At 麻豆原创 TechEd in 2026, 麻豆原创 announced a series of innovations in Joule Work, Joule Studio, and 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform.

From building and extending AI agents to connecting business data and governing AI experiences, see how 麻豆原创 helps customers move towards the Autonomous Enterprise. Hear 麻豆原创 leaders and industry voices share what鈥檚 new, their perspectives, and more.

In 1996 麻豆原创 held its first event for developers. Thirty years later in Berlin, 麻豆原创 CTO Philipp Herzig told the 麻豆原创 TechEd keynote audience, 鈥淲e are experiencing the biggest and fastest technological shift in our lifetime.鈥�

鈥淔or decades developers have been building systems in a structured, deterministic way. But the world for builders has changed tremendously with AI,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t changes what’s possible. This is what 麻豆原创 TechEd is all about: combining both classical and new technologies that unlock the magic for business and provide endless opportunities to innovate.鈥�

From vision to execution

Underscoring his point, Herzig noted that during the 麻豆原创 Sapphire conference earlier this year, the company 鈥減ut out a bold vision to enable the Autonomous Enterprise, re-imagining every business process end-to-end with AI. And just like 30 years ago, the whole tech stack is shifting.鈥�

For 麻豆原创, this is reflected in Joule Work and the new 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform. Herzig described Joule Work as a 鈥済roundbreaking new way to experience software鈥� that taps into 麻豆原创鈥檚 five autonomous domains and assistants that reason and act across 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 data, and 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform as 鈥渢he foundation where you build and extend agents, manage all your data, and govern AI experiences.鈥�

Designed for better business outcomes

Elaborating, he emphasized that 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform 鈥渋sn鈥檛 just another tech platform, it鈥檚 specifically designed to build better business outcomes, deliver faster time-to-value and better price performance.鈥� In addition, it is enterprise-readiness from day one: secure, governed, and compliant, 鈥渁ll made possible through our unique context layer built on 50 years of domain and industry expertise.鈥�

Together, Joule Work and 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform underpin 麻豆原创鈥檚 commitment to build the Autonomous Enterprise. 鈥淎nd it鈥檚 here today,鈥� Herzig told the audience. 鈥淲e are excited to show you our latest updates at 麻豆原创 TechEd.鈥�

For the rest of the keynote, Herzig and his 麻豆原创 colleagues鈥攊ncluding 麻豆原创 Chief AI Officer Jonathan von Rueden; Manoj Swaminathan, president and chief product officer for 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite; Tina Berlin, head of AI Foundation EU at 麻豆原创; Michelle Niedernhuber, lead product manager for 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub; and Soeren Ruder, chief product officer and global head of Customer Experience & Solutions鈥攄etailed these updates and demonstrated them on stage.

Joule Work

Beginning with Joule Work, Herzig said 麻豆原创 had re-designed the user experience from the ground up: 鈥淎ll to make it more delightful and intuitive to use than ever. One starting point. One experience.鈥�

Joule Work now connects all 麻豆原创 applications as well as Office365, Claude Cowork, Glean, and ServiceNow out of the box. It remembers preferences and context from past interactions and continuously adapts. In addition to the conversational interface, shareable spaces that dynamically assemble data into interactive applications are also available.

The keynote speakers described Joule Work as a redesigned, cross-application AI experience available everywhere, including web, desktop, mobile, voice, and even Apple CarPlay. And they noted that Joule Work has been tested for months by more than 110,000 麻豆原创 employees, along with more than 150 customers, who joined the 麻豆原创 Early Adopter Care program, 鈥渁ll so you get the best AI experience.鈥�

One early adopter, Robert Mueller from Bosch Digital, joined Herzig on stage and said his teams had been testing Joule Work, Joule Studio, and the first assistants and agents and that the first user feedback had been positive. 鈥淥ur next step is to bring Joule into daily use,鈥� he said.

麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite

Manoj Swaminathan then took the stage to demonstrate the 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite. 鈥淔or over five decades, 麻豆原创 has built the systems that help you run your business in the best way possible. Continuing that focus, we now deliver out-of-the-box a suite of 麻豆原创-managed assistants and agents across five horizontal domains, with industry specialization.鈥�

鈥淚鈥檓 excited to announce today 40 assistants and 300 agents between 麻豆原创 and our partners for you to explore,鈥� he added. 鈥淭hese give you a baseline for systems of intelligence and systems of action, built around three priorities, delivering: automation, intelligence and insights, and optimizations, with value that can be realized and measured, across reduction in cost, increased productivity, increased speed, improved quality, and more.鈥�

The new assistants include a Financial Consolidation Assistant that can reduce the time to close the books by up to 68%, a Sourcing Assistant that can reduce total cost of ownership by 15%, and a Supplier Management Assistant that detects and responds to supplier risk 60% faster.

鈥淔or these tasks, an answer that is 鈥榩robable鈥� is just not good enough,鈥� Swaminathan said. 鈥淵ou need the right answer, every single time, and they need to be compliant and traceable. That is what these assistants and agents uniquely enable, because every single one of these agents are ISO and SOC compliant.鈥�

麻豆原创 Business AI Platform

He noted that every agent is natively an Agent to Agent (A2A) endpoint, connected through 麻豆原创鈥檚 A2A gateway, and the platform supports extensions by default. 鈥淔or you as a builder, we鈥檝e made available the 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform, the foundation the 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite is built on, so you can build to whatever your requirements are in Joule Studio.鈥�

鈥淵ou might ask, 鈥業’m already doing this with support from public models, why build on top of 麻豆原创鈥檚 Business AI Platform?鈥� Because a public model does not know your processes, your master data or your company. 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform does,鈥� Swaminathan shared. 鈥淥ur AI agents are embedded in the deterministic workflows of our applications. They deliver the one true answer as they run on the same data, following the same rules, and leave the same audit trail as our applications and you decide the level of autonomy.鈥�

But he pointed out that the 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite does not restrict itself to only back-office operations. 鈥淥ur biggest customers are losing 11% of revenue to unplanned downtime experiences with on-site operations. Customers understand the problem but there hasn’t been a solution that responds to these challenges until now.鈥�

Physical AI by 麻豆原创

To address this issue, Swaminathan announced physical AI by 麻豆原创, which extends the Autonomous Enterprise into the physical world, turning business decisions into physical action, and bringing verified outcomes back into 麻豆原创 in a secure and governed way.

During an on-stage appearance, Ricky Watts, who runs the Industrial and Robotics Division of Intel, said the company is already running physical AI at its operational site in Chengdu, where 麻豆原创 warehouse management is driving autonomous robots closing the loop, writing outcomes back into 麻豆原创 as live transactions.

Jonathan von Rueden then took over the keynote stage to talk about the more than 300 standard Joule agents across the suite and how Joule Work and skills can adapt and customize standard agents to get the most from AI. If you want to go further still, he said, 鈥淛oule Studio is just one click away.鈥�

Joule Studio: Extend, build, and integrate your agents

Joule Studio, 麻豆原创’s agent-building platform, lets anyone customize AI with a skill: a natural language description and a few lines of code defining what an agent should do, opening agent-building beyond developers.

If you want to go deeper, and need to know where to begin, the Process Consulting Agent identifies where and what to build before development begins. “Just say what you want to get it done,” said von Rueden. 麻豆原创 Knowledge Graph finds the relevant APIs, MCP servers, and data products, and Joule Studio generates the specifications, structure, and integration logic.

The result: Moving from intent to a working agent takes roughly 2.5 hours instead of 13. Because agents don’t need to guess at requests, they use fewer tokens. “In our testing, that adds up to 50% lower cost per task,” von Rueden told the audience.

“With Joule Studio on 麻豆原创 Business AI platform, we focus on four things: business outcomes, time to value, performance for price, and enterprise readiness with deep integration.”

That last point matters in complex landscapes. With dozens of platforms, data sources, and tools running alongside 麻豆原创 systems, agents need to work across those boundaries safely and with governance, without a custom integration for every new platform.

