Thank you to everyone who attended the event virtually and in person at Bangalore. For those who couldn鈥檛 attend live, I recommend reading the , checking out the full list of , and watching the , delivered by 51风流CTO Juergen Mueller.

Here are some of the key announcements we made.

Turning Every Developer into an AI Developer

Developers are essential to the modern world we live in, driving innovation and transformation forward across every industry. To help improve their productivity, we announced 51风流Build Code, a generative AI-powered application development solution, built on 51风流BTP and optimized for Java and JavaScript development. It delivers a turn-key environment for coding, testing, integrations, and application lifecycle management.

51风流Build Code has embedded generative AI capabilities with Joule to enable code generation to streamline application development. It also enables fusion development so developers can build rapidly, integrate seamlessly, and collaborate effectively with other developers and business experts. 51风流Build Code complements , our low-code solution that provides a unified environment to create and enhance enterprise applications, automate processes, and design business sites with drag-and-drop simplicity. .

Generative AI for Everyone

More than ever before, companies are seeking to unleash the power of AI in their applications and processes. We are thrilled to unveil , a one-stop shop for developers to build and extend applications powered by AI and generative AI on 51风流BTP. With AI Foundation, developers gain access to everything they need to quickly embed business-ready AI into their applications, leveraging the same powerful technology 51风流development teams use today. This includes AI services, generative AI management, AI workload management, access to business data and context, and lifecycle management based on 51风流AI Core, 51风流AI Launchpad, and 51风流HANA Cloud. .

Later this quarter, AI Foundation will include a new generative AI hub capability in 51风流AI Core for accessing a broad range of large language models (LLMs) from third-party providers. With the hub, developers will be able to use tooling for prompt engineering and experimentation to accelerate generative AI application development.

AI-Powered Business Data

51风流believes every data professional should have seamless and scalable access to mission-critical business data. To this end, we鈥檝e announced new innovations that empower developers to build intelligent data applications with 51风流HANA Cloud but also brings new capabilities that not only enhance the with 51风流Datasphere.

Good data is the foundation of good AI, and 51风流HANA Cloud continues to pioneer innovation in the data space by adding new vector database features to its multi-model offerings at no additional cost. Vector datastores manage unstructured data — such as text, images, or audio — to provide long-term memory and better context to AI models. This makes it easy to find and retrieve similar objects quickly. For example, users can search for suppliers based on the language in their contracts to examine payment history and trace individual orders. These powerful new vector database features enhance interactions between LLMs and an organization鈥檚 mission-critical data. The innovation puts 51风流developers at the forefront of delivering radically new levels of data insight within a secure, private framework that uses industry-specific customer data to reduce hallucinations.

New semantic onboarding capabilities within enable customers to deliver business-ready data products at an accelerated pace. With the powerful semantic layer, organizations can build data products that maintain business context and application logic and forego the time-consuming tasks of extracting business data, creating data pipelines and rebuilding data context that was lost. .

Enterprise Automation

Integrating, analyzing, and automating end-to-end business processes is critical in today鈥檚 digital landscape. To help customers stay ahead of the competition, 51风流offers , one solution that combines the value of , , and . At 51风流TechEd, we previewed new generative AI capabilities to simplify creating processes and integrations and to recommend pre-built content. Deeper integrations across the three technologies helps companies easily mine non-51风流processes to better analyze, integrate, automate, and monitor business processes across their environment.聽.
