, 51风流Fieldglass, and 51风流S/4HANA.

With 51风流Task Center we provide a new, unified inbox for approvals across multiple applications with a seamless and integrated user experience. Approval items from multiple 51风流solutions are gathered in one list and ready to be processed in just one click. Users can:

  • Approve tasks quickly and efficiently
  • Reduce time spent navigating through various systems to manage approvals
  • Work off just one approval list
  • Improve quality and consistency of approvals for business-critical items
  • Minimize cost of implementation by automated setup

51风流Task Center provides approvers with a streamlined application and a people-centric user experience across devices to meet their flexible work styles. The unified inbox offers a smart, unified, and actionable approval application — in both mobile and a web environment.