“You’d expect a certain level of out-of-the-box capabilities and we’ve delivered,” Tina Berlin said. Agent gateway is generally available today, connecting agents and endpoints across any landscape boundary.鈥�

For more complex scenarios requiring rate limiting, routing, protocol translation, and advanced access control, 麻豆原创 is announcing 麻豆原创 Enterprise AI Gateway, built on 麻豆原创 Integration Suite as a natural overlay to agent gateway.

Herzig then returned to the stage to underscore the importance of reliable data for business AI. “Any AI system is only as good as the data it reasons over,” he said, “data that lives in different physical systems, be it 麻豆原创 or non-麻豆原创, on clouds, on-premise, and the edge.”

麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud

鈥淪o how do you bring it together in a consistent, AI-ready way?鈥� The answer, Herzig said, is 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud, which provides customers with universal business context across their entire multi-cloud landscape. 鈥淎nd thousands of customers are benefitting from the outcomes, time to value, and lower cost already today.鈥�

In addition, he announced that the full scope of the entire Databricks platform will now be available natively in 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud. This means that data from different systems can now be combined into a 鈥済olden鈥� master record, providing customers with a unified, AI-ready data foundation.

麻豆原创 executives also introduced a new 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud Ontology Manager, available as beta. With it, customers can enrich 麻豆原创 Knowledge Graph with their industry-specific concepts or build entire ontologies.

A new Governance Assistant ensures compliance with EU regulation, while agent observability, and 麻豆原创 Signavio agent mining close the loop between agent design and production behavior to deliver governance. Runtime verification enforcement ensures that agents not verified in 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub cannot be invoked.

Governance

All of it is 麻豆原创-managed with governance built in: ISO and SOC compliant, runtime enforced, with every agent testable and traceable via 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub. And the new 麻豆原创 Enterprise AI Gateway delivers policy enforcement, enhanced observability, and runtime controls all in one place.

鈥淔or AI governance we need to connect the design time layer where we define, assess and verify an agent with the runtime layer that enforces, monitors and optimizes agent behavior,鈥� Michelle Niedernhuber said.

With the EU AI Act now in force, 麻豆原创 is releasing the AI Governance Assistant for the 麻豆原创 Early Adopter Care program customers in November, she shared. The assistant uses existing information, guides the agent owner through the remaining questions, and produces an audit-ready AI risk classification.

Together, 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub and 麻豆原创 Enterprise AI Gateway serve as the design and runtime integration layer that connects oversight with enforcement. By connecting oversight, runtime enforcement, and continuous improvement, 麻豆原创 gives enterprises confidence that their agents operate as intended.

鈥淕overnance is not what slows AI adoption,鈥� Niedernhuber noted. 鈥淚t is what makes AI adoption at scale possible.鈥�

AI proven under pressure: 麻豆原创 brings AI to space

Rounding out the keynote, Herzig announced that together with partner Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), 鈥溌槎乖� is taking our tabular foundation models, 麻豆原创-RPT and TabPFN, for real-time predictions in space to put AI to work under extreme conditions.鈥�

In space, a delayed decision can mean the difference between system safety and total loss. 麻豆原创’s AI enables faster decision-making and earlier failure prediction, when the stakes are highest.

Herzig explained how the foundation models analyze live hardware telemetry, identify sensor degradation, and reconstruct missing readings in real time. The outcome is a structured report recommending actions to the spaceship crew or ground staff on what to do to prevent a problem from becoming a crisis.

鈥淣ow, if we can run predictions like this in one of the most unforgiving environments, think about what this means for your operations here on Earth. That鈥檚 AI proven under pressure,鈥� Herzig said, bringing the keynote to a close.

International Space Station鈥檚 use of tabular AI and expanded partnerships demonstrate the art of the possible with 麻豆原创 AI

BERLIN 鈥� (NYSE: 麻豆原创) today announced a series of AI innovations at its annual 麻豆原创 TechEd conference that expands its portfolio for developers.

The enhancements to the Joule Studio and Joule Work solutions and 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform, including the latest tabular foundation model from 麻豆原创, offer new tools to build and extend AI agents, a richer data and business context for those agents to reason with, and strengthened governance controls to run them responsibly across the enterprise.

麻豆原创 Business AI Platform gives organizations one place to build, contextualize and govern AI across 麻豆原创 and third-party environments. With Joule Studio, business users and developers can use no-code and pro-code tools to build and extend agents, choosing from more than 70 AI models. Customers in the Joule Studio early adopter program also can design and run n8n workflows in Joule Studio, with broader availability to follow. The 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud and 麻豆原创 Knowledge Graph solutions ground those agents in trusted business data and context, helping organizations select the right model for each use case and better manage AI value and consumption. Importantly, 麻豆原创 customers鈥� data remains their data. 麻豆原创 does not share customer data with anyone to train or improve large language models.

鈥溌槎乖� TechEd has always been where builders shape what comes next,鈥� said Philipp Herzig, CTO of 麻豆原创 SE. 鈥淭his year, we are showing how we are moving from AI learning your business to running it. Joule Work is where you put your intent and get work done, in one experience across the entire 麻豆原创 landscape and beyond. That is the shift we are delivering at scale. Everything underneath runs on 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform, delivering faster time to value through out-of-the-box business understanding, higher accuracy, enterprise-readiness that is secure, governed and compliant from the first deployment, and a unique context layer built on over 50 years of process and industry expertise, encoded into every agent action. This is AI built where real work happens.鈥�

Joule Work and Joule Studio Make the Autonomous Enterprise Real

New capabilities for Joule Work will help make AI agents more effective at handling complex business processes via open protocols including Agent2Agent (A2A) and Model Context Protocol (MCP). These innovations advance Joule Work to better understand context, make decisions and execute multistep business workflows across enterprise systems and business domains:

• New agentic thinking capabilities that plan and orchestrate the steps assistants and agents need to reliably complete complex, multistep business workflows across 麻豆原创 landscapes.
• New capabilities in 麻豆原创 Knowledge Graph will incorporate data from additional 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 sources that are unique to each customer. Users can query and explore their customized data in natural language and get accurate answers grounded in their own information.
• Advancements in interoperability allow third-party agents to securely invoke Joule Agents through a governed agent gateway. This enforced access control enables agents from different providers to collaborate across business workflows without sacrificing governance or control.
• New 麻豆原创 Enterprise AI Gateway solution will extend governance to AI interactions, offering a centralized way to manage AI traffic across the enterprise that will consolidate authentication, policy enforcement, routing, monitoring, usage tracking and auditing.
• New Joule Assistant and 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub expand governance capabilities, and a new AI Governance Assistant helps customers meet compliance requirements for the EU AI Act. These are designed to address critical barriers to scaling enterprise AI: keeping AI systems classified, compliant and operating within defined organizational guardrails and context.

麻豆原创 also announced that Joule Studio has new observability and administrative controls to give developers and administrators visibility into agent behavior, model usage and spend. Joule Studio is 麻豆原创鈥檚 AI-first development environment that is accessible through Joule Work for building and extending enterprise agents. Joule Studio will run a time-bound promotion for select customers, where deploying and running custom agents on the 麻豆原创-managed Joule Studio runtime will remain free through December 2026. The design-time tooling for building and testing agents and n8n workflows with AI-assisted development will remain free under fair-use limits.

麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud as the Grounding Engine of the Autonomous Enterprise

麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud Ontology Manager in 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud (麻豆原创 BDC) will provide an AI-native authoring experience for building ontologies across 麻豆原创 and third-party data. By helping AI understand how data from different teams, systems and applications relate to one another, AI agents can more accurately reason and make decisions across the enterprise. The solutions complement 麻豆原创 Knowledge Graph, which provides rich business context for 麻豆原创 data.

Additionally, 麻豆原创 is expanding its lakehouse capabilities with Dremio, adding native support for Apache Iceberg and Apache Polaris plus a high-performance, federated query engine that will enable unified data access without moving or copying the data. 麻豆原创 expands its partnership with Databricks, bringing the full scope and latest innovations of data engineering and enterprise AI capabilities into 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud as 麻豆原创 Databricks. Core innovations such as Lakeflow, Agent Bricks, Unity Gateway, and Lakebase will help customers to simplify data management and provide a strong data foundation for their AI journey. With a deeper integration to 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud, a new 麻豆原创 Application Data Foundation, as well as an integration between Joule and Genie, 麻豆原创 and Databricks are helping customers establish an enterprise-wide lakehouse as the foundation for the Autonomous Enterprise and Joule Work.

