Building software Joule Studio

AI

Overview
Joule Studio is SAP’s AI-first development environment for building custom AI agents, applications, and workflows. Powered by the SAP Business AI Platform. Meet the new AI-first experience for building agents, apps, and workflows. Engineered for a faster path from idea to production.

Key benefits

• Build your way: Use the AI tools, frameworks, and environments your teams already know and trust.
• Build with context: Embed your unique process, data, and business context directly into the development process.
• Build with confidence: Govern identity, runtime, and agent performance with the controls needed to scale confidently.

Capabilities
Joule Studio combines agent building, SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP) development, workflows, managed runtime, and integrations to enable end-to-end solution delivery. Key capability areas include:

• Agent and skill creation for task execution and decision support.
• Full-stack application development: UI, business logic, and backend services.
• Workflows and integrations across SAP and non-SAP systems.
• Support for both low-code and pro-code development, integrated with Git and CI/CD pipelines.
• Managed runtime, pre-launch testing, continuous evaluation, and lifecycle controls.
• Central agent repository and DevOps support for production delivery.
