Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence. The SAP Joule Advanced Training course is designed for SAP professionals who want to move beyond standard AI capabilities and build enterprise-grade intelligent assistants using SAP Joule. This advanced program provides hands-on experience in designing custom AI skills, developing autonomous AI agents, integrating SAP systems, and orchestrating intelligent business workflows across enterprise applications.

The course begins with SAP Joule architecture and extensibility, where learners explore Joule Studio, Agent Builder, secure identity management, permissions, and SAP BTP integration. You will understand how SAP Joule extends beyond standard capabilities by enabling custom AI skills and enterprise-specific automation scenarios.

A major focus of the training is on custom skill development, including OpenAPI-based integrations, analytical and transactional AI skills, semantic search, vector databases, and document grounding using SAP HANA Cloud. You will learn how to create enterprise AI assistants capable of securely accessing organizational knowledge and business data.

The course further explores AI agent orchestration, covering decision-making workflows, multi-skill agent design, error handling, API limitations, fallback mechanisms, and human-in-the-loop approvals using SAP Build Process Automation. Learners will build intelligent agents that can authenticate, retrieve data, process requests, and generate business responses automatically.

Advanced modules focus on cross-system automation, integrating SAP Joule with SAP S/4HANA and SAP SuccessFactors through OData and REST APIs. You will automate service order creation, HR onboarding processes, payroll compliance checks, and cross-department workflows using conversational AI.