The 麻豆原创 Reltio solution, recently announced at 麻豆原创 Connect, will bring multidomain master data management to 麻豆原创 BDC. It unifies and enriches customer, supplier and product records across 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 systems into trusted, reusable data products that can power applications and AI agents.

Tabular Foundation Model Trusted for Business, Validated in Space

麻豆原创 announced its latest tabular AI model, 麻豆原创-RPT-2.0, which will expand beyond classification and regression to support anomaly and outlier detection, and richer AI-powered analysis through embeddings. These native, multi-table capabilities will further reduce manual engineering while delivering faster, deeper insights from structured data. In addition, a new 麻豆原创-RPT-TS model will help customers predict values across time-indexed business metrics for key forecasting use cases using the 麻豆原创 Integrated Business Planning solution without requiring custom machine learning.

In partnership with HPE, 麻豆原创 also announced the deployment of 麻豆原创-RPT on the HPE Spaceborne Computer-2 aboard the International Space Station (ISS), one of the most significant edge-compute validations of any enterprise AI model to date. 麻豆原创-RPT is planned to run directly onboard the ISS to support anomaly triage, predict issues before failures escalate, reconstruct missing sensor values from historical data, and generate explainable mission-health reports for astronauts and ground teams 鈥� all without requiring data to be sent back to Earth for analysis.

鈥淭he same trusted 麻豆原创-RPT model that powers global supply chains also can work in space,鈥� said Herzig. 鈥溌槎乖粹�檚 deep-rooted, proven expertise has led to the International Space Station鈥檚 use of our tabular foundation model to predict potential mission-critical failures in orbit. With 麻豆原创-RPT and TabPFN from Prior Labs, we bring the unique capabilities of tabular AI into the enterprise and across every frontier.鈥�

Out-of-the-Box Assistants and Agents Define Our Advantage

For five decades, 麻豆原创 has built the systems of record that run your business. We will deliver, out of the box, a suite of assistants and agents across five horizontal domains all running on 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform 鈥� with industry specialization 鈥� that provides a baseline for systems of intelligence and systems of action.

In Q3, we expanded our portfolio of Joule Assistants and introduced dozens of specialized agents that help customers move beyond isolated tasks toward connected, end-to-end execution. The value of AI has always been about what it accomplishes for our customers. Our recent releases help them streamline processes, increase productivity, and build more resilient operations.

Joule is 麻豆原创鈥檚 portfolio-wide AI engagement layer, combining agentic capabilities with 麻豆原创 business applications to help organizations become an Autonomous Enterprise. Through Joule Work, the new UI for AI, people describe what they want to achieve, get relevant insights, build app-less spaces personalized to their needs, and take action across connected business systems. When it鈥檚 time to execute, Joule Work selects the right Joule Assistant for the job. These assistants act as domain experts, bringing knowledge of roles and processes to the task at hand. They orchestrate specialized Joule Agents to execute tasks, using business context and data, respecting established authorizations, and maintaining audit trails. People set the direction, assistants coordinate agents, and agents carry out work with proper oversight and governance.

For example, billing teams can create invoices, identify anomalies, and resolve posting errors with the Billing Assistant and its agents. Supply chain planners can detect critical shortages earlier, assess trade-offs between service levels and inventory investment, and coordinate responses with the Supply Chain Planning Assistant. Maintenance teams can turn asset signals into coordinated maintenance action, helping address problems before they become larger operational disruptions. People retain oversight and control, while assistants and agents help reduce manual effort.

Customers are already putting these capabilities to work. PwC is using 麻豆原创鈥檚 Billing Assistant to help identify potential issues earlier, supporting better client outcomes. Novartis has launched a pilot of the Sourcing Assistant to help sourcing professionals focus on strategy, supplier engagement, and value creation.

鈥淎gents bring consistency and speed to work that previously required a lot of manual effort and coordination,鈥� , head of Procurement at Novartis. He expects improvements of 25% faster cycle times and a 35% uplift in FTE productivity.

As organizations adopt more agents, they need a clear view of their AI landscape. 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub provides a central inventory of 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 agents, helping teams keep track of and govern their growing agent portfolio. With 麻豆原创 Signavio agent mining and the Process Consulting Agent, we enable customers to identify their biggest opportunities for agentic AI and execute on them right away. This visibility supports a more coordinated approach to managing AI adoption across the business.

With Joule Studio, accessible through Joule Work, customers can create agents tailored to their business and extend 麻豆原创 standard agents with their own instructions. Browser-based tools and pro-code development options support different levels of technical expertise, while testing, versioning, and deployment turn ideas into agents that take action. This lets customers extend 麻豆原创鈥檚 capabilities to meet their business requirements.

Now, let鈥檚 dive into recent innovation.

Please note that this article covers only AI offerings released since July 1, 2026.

Joule

Joule Work

Employees can spend less time navigating applications and more time turning information into outcomes with Joule Work, which is available on desktop, in-app, web, and mobile. Joule Work, the new UI for AI, connects local and cloud environments, bringing conversational AI closer to the files, information, and business tools employees use every day. Employees can work with local files and folders in a secure sandbox environment, access current information through integrated web search, and connect to 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 applications using Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools and Agent-to-Agent (a2a) integrations. Custom and corporate skills help streamline repetitive tasks, while local data and connected tools support faster creation of presentations, summaries, and other assets. And where a skill is not enough, the 麻豆原创 Knowledge Graph kicks in to search the entire space of business objects available to users for deeper transactional and analytical queries. Together, these capabilities reduce manual information analysis and help employees focus on higher-value work.

Dynamic workspaces, which we refer to as spaces, bring together insights, applications, Joule Assistants, and agents to support business workflows. Employees express what they want to accomplish, and Joule Assistants coordinate specialized agents to carry out the work. This effectively initiates the journey into a world where generative UI delivers an ultimate personalized experience to any end user. Joule Studio complements this experience with capabilities to build, deploy, and govern custom agents and workflows.

Early adopter feedback shows how this experience is changing the way employees interact with business information. Reinhausen, a global technology leader in electrical grid technologies, joined the Joule Work desktop early adopter program to support its AI journey. 鈥淲hat once required up to an hour of manual effort across our 麻豆原创 S/4HANA environment is now accessible in seconds through natural language, fundamentally changing how our teams interact with business data,鈥� said Peter Wied, director of Complexity Management at Reinhausen.

Customers are also using custom assistants to bring expertise closer to employees. Warehouse automation company KNAPP used Joule Studio to build an assistant that helps workers identify and resolve problems without waiting for an expert, reducing issue resolution times by about 90% and time spent on documentation and training by about 80%.

Autonomous SCM

Product Design Assistant

• Change Record Management Agent
• Product Data Maintenance Agent
• Product Structure Optimization Agent

Design engineers and product managers can bring products to market faster and avoid costly rework with the Product Design Assistant. It connects data across design, engineering, compliance, and downstream processes, analyzing designs, recipes, and product information to surface insights. It also flags issues early and checks materials and requirements against internal rules and regulations. Three agents released in Q3 strengthen the foundations of product development. Engineers can keep product master data accurate with the Product Data Maintenance Agent, while the Product Structure Optimization Agent consistently optimizes bills of material across product views to reduce costs. When designs need to be changed, the Change Record Management Agent identifies similar change records affecting the same product and proposes a new draft version to initiate the change process. This reduces delays caused by fragmented change data and improves governance and traceability.

The result is faster, more confident design decisions and higher product quality, with estimated benefits including a 19% reduction in product design costs, a 10% increase in prototype success, a five percent reduction in cost of goods sold from design improvements, and a 12% reduction in tooling and material waste costs.

The general availability for Product Design Assistant is now underway in a phased approach.

