Frequently asked questions

Joule is an enterprise AI solution, infused with AI agents, that is embedded deeply into the flow of work across SAP and non-SAP systems. Grounded in SAP’s process expertise, harmonized data, and trusted architecture, Joule’s ready-to-use capabilities deliver unmatched contextual insights and automation across all core functions of your business without compromising compliance or security. Joule helps you deploy AI at scale faster and with confidence, so your people act with clarity, teams collaborate without siloes, core processes run more effectively, and enterprise-wide impact is captured.

Joule differentiates itself from generic AI solutions by offering deep enterprise integration, business-context awareness, and embedded functionality across SAP's cloud portfolio. Unlike other AI solutions, Joule provides role-specific assistance with enterprise-grade security, GDPR compliance, and automatic updates while maintaining complete data isolation within customer SAP tenancies. Joule delivers unique value through pre-trained SAP business process knowledge and seamless access to enterprise data that enables contextual insights without switching between applications.

Joule lets you innovate with agility using built-in SAP security, ethics, and compliance to reduce risk and IT overhead. Joule ensures enterprise-grade data protection through encrypted communications, tenant-level data isolation within customer SAP cloud environments, and role-based access controls that inherit existing SAP permissions. Customer data remains within their own SAP tenancy and is never used to train third-party AI models, with automatic data purging after log rotation and comprehensive GDPR compliance measures including data anonymization for continuous improvement.

For customers with existing SAP cloud subscriptions you can activate Joule base for free to get started immediately. For customers looking to learn more about how to get started with Joule, you should complete the official Provisioning and Implementing Joule learning available from SAP, which provides step-by-step guidance on system prerequisites, provisioning, configuration, security, and activation within supported SAP cloud solutions. This training helps administrators properly enable Joule in their SAP environment so business users can begin using the AI solution directly within their workflows.

Joule pricing follows a two-tier model: Base AI and Premium AI. Joule Base is included in standard SAP Cloud subscriptions at no additional cost and delivers embedded, everyday AI capabilities across SAP applications. Joule Premium packages support more advanced use cases and is priced either per user per month (for regularly assigned capabilities) or through consumption-based SAP AI Units (for scalable or event-driven scenarios). AI Units act as a flexible, shared credit pool that can be used. The number of AI Units required depends on your users, use cases, and expected usage and can be calculated using the AI estimator. SAP provides estimation guidance and commercial support to help determine the right model and volume for your organization.

  • Joule Agents are ready-to-use AI agents that support business users with decision support and task automation that requires non-deterministic workflows. Joule Agents choose from a large set of tools (including Joule skills, other agents, and third-party applications) to action their plans and then reflect and reason on the results to draw conclusions and make recommendations. Grounded by SAP Knowledge Graph and SAP Business Data Cloud, Joule Agents uniquely understand your data and processes to act reliably through business applications.
