Grounded assistant

Build a retrieval augmented scenario on BTP: embed a document set in HANA Cloud, ground a generative model on it and expose the answers through a simple app.

Governance pack

Produce an AI usage policy for an SAP landscape covering data protection, approval, human oversight and cost control, as you would present it to a steering committee.

Tools you will use

Joule and Joule Studio: The copilot experience and custom skill creation across SAP applications.
Generative AI hub: Model access, prompt management and orchestration on SAP AI Core.
AI Launchpad and AI Core: Deployment, configuration and lifecycle of AI artefacts on BTP.
HANA Cloud vector engine: Embeddings storage and similarity search for grounding on business data.
Document Information Extraction: Turning invoices and documents into structured data, one of the most used AI services.
Embedded AI configuration: Activating and tuning the AI scenarios shipped inside S/4HANA and the cloud suite.

What learners say

The distinction between embedded AI, Joule and building on AI Foundation is exactly the conversation clients need, and it is taught clearly.
Karan M., SAP BTP and AI Consultant

The governance module is what I use most. Being able to answer the data protection question early is what unblocks pilots.
Sofia L., Solution Architect

Grounding on business data with the vector engine was the practical piece I could not find anywhere else.
Vishal N., Innovation Lead

What a day looks like

Feasibility questions: Answering whether a requested AI feature already exists in the product, is buildable on BTP, or is not realistic yet.
Build work: Developing or tuning a grounded scenario, mostly prompt iteration and retrieval quality rather than model choice.
Evaluation: Running output quality checks with the business and deciding whether accuracy is good enough to release.
Governance: Data protection review, approval documentation and confirming no personal data leaves an approved boundary.
Cost review: Monitoring AI unit consumption and adjusting where a feature is more expensive than the value it delivers.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a data science course?

No. It is about applying AI inside the SAP landscape: what SAP ships, how Joule works, and how to build grounded scenarios on BTP. You will not be training models from scratch.

Do I need to be a developer?

For the build module it helps. Functional consultants and architects get full value from the landscape, Joule, embedded scenarios and governance modules, which is most of the course.

Will this content date quickly?

The specific features move fast, and we update the course with each SAP release. The architecture, grounding, evaluation and governance principles are stable, which is why they carry most of the weight.

Which certification does this map to?

The SAP Business AI certification scope. SAP versions these exams frequently, so confirm the current code before booking.

Is Joule available everywhere?

No, availability varies by product, edition and region, and it is expanding release by release. Knowing exactly what is available is part of what this course teaches.

Is there hands-on work?

Yes, including building a grounded retrieval scenario on a practice BTP environment.