Logistics Assistant

• Batch Optimization Agent
• Warehouse Workload Optimization Agent
• Fixed Bin Maintenance Agent
• Material Reservation Processing Agent

Warehouse and logistics teams can keep operations running smoothly from inbound shipments to outbound deliveries with the Logistics Assistant. It senses disruptions as they happen and coordinates detection, planning, and execution across warehousing and transportation, managing decisions on labor, inventory, dispatch, and freight. Four agents released in Q3 focus on warehouse execution. Supervisors can match staff to demand and spot potential resource shortages early with the Warehouse Workload Optimization Agent. The Fixed Bin Maintenance Agent adjusts bins and replenishment as demand changes. On the inventory side, the Batch Optimization Agent monitors batch expiration and triggers actions to reduce waste. The Material Reservation Processing Agent lets users manage material reservations in natural language, with built-in human review. Together, these capabilities shorten the time from plan to execution, improve resilience to disruption, and lower the cost to serve by reducing expedites and inventory waste.

Generative AI hub enhancements

麻豆原创-RPT-1.6
麻豆原创-RPT-1.6, now available on generative AI hub, is our latest model in the 麻豆原创-RPT family. It delivers the strongest gains in prediction quality to date, particularly for high-cardinality classification, and is validated across 197 real-world enterprise tasks.

• Explainability: Available in all 麻豆原创-RPT-1.6 variants, this includes column-level feature importances and the ability to surface specific historical rows most influential to each prediction, giving business users and decision-makers a clearer basis for trusting and acting on AI-driven outputs.
• Deep Context Mode: Only available in 麻豆原创-RPT-1.6-large, this allows the model to draw on significantly larger reference datasets to improve prediction quality. It is intended for use cases with large historical data, such as invoice records spanning multiple fiscal years or product catalogs in the tens of thousands. This mode trades higher latency and cost for higher accuracy, and can be enabled via a single parameter in the prediction configuration.

Tabular Orchestration
Tabular Orchestration, now available on generative AI hub, is a new managed workflow for 麻豆原创-RPT models. It handles context management and data access, thereby removing the need to build and maintain custom data pipelines. Teams register their data source and scenario configuration once at design time. Every inference is a single API call, with the workflow automatically handling data ingestion and context selection before routing the prediction request to the specified 麻豆原创-RPT model. This setup is designed to easily carry forward as the workflow expands to support additional tabular foundation models beyond 麻豆原创-RPT in future releases.

Prior Labs’ TabPFN-3.5-Plus
Business analysts and AI teams can turn structured business data into actionable predictions faster with TabPFN-3.5 Plus, now available in 麻豆原创 AI Core. Developed by Prior Labs, an 麻豆原创 company, the tabular foundation model helps organizations predict outcomes such as payment delays, supplier risks, customer churn, and upsell opportunities鈥攚ithout task-specific model training or tuning. Unlike large language models, which excel at language and knowledge tasks, TabPFN-3.5 Plus is purpose-built for the rows and columns that underpin critical business decisions.

The model works with data as it exists in business systems, handling missing values, mixed data types, and inconsistent fields without preprocessing. Through in-context learning, it uses labeled examples to make predictions from raw tabular data, including columns containing thousands of distinct values, such as product codes or customer identifiers. This reduces the manual preparation and trial-and-error configuration associated with traditional machine learning, helping teams move from business data to predictions in minutes.

For customers, this means a faster path to predictive insights with less model-development effort. Finance teams can anticipate payment delays, procurement teams can assess supplier risks, and customer-facing teams can identify churn risks and upsell opportunities. By making prediction more accessible, TabPFN-3.5 Plus helps organizations use their structured data to inform decisions and act earlier on emerging risks and opportunities.

has been developing innovative products for the energy market for over 100 years. Sustained high demand and long-term growth prospects create a dynamic environment for innovation.

The company also innovates with AI. They use it within their products to create customer value and to automate manual processes for employees. And they are adding more automation to help them meet growing demand amid skilled labor shortages. Reinhausen鈥檚 expertise in AI innovation is among the reasons the company joined 麻豆原创鈥檚 early adopter program for Joule Work.

鈥淧artnering within the Early Adopter Program for Joule Work Desktop has delivered more momentum in just a few months than we saw in all the years before,鈥� said Peter Wied, Director of Complexity Management at Reinhausen. 鈥淲e see huge potential in making access to our 麻豆原创 S/4HANA data significantly easier and faster through natural language. This has the potential to permanently transform how our teams interact with business data.鈥�

AI that answers complex business questions while running agent-driven workflows at scale

Soon, all 麻豆原创 customers will enjoy the benefits of Joule Work when it rolls out later this month. We built it because the promise of AI goes far beyond text generation and fact-finding. It can help people make better decisions, informed by their data, and get answers to complex questions. 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform ensures those answers are all grounded in the context of how a specific business runs.

These are advantages companies can only get from 麻豆原创 because 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform encodes decades of process and industry knowledge right into our applications, knowledge graph, and Joule Work. The platform also combines best-in-class third-party models with 麻豆原创鈥檚 own foundation models for ABAP code generation and predictions on structured data, alongside 麻豆原创鈥檚 proprietary domain models, which are pre-trained on 麻豆原创’s code, data models, and business processes.

This means every AI interaction can draw on the model best suited for the task鈥攚hether that’s generating clean code, predicting a business outcome, or answering a process question鈥攚ith the accuracy and cost-efficiency that business-critical work demands. And through 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud, Joule Work accesses all the data it needs from a single unified source that breaks down silos and unifies data across 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 sources.

Now, is generally available in 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud. It helps organizations eliminate fragmented records with a single trusted view of customers, suppliers, products, and employees across 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 systems.

But we know sharper decisions and reliable business answers are only part of the equation. Organizations need AI to take action and coordinate work across all their business processes. Earlier this year, Deloitte more than 500 leaders and found 74% said they would redesign or rebuild almost half of their business processes around AI agents.

Through the 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite, 麻豆原创 provides a library of reliable, ready-to-use Joule Agents across every business function, so companies can hit the ground running. And Joule Work brings the most powerful business AI orchestration engine in the industry to run those agentic workflows at scale.

Build and connect anything

Joule Work and the 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform provide an out-of-the-box competitive advantage for the AI era, but every company has its own unique advantages that should be strategically extended. This is why Joule Work鈥檚 Develop capability provides access to Joule Studio, soon to be generally available.

In Joule Studio, customers can customize and build Joule Agents with tools that embed process context and semantically rich data. They can also connect third-party systems with open standards because Joule Studio leverages over 11,800 pre-built business accelerators. Joule Studio is more than five times faster than do-it-yourself options, according to benchmarking done by .

With Joule Studio, anyone can describe what they want to build in natural language, while developers can use pro-code tools all in the same environment. New agents are deployed directly into Joule Work and inherit 麻豆原创 security and governance.

Warehouse automation company KNAPP used Joule Studio to build an that helps workers identify and solve problems without waiting for an expert. Issue resolution times have dropped by about 90%, while documentation and training times fell by about 80%.

In our industry, AI is not the future anymore; it is already happening. And that is exactly what our AI delivery pilot demonstrates every day. Our partnership with 麻豆原创 makes complexity simple. When a problem appears on the warehouse floor, 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform helps us solve it in seconds.

Florian Aufegger, Senior 麻豆原创 EWM Solution Consultant, KNAPP AG

As organizations build and deploy more agents, governance also has to evolve from compliance checkpoints to an integral part of the entire agent life cycle. Trust remains the biggest barrier to AI adoption for 71% of technology buyers, according to . This is why , now generally available, helps organizations govern every agent, LLM, and MCP server across 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 environments. New capabilities, including 麻豆原创 Signavio Agent Mining, measure the outcomes every agent delivers and identify opportunities to further optimize those outcomes.

Start scaling AI, and your business outcomes, today

BCG’s latest found that the companies farthest ahead scaling AI deliver 2.4 times the revenue growth and 2.8 times the EBITDA growth of those falling behind.

Our customers, Reinhausen and KNAPP, show what that looks like up close: an hour of manual work reduced to seconds, and problems on the warehouse floor solved without waiting for an expert. Our goal is to make results like these repeatable for every 麻豆原创 customer.

