SAP Business AI
With this release, we’re delivering more than 30
new AI capabilities that boost efficiency and
employee productivity. These new features span
HR operations, talent acquisition, learning and
development, people management, and
employee experience. For example, candidates
can leverage AI-driven job recommendations to
discover and apply for positions that align with
their skills. In addition, AI-assisted writing can now
help employees enhance their self-description in
their people profile, while also enabling managers
and administrators to craft more meaningful
workflow comments. Also, the AI-assisted writing
feature now includes text translation, helping to
preserve key messages and tone when translating
from one language to another.
Additionally, a new text analyzer helps employees
create more carefully worded text content. It
provides suggested actions to enhance writing as
well as a summary of potential contextual issues,
including any items relating to inclusivity or
potentially harmful language.
We are also introducing over 15 new Joule
capabilities designed to enable a more
conversational approach to getting work done,
benefiting both managers and employees. And
new with this release is Joule functions, a
powerful enhancement that takes our AI copilot
to a whole new level. You’ll be able to conduct
more intelligent and adaptive conversations that
integrate with business processes, including
complex, conversational exchanges across the
entire SAP SuccessFactors HCM suite. This Joule
enhancement dynamically adjusts to the context
of user interactions, so it responds even more
intelligently to user needs rather than following
predefined paths, offering a fluid and natural
conversational experience.

User experience
Building on our commitment to improving user
efficiency, we’re introducing a set of new
capabilities within the flow of work. Now, time-off
requests can be easily submitted and approved
directly within Microsoft Teams, and users can
view upcoming absences and holidays and sync
them to the Teams calendar. Users can also
submit delegated workflow requests, enabling
others to manage tasks on their behalf. The
enhanced natural-language search function now
available in Microsoft Teams makes it easy to find
tasks and information and initiate action with
simple language commands. These updates are
designed to simplify processes and improve
productivity by reducing the need to switch
among applications.
In this release, our mobile application has been
updated with new cross-suite features and
enhancements within the people profile, learning,
time tracking, and more. The AI-assisted goals
feature, for example, now offers an efficient way to
create meaningful performance and development
goals from anywhere, at any time.
