SAP Build gains AI capabilities to help build autonomous agents

Joule will also be integrated into SAP Build Work Zone, a low-code tool for creating web sites. Joule’s generative AI capabilities will provide support while navigating data from connected business systems. All this will be available in SAP Build Work Zone standard edition, the SAP Start site, and the SAP Mobile Start app.

New capabilities such as code explanation and documentation search in SAP Build Code will assist Java and JavaScript developers, who will also be able to automate workflows in SAP Build Process Automation, with assistance from generative AI.

Early next year, SAP plans to extend Joule to help developers using ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming), SAP’s high-level programming language, to generate high-quality code and unit tests that comply with SAP’s ABAP Cloud development model. Joule will also be able to generate explanations for legacy code, to ease the path to modernizing legacy codebases and the migration to a “clean core”, a modern ERP system without hard-coded customizations.