At , 麻豆原创 showcased the Autonomous Enterprise in action, including Joule Work, 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite, and 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform.

麻豆原创 launched the Autonomous Enterprise at 麻豆原创 Sapphire in 2026. At this year鈥檚 麻豆原创 Connect, customers are weighing in on how they鈥檙e using it and how much farther they can go with it. Customers like Novartis, Nestle, and more are actually showing proof of the results. Trust and business context are key factors when it comes to reliable AI systems, and by its innovations built inside 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite, 麻豆原创 is proving this is the beginning of better.

Get all the news: .听

鈥淚t’s time to show you the Autonomous Enterprise in action underpinned by great customer stories,鈥� 麻豆原创 CEO Christian Klein told his keynote audience at the start of the event.  

Klein reminded the audience that 麻豆原创 introduced the Autonomous Enterprise at its 麻豆原创 Sapphire conference in May 2026 as 鈥渢he beginning of better.鈥� Since then, he said, 麻豆原创 has worked with hundreds of customers to implement Joule Work as the AI engagement layer for the Autonomous Enterprise. 

A new UI for AI 

鈥淭his month, we are rolling out Joule Work for all customers,鈥� Klein said, describing it as a new UI for AI. He noted that for decades, users had to learn how 麻豆原创 worked, but with Joule Work, 麻豆原创 learns how people work. 鈥淔rom now on, the more than 400 million 麻豆原创 users can talk in their own language to 麻豆原创, and Joule Work gets the job done.鈥� 

Click the button below to load the content from YouTube.

Klein explained that Joule Work is based on three pillars: conversations, where users ask questions and delegate tasks to agents; spaces, which display content, insights, and shared work; and Joule Studio, where customers extend Joule or build agents tailored to their own processes.   

He called 麻豆原创鈥檚 deep business and data context its 鈥渟ecret sauce.鈥� That context includes 麻豆原创 Knowledge Graph, which maps more than 7 million data fields, 50 million tables, more than 50,000 public and private APIs, 400 data products, and extensive process knowledge. 鈥淭hat’s why Joule doesn’t guess,鈥� he said. 

麻豆原创鈥檚 110,000 employees are already using Joule to perform hundreds of thousands of tasks every day, he shared: 鈥淲e are already seeing productivity gains in central functions like HR, finance, and procurement of over 20% and even bigger gains in more complex analytical and planning tasks.鈥� 

麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite 

Klein then turned his attention to the 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite, the second layer in the Autonomous Enterprise. The suite initially covers five domains: finance, procurement, supply chain, human resources, and customer experience. 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite is designed for work where a good answer is insufficient and 鈥渢he right answer鈥� is required every time, he said.  

鈥淟LMs are probabilistic and only give you the most likely answer,鈥� Klein said. He contrasted that probabilistic approach with 麻豆原创’s embedded agents. Because the agents operate within deterministic application workflows, they use the same data, follow the same rules, and leave the same audit trail as the applications themselves. Customers can choose the level of autonomy appropriate to each process, retaining human approval where risk is high and allowing greater automation for routine work. 

Since 麻豆原创 Sapphire, Klein said 麻豆原创 has created more than 20 Joule Assistants and over 200 Joule Agents, and is aiming for more than 400 agents by year-end. 鈥淏ut the real story isn鈥檛 the number of agents. It鈥檚 the business outcomes they deliver,鈥� he said. 

麻豆原创 Business AI Platform 

鈥淭hese agents can only understand your business so well because of the 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform,鈥� Klein said. 鈥淭he platform gives customers the best frontier model for every agentic use case, the deepest out-of-the-box business context and 麻豆原创-managed governance.鈥�  

Building on Klein鈥檚 remarks, Manoj Swaminathan, president and chief product officer of 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite, described the 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform as the infrastructure that enables the Autonomous Enterprise. The platform is organized around three capabilities: building agents, contextualizing them with business data, and governing how they operate. 

Swaminathan explained how the context layer makes agents more accurate. Joule Studio spans no-code and professional development and offers access to more than 70 models, a strategy he said reduces lock-in and controls token costs.  

鈥淛oule Studio is natively integrated with our context layer,鈥� he said. 鈥淪o, the agents you build are more accurate, faster to deploy, and more efficient to run. Our knowledge graph is the map with the processes, data flows, and business tools. The agents find the right processes among thousands and the right information among over 7 million feeds. 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud brings that understanding to all your data, one consistent view, the processes, policies, and logic to make it meaningful.鈥� 

Swaminathan said no AI can compensate for a broken data model. To help agents understand customers鈥� business rules, 麻豆原创 Domain Models are trained on 麻豆原创鈥檚 code. For predictions, 麻豆原创 provides two engines grounded in how a customer’s business operates: 麻豆原创-RPT, 麻豆原创’s model family trained on its business data, and the Prior Labs tabular AI model.

Jerseys from Jersey 

During his section of the keynote, Jan Gilg, global president of Customer Success & Americas, used an imaginary startup 鈥� 鈥淛erseys from Jersey鈥� 鈥� to invite a handful of customers to the stage to answer his questions and validate aspects of 麻豆原创鈥檚 Autonomous Enterprise strategy.  

The customers included Novartis, which is piloting Joule sourcing agents for bid analysis and negotiation support; Morgan Foods, which described a supply-chain transformation built on 麻豆原创 S/4HANA and 麻豆原创 Integrated Business Planning; Nestl茅, which emphasized the importance of a unified digital core; and 麻豆原创 customer and partner PwC, which spoke about the value of the Industry AI portfolio from 麻豆原创. 

Summing up their comments, Gilg noted that the elements of the 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite 鈥渁re more than a collection of functional components. It鈥檚 one system working together like connective tissue that provides connectivity, context, and control.鈥�

Gilg also made several product announcements, including the launch of 麻豆原创 Pay, an embedded payments service that can automatically execute and reconcile supplier payments once an invoice is approved. He also announced 麻豆原创鈥檚 planned acquisition of TechWolf, a Belgian workforce-intelligence startup designed to help close skills gaps. 

Security and governance 

In the closing section of the keynote, 麻豆原创 Chief Security Officer Marielle Ehrmann focused on trust and governance. She noted that ransomware handovers that once took eight hours now take 22 seconds with AI, and while 83% of enterprises use AI daily, only 13% have real visibility into it.  

鈥淭he biggest threat to companies is not malicious AI; it鈥檚 unmanaged AI,鈥� Ehrmann said. To counter that threat, she said every agent should have a verified owner, a risk tier, and scoped access rights, supported by zero-trust checks on identity, purpose, and data sensitivity as well as human oversight. 

She emphasized that 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform incorporates regulatory and localization requirements, applies user authorizations, keeps customer data from being used to train foundation models, and supports three levels of oversight: human-in-the-loop approval, human-on-the-loop monitoring, and human-in-command override authority. 鈥淭he more autonomously an agent operates, the tighter the oversight applied,鈥� Ehrmann said, calling the principle 鈥渇reedom within boundaries.鈥� 

A clear shift among customers 

Wrapping up the keynote, Klein emphasized that trust is key to everything 麻豆原创 does and has been for over 50 years. 鈥淲e are delivering the most trusted and governed AI in the industry,鈥� he said, but added, 鈥淎I also requires significant change management to ensure it delivers the desired outcomes for your business.鈥� 

That is where 麻豆原创鈥檚 business transformation solutions come in, he said. 麻豆原创 Signavio measures process value before and after a change to help justify token spending; 麻豆原创 LeanIX discovers and tracks AI agents; and 麻豆原创 WalkMe supports user adoption and trust. Klein also highlighted an agent-led migration toolchain. Together, he said, these capabilities mean that the days of multi-million-dollar migration spend are gone.

鈥淭his is no longer the start of something better. This is better,鈥� Klein told the audience. He described a clear shift among 麻豆原创 customers: 鈥淔rom manual steps to connected workflows, from reactive decision-making to predictive insights, from humans in spreadsheets to humans in and on the loop–all powered by our AI platform to keep AI accurate, governed, and extensible.鈥�

And, most importantly, Klein said, 鈥淚ts ready for you today鈥� This is the Autonomous Enterprise.鈥� 

Joule Work, Joule Assistants and 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform help organizations turn business AI into trusted outcomes across every core function.

