SAP has quietly announced something big coming to the SAP Build ecosystem: Joule Studio, set to be available on June 30.

Based on SAP’s initial community blog and early demo videos, Joule Studio appears to be a new low-code environment for building, deploying, and managing AI agents and reusable automation skills - bringing a new level of intelligence and adaptability to SAP Build Process Automation.

What could be Joule Studio?

Joule Studio could be a new SAP Build component allowing companies to create AI-driven "skills" for Joule, requiring no developer background. While full details are still limited, Joule Studio feels somewhat comparable to Microsoft’s Copilot Studio. That said, this is still speculative - we’ll know more once it’s live.

What We Know So Far

Here are a few of the key features that stand out:

• Skills & Agents: You can define reusable skills (e.g. "get delivery status") and build intelligent agents that orchestrate them, make decisions, and interact with users if needed.

• Business Context: Agents are grounded in your SAP business data, making their actions more relevant and reliable.

• LLM Flexibility: One of the more intriguing aspects is that you’ll reportedly be able to choose which LLM (large language model) to use for your agents - offering flexibility around performance, privacy, and vendor preferences.

• Low-Code Interface: Designed to be accessible to business users and developers a like, Joule Studio fits naturally into the SAP Build family.

• Effective Monitoring: Tools for tracking and managing AI solution performance.

Why This Matters?

If SAP delivers on the vision, Joule Studio could significantly extend what’s possible in process automation. It opens the door to smarter, more adaptable automations - where agents can handle more complex workflows, respond dynamically to changing data, and engage users when needed.

• Accelerate innovation with custom AI.

• Save time on repetitive tasks.

• Ensure consistent processes.

• Empower teams with AI, removing technical barriers.

• Drive hyperautomation via multi-step workflow orchestration for efficiency.

Final Thoughts

We’re still waiting on some key information (pricing, licensing, and the fit within existing SAP Build plans), but the concept is exciting. SAP Joule Studio could usher in a new era of AI-powered automation, letting users bring ideas to life without waiting for developers.

June 30 is near, we're eager to see Joule Studio's full potential.