LAS VEGAS 鈥� (NYSE: 麻豆原创) today showcased the Autonomous Enterprise in action at 麻豆原创 Connect, demonstrating how Joule Work and Joule Assistants generate value for customers across every line of business.

“This is a breakthrough moment for business AI,” said Christian Klein, CEO of 麻豆原创 SE. “The Autonomous Enterprise has arrived. With Joule and 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite, built on 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform, we’re helping organizations like Novartis, Morgan Foods, Nestl茅 and PwC connect intelligence across every function to deliver trusted business outcomes.”

The top team鈥檚 rowers focused entirely on maximizing individual power. If the boat slowed, they rowed harder in isolation, disrupting the oars鈥� synchronized rhythm and creating water drag. Meanwhile, the junior rowers knew they were individually weaker, so they rowed in harmony.

Enterprises have faced countless variations of this problem: implementing systems that maximize productivity at the individual or team level but actively hinder the wider enterprise. Many organizations are experiencing something similar with AI today.

AI and sub-optimization

Sub-optimization is a systemic failure that occurs when the performance of a specific part of a system is maximized, inadvertently hampering the performance of the entire system. There are three intertwined themes: intensity, context, and prediction, which, taken together, explain how AI can sub-optimize an organization by making individuals and local systems stronger while straining the broader organization.

Research reinforces this disconnect between individual or even company-wide AI adoption and the value it delivers. shows near-universal enterprise AI adoption: 89% of respondents report regular AI use in at least one business function, but only 37% report an earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) impact from AI at the enterprise level. Even worse: only six percent of companies can be categorized as high performers that already capture significant organization-wide value from AI.

What makes it so hard to move from AI adoption to measurable value capture? I believe there are three themes that influence a company鈥檚 ability to benefit its entire organization.

Intensity

AI tools often don鈥檛 reduce work; they intensify it. A found that employees who heavily use AI worked faster, took on a broader range of tasks, and worked longer hours, often without being asked. So, what appears to be higher productivity in the short run is actually silent workload creep and mounting pressure as employees manage new AI workflows and do more with less. that the most mentally taxing form of AI engagement was oversight; AI tools that require direct monitoring increased feelings of being overwhelmed by the volume of information at work.

It is easy to see why AI can feel intense: tasks that once required days can now be prompted into existence almost immediately. People start more things; they do more analysis and write more memos. However, like an eight-lane highway that suddenly narrows to a single-lane toll booth, individuals must still consume all this output. This bottleneck only compounds at the organizational level, as all employees produce more than ever, leaving both individuals and the organization as a whole struggling to keep up. Creation has scaled. Absorption has not.

The solution isn鈥檛 necessarily to use less AI, but to change where and how AI shows up. AI should understand user intent and surface the insights needed to answer the question, rather than generating static assets or requiring you to switch between different apps and systems.

If your question creates more things, it鈥檚 not helping absorption. 麻豆原创鈥檚 answer is , a central workspace across 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创 systems that uses AI agents to handle tasks.

Ask, 鈥淲hich stores run out of 65鈥慽nch TVs in the next 72 hours, and where is stock I can move?鈥� It will pull data across systems and orchestrate agents to act on the user鈥檚 behalf. In this case, 麻豆原创鈥檚 answer is autonomous action combined with a highly individual user experience for that specific situation, not more assets to be absorbed. If employees can avoid juggling systems and consuming assets, they can spend more time exercising judgment on actions that matter. This is how AI can alleviate intensity.

Context

Most AI systems understand the world, but not the enterprise in which they operate. There is a difference between a system of record鈥攖ransactions, master data, process logic鈥攁nd tacit knowledge鈥攅mails, chats, unwritten rules. And enterprises run on both. If AI only sees the system of record, its answers might be technically correct but contextually wrong because they don鈥檛 reflect the organization’s lived practice.

Even the most ostensibly basic questions require company context. Asking 鈥淲hich suppliers can I source coconuts from?鈥� requires knowledge of an organization鈥檚 process landscape across procurement, supply chain, compliance, finance, and other domains. This type of enterprise knowledge is usually scattered across process models, policies, chats, spreadsheets, and applications, so it鈥檚 tough to maintain. And even if they find it, agents cannot turn it into action without procedural knowledge of the involved people鈥攖he unwritten rules, decisions, and steps鈥攖hat make a process executable.

preview continuously captures institutional knowledge and makes it usable for both people and agents. It turns written inputs, chat inputs, process knowledge, policy guidance, and application logic into reusable building blocks that AI agents can consume. Blocks are captured once, governed centrally, and reused across the company. So when someone asks Joule Work about coconuts, the answer is driven by the company鈥檚 memory and reflects actual rules the process owners agreed upon鈥攆or example: “Only source from Brazil; others require formal exception approval.”

麻豆原创 Company Memory is not a one鈥憈ime implementation; it鈥檚 continuous. In this way, company knowledge behaves like infrastructure, ensuring agents act contextually, not just correctly, as policies and teams change.

Prediction

Business decisions are fundamentally prediction problems that rely on structured data. Most organizations use LLMs, which are great at unstructured data like text but for architectural reasons not so great at working with and generating the structured numerical data that underpins good predictions. Delay prediction, forecasting, anomaly detection, stock optimization, and credit risk are everyday operating questions that depend on structured, tabular data and forward-looking judgment.

Asking LLMs for reliable forecasts on enterprise tables is simply the wrong tool for the job. At the same time, traditional custom machine learning approaches are too slow for many real-time questions: after extracting data, sending it to specialists, and waiting weeks, the question often has changed by the time the answer comes back. This combination means predictive capabilities are either restricted to specialists or rendered inaccurate by generic LLMs; in either case, the organization鈥檚 decision-making is weakened.

Reliable forecasting and risk assessment should be a system property, not an individual hack. 麻豆原创-RPT-1.5 and TabPFN 3 are models that excel with tabular data and will integrate with Joule Work and 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud for forward-looking questions directly on live tables.

麻豆原创-RPT-1.5 for 麻豆原创 data and TabPFN 3 for any tabular data are specialized prediction engines for structured data. They enable decision-makers working in the core systems to ask, 鈥淪hould I reroute volume? What鈥檚 the probability of on鈥憈ime delivery? What鈥檚 the cost delta across scenarios?鈥� and get answers grounded in real enterprise data.

Availability across the organization eliminates specialist bottlenecks and better equips the enterprise to handle uncertainty through prediction. This enables informed top-level decisions that really move the needle for a company.

AI for the benefit of the whole organization

AI has already proven it can make people more capable, but that does not automatically help the wider organization. AI shouldn鈥檛 be about optimizing isolated tasks; it should be about reshaping how work, knowledge, and decisions flow through the company.

Joule Work, 麻豆原创 Company Memory, and 麻豆原创-RPT-1.5/TabPFN 3 are great examples of how 麻豆原创 designs system-level capabilities. They offer a unified engagement layer, a living institutional memory, and a prediction engine for structured business data that elevate AI from individual-level hacks into a collective benefit for the enterprise.

This is AI that bridges the individual-to-institutional value gap, moving from simply getting AI into the company to generating value throughout the company.

Florian Kunzke is global director of AI Strategy at 麻豆原创.

In his kickoff keynote at 麻豆原创 Sapphire Orlando, Florida, Klein and other 麻豆原创 Board members detailed how 麻豆原创 plans to bring agentic AI to the world’s most critical business workflows so that humans and AI can meet the accelerating demands of global business profitably, strategically, and safely.

鈥淭oday I鈥檓 super proud to launch our new 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform, which forms the basis for our vision of the future of business: the Autonomous Enterprise, where agents run the business and you can focus on what truly matters,鈥� Klein said.

Enterprise AI is at an inflection point, Klein told his 30,000-strong in-person and virtual keynote audience, and 麻豆原创 is in a unique position to deliver what customers need to turn their businesses into autonomous enterprises.

The business AI imperative

Across industries, organizations are investing heavily in artificial intelligence, yet many still struggle to translate that investment into meaningful business value. At 麻豆原创 Sapphire, the message was clear: This isn鈥檛 a technology problem; it鈥檚 a context and execution problem.

While 80% accuracy may be sufficient for consumer AI applications, Klein said, 鈥淓ighty percent is just not good enough when you run the world鈥檚 most business-critical businesses. They [LLMs] should not guess; they should deliver accurate, compliant, and secure outcomes.鈥� 

Klein acknowledged that while adoption of AI has become near-universal, tangible business value remains elusive. Citing a recent Stanford AI survey, he noted that almost every company is now using AI, but seeing only limited return.

The reason, he argued, lies in a structural gap. Above the waterline of enterprise AI, LLMs continue to improve at tasks trained on publicly available data, while below it lies what enterprises truly need: AI that understands mission-critical business data, end-to-end processes, and operates within security, compliance, and governance frameworks.

ERP as the foundation for business AI

麻豆原创鈥檚 answer to this challenge begins with what Klein described as 鈥渢he brain of every company: its ERP system.鈥� For over 50 years, 麻豆原创 has had solutions with incredibly deep process and data domain know-how alongside the governance requirements, compliance controls, and company-specific configurations that define how businesses actually run.

Now, as part of the company鈥檚 new vision, 麻豆原创 plans to infuse this institutional knowledge into AI agents, enabling them to navigate thousands of business processes, select from more than 7 million data fields, and verify identity and access authorizations before returning any output.

鈥淲e鈥檙e bringing together LLMs with 50 years of business know-how stored in our ERP. But to do this, we had to do nothing less than completely reinvent our company,鈥� he told the audience. 鈥淭oday we are very excited to show you the new 麻豆原创 and our vision for the Autonomous Enterprise.鈥�

麻豆原创 Business AI Platform

To bring this vision to life, 麻豆原创 executives on stage announced a series of important innovations, beginning with the launch of the new 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform, a unified architecture bringing together 麻豆原创 Business Technology Platform, 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud, and AI Foundation under a single roof.

鈥淭he heart of this new platform is the rich context layer,鈥� said Klein. 鈥淗ere, we infuse the deep ERP business domain know-how into the AI agents. Through our knowledge graphs, our AI agents have now a compass, a map, to find the right process and data in your ERP universe. And to provide the agents even more context, we are also introducing our new 麻豆原创 Domain Models. They have been trained on 麻豆原创’s code to even better understand the business logic of your company.鈥�

But, he said, 麻豆原创 is going further: 鈥淏ecause you run your business not only with 麻豆原创 solutions, our AI agents have to also understand non-麻豆原创 data. That’s why we included our 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud in the context layer to build a single semantical data layer across 麻豆原创 and non-麻豆原创. No more silos, no spaghetti data sprawl鈥攂ecause no AI agent can compensate for a broken data model.鈥�

Echoing Klein, 麻豆原创 CTO Philipp Herzig, who presented the platform in detail, said it has been designed to close the agent adoption gap in the enterprise by delivering outcome, speed, enterprise-readiness, and context. 鈥淚t’s the place where you build, contextualize, reason, and govern AI,鈥� he said.

Herzig explained that the platform is structured around three layers: the context layer which Klein referenced, the build layer, and the governance layer. 鈥淎gents are only as powerful as the context they operate on,鈥� he said. 鈥淟acking context is the number one reason why enterprise AI projects fail to deliver value.鈥�

Within the build layer of the new platform, the new Joule Studio is designed to understand a company鈥檚 business challenges and enables the building of new AI agents quickly and easily.

The third tier is the governance layer, anchored by the new 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub built on 麻豆原创 LeanIX. This provides a single command center to discover, manage, and govern all AI agents鈥斅槎乖� and non-麻豆原创. It will be generally available in Q3 and included in 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform at no additional charge.

Underscoring the changing AI marketplace, Herzig was joined on stage by KPMG Global Head of Advisory Rob Fisher, who told the audience: 鈥淲hat I鈥檓 hearing from clients is a clear shift; they鈥檙e moving from AI pilots to embedding integrated AI and agents into how work gets done. Where we see leaders really separating from the pack is in the execution and the organizational adaptability.鈥�

麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite

Building on the platform, 麻豆原创 Executive Board Member Muhammad Alam, 麻豆原创 Product & Engineering, announced the transformation of 麻豆原创鈥檚 SaaS application portfolio into the 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite, described as the most significant evolution of 麻豆原创鈥檚 applications business in the company鈥檚 history.

The suite spans five domains: Autonomous Finance, Autonomous Spend, Autonomous Supply Chain Management, Autonomous HCM, and Autonomous CX, with more than 200 agents and over 50 assistants available in the coming months. Each assistant is mapped to core business roles and carries defined KPIs tracked through 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub.

鈥溌槎乖� Autonomous Suite brings together the depth of our process expertise, semantically rich data, and built-in governance and compliance,鈥� said Alam. 鈥淭hese agents are designed with outcomes as a core objective. Each assistant has a defined set of ROI KPIs that you can expect it to deliver.鈥� 

鈥淯nderpinning the autonomous suite are out-of-the-box agents鈥攈undreds of agents cutting across all core business processes,鈥� he shared. 鈥淭hese agents come together into what we call assistants, or Joule Assistants. We’ve mapped these assistants to roles across the core processes of an organization, because we know that the first step 
in realizing value from AI is to empower your people to do more, do it better, or do things that just weren’t possible to be done before.鈥�

Turning to Joule itself, Muhammad said 麻豆原创 is fundamentally reimagining how users will interact with 麻豆原创 applications in the future.

鈥淲e call this Joule spaces and along with the familiar Joule conversations experience and Joule Studio 2.0, it is now part of what we call Joule Work,鈥� he explained.

鈥淛oule Work represents a massive step forward in super-charging the capabilities of Joule as we know it today,鈥� Alam said. 鈥淲ith Joule Work, we’re bringing a claw-based agentic harness to Joule along with computer and file access, better support for open standards such as MCP and A2A, access to a more complete knowledge base, and, of course, amazing visualizations on the fly.鈥�

Industry AI: H&M and Sector-Specific Transformation

During the keynote, 麻豆原创 Chief Operating Officer Sebastian Steinhaeuser introduced the Industry AI initiative, delivering AI-powered solutions built on decades of sector-specific expertise across 26 industries. In life sciences, he highlighted how 麻豆原创 customer Takeda is achieving up to 10% productivity gains, up to 25% reduction in revenue loss from stock-outs, and up to five percent reduction in safety stock through Autonomous Regulated Manufacturing.

He was also joined on stage by H&M Group CDIO Ellen Svanstr枚m, who discussed how the fashion retailer is embedding AI across its value chain. Built on RISE with 麻豆原创, 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud, 麻豆原创 Commerce Cloud, and 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors solutions, H&M has developed a Store Intelligence Agent that processes real-time signals to generate actionable recommendations for store managers. Svanstrom also demonstrated the AI-powered InStore Concierge, a customer-facing agent that bridges digital and physical retail through personalized outfit recommendations and real-time availability.

RISE with 麻豆原创 and 麻豆原创 GROW: Path to the Autonomous Enterprise

Returning to the keynote stage, Klein emphasized that technology adoption alone does not create business value. Simply plugging AI agents into your system landscape will drive zero value, he said. 鈥淢oving to the Autonomous Enterprise requires serious change management. Adoption of AI goes hand-in-hand with business process change and end user enablement.鈥�

To support customers on this journey, 麻豆原创 announced a comprehensive reset of its RISE with 麻豆原创 and 麻豆原创 GROW offerings. RISE with 麻豆原创 customers will receive contractual commitment to activate three Joule Assistants within the first year, with the Max Success Plan extending adoption across the full enterprise.  

麻豆原创 GROW customers will receive more than 20 AI assistants from day one, with an AI-enabled toolchain designed to support go-live in weeks. New partnerships with Palantir and Accenture will support the most complex migration scenarios.

Closing: The Autonomous Enterprise

Klein closed the keynote by asking Joule to summarize the key takeaways and noting that 麻豆原创 is evolving from being a software company to becoming a business AI company.

鈥淲e showed how to turn the promise of business AI into reality with 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform, which provides the data processes and governance AI need to deliver accurate and secure outcomes at scale; we introduced the 麻豆原创 Autonomous Suite, where applications reason, decide, and act for you; and we showed how to manage change management with RISE with 麻豆原创. Together with customers and partners, we showed how 麻豆原创 is helping companies realize the vision of the Autonomous Enterprise.鈥�

鈥淲e鈥檝e been reinventing how businesses run for over 50 years, and now by infusing 麻豆原创鈥檚 ERP brain into the new 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform, we鈥檙e solving one of the biggest challenges businesses are facing today: how to turn AI into business value,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 the end of long negotiations, supply chain disruptions, financial blind spots, and the beginning of better: Welcome to the Autonomous Enterprise.鈥�

From application development to automation, integration, and now agentic AI, we have pushed forward so organizations can move faster, solve bigger challenges, and create with confidence.

At 麻豆原创 Sapphire, we鈥檙e taking a giant step forward in making that mission a reality.

I鈥檓 thrilled to announce Joule Studio, a bold new, fully managed offering that empowers enterprises to build and manage the full life cycle of AI agents, applications, and workflows. Joule Studio brings 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform to life, empowering organizations to build agents that are natively grounded in live business data, end-to-end processes, and rich business semantics that already exist across your 麻豆原创 landscape.

Let鈥檚 look at what users can accomplish with Joule Studio.

Build faster with intent-based development

To connect business needs and technical execution, we鈥檝e placed intent-based development capabilities at the heart of the Joule Studio experience. Users can simply describe their goals in natural language, enabling anyone in the business to quickly create an automated solution or digital assistant.

When triggered, Joule Studio:

• Sets the business context for user鈥檚 request with 麻豆原创 Signavio Process Consultant Agent, 麻豆原创 Knowledge Graph, and 麻豆原创 Domain Models.
• Understands the customer landscape with 麻豆原创 LeanIX, including third-party solutions.
• Generates a complete, structured flow of artifacts, including a product requirements document that captures the business outcome, technical specifications with implementation-ready details, code scaffolding, test artifacts, and a live working preview.
• Creates a highly traceable flow from idea to implementation, ensuring a direct, seamless handoff from business users to developers. It fundamentally shifts enterprise agentic development from a slow, manual translation of requirements into a rapid, structured, and 麻豆原创-aligned workflow.

“Joule Studio generated an end-to-end solution in 10 to 15 minutes, replacing three to four days of manual development and coordination.”

Vanitha Ponnusamy, Sony

Develop agentic solutions your preferred way

Joule Studio pairs the simplicity of intent-based capabilities with unprecedented openness, providing developers with the freedom to create agentic solutions their way, using their preferred frameworks and tools without being locked into a single approach.

For example, developers can deepen and adapt Joule Studio-generated solutions using the tools and agentic IDEs they already know and love, such as Visual Studio Code, Cursor, and others. Additionally, Joule Studio offers new pro-code capabilities that support frameworks such as LangChain, Pydantic AI, and LlamaIndex, as well as an embedded n8n environment for visual multi-agent orchestration.

Harness best-in-class partnerships: n8n and Vercel

To build truly transformative AI solutions, developers need the freedom to use the tools they already love. That is why we are thrilled to announce new embedded partnerships with Vercel and n8n, giving Joule Studio users the ultimate flexibility to orchestrate complex workflows and build stunning user experiences鈥攁ll without sacrificing 麻豆原创鈥檚 enterprise-grade security and governance.

Vercel for blazing-fast, custom digital experiences

While 麻豆原创-oriented frameworks like UI5 and 麻豆原创 Fiori remain the gold standard for enterprise consistency, our new partnership with Vercel gives developers unparalleled choice for custom frontend design. By leveraging Vercel within the 麻豆原创 ecosystem, developers can rapidly build highly flexible, custom web interfaces for their AI agents using popular frameworks like Next.js. This enables teams to deliver lightning-fast, consumer-grade digital experiences that prioritize speed and custom design, while securely preserving 麻豆原创 enterprise controls.

n8n for visual workflow orchestration at enterprise scale

Creating intelligent agents is just the beginning; integrating them into end-to-end business processes is where the real value is unlocked. We are bringing an embedded, fully managed n8n environment directly into Joule Studio. By using n8n within Joule Studio, teams can visually orchestrate multi-agent systems and bring AI right into the process flows they are designed to support, ensuring agents act with perfect timing and context. Developers get the beloved n8n experience they already know, complemented by seamless access to 麻豆原创 systems, Joule Studio capabilities, and 麻豆原创-managed services for identity and operations. It is the ultimate combination for delivering powerful, enterprise-ready automations faster than ever.

Deploy enterprise-ready agents securely

Building powerful agents is only half the equation; realizing their full value comes from running them securely and reliably at enterprise scale. To help our customers do this, 麻豆原创 is introducing a managed Joule Studio runtime service that enables organizations to deploy agents, applications, and workflows in a secure, production-ready environment with zero infrastructure management required.

Joule Studio runtime does the heavy lifting for our customers by managing all the complex operational capabilities needed for enterprise scale; runtime configuration, cluster management, storage, and model access are delivered seamlessly out-of-the-box. Underpinning this runtime is also the NVIDIA OpenShell, which places each agent inside an isolated, sandboxed environment with configurable policies and guardrails 鈥� ensuring agents can operate autonomously while staying within defined boundaries and preventing unchecked access to sensitive enterprise systems.

This governed foundation provides IT teams with built-in observability and lifecycle management. With controlled deployments, standardized schema validation, and deep integration with 麻豆原创 Business Transformation Management solutions like 麻豆原创 Signavio and 麻豆原创 LeanIX as well as 麻豆原创 Cloud Application Lifecycle Management allow teams to monitor agent usage, costs, and business impact over time. It creates an always-on cycle of continuous improvement, where AI monitors performance, surfaces insights, and proposes the next round of fixes.

Agents deployed on Joule Studio runtime will be equipped with persistent, long-term memory powered by 麻豆原创 HANA Cloud, enabling them to retrieve user preferences and context across multiple sessions.

Bring agents into the flow of everyday work

Ultimately, the value of agentic AI is realized when people can effortlessly interact with it. With the new Joule Work engagement layer, we are bringing the apps, agents, and workflows your teams build directly into the flow of everyday work, providing a personalized, intent-based workspace that reduces context switching and accelerates task completion.

“Across 48 diverse scenarios, Joule Studio consistently delivered high-quality code, with only a handful of instances requiring minor refinements to reach full functionality.”

Suraj Gahalyan, Accenture

Joule Studio: 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform in action

Joule Studio is more than just a powerful development environment; it is the ultimate expression of the unified coming together. While the broader market struggles with disconnected point solutions that lack business context and keep AI stuck in endless pilot modes, 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform bridges every system, process, and decision to deliver true enterprise-wide value.

Joule Studio acts as the engine that brings the three foundational pillars of the 麻豆原创 Business AI Platform to life in one seamless workflow:

• Build: We are taking organizations from idea to enterprise impact by providing a unified workspace that enables the seamless creation of agents, applications, and workflows. Whether leveraging intent-based development or our embedded partnerships with n8n and Vercel, teams can turn ideas into solutions without operational overhead.
• Contextualize and reason: An agent is only as smart as the data it understands. Through deep integration with the 麻豆原创 Knowledge Graph, 麻豆原创 Business Data Cloud, and 麻豆原创 Domain Models, every solution built in Joule Studio is natively anchored in universal business context. This means agents reason over real, semantically rich business data, understanding relationships and process logic, for reliable performance from day one.
• Govern: Speed and control are no longer a tradeoff. By tapping into 麻豆原创 AI Agent Hub, fully managed Joule runtime, and solutions like 麻豆原创 Signavio and 麻豆原创 LeanIX, Joule Studio embeds enterprise-grade governance, observability, and lifecycle management directly into the development process.
