Every business wants to move faster, make better decisions, and empower its people to focus on what matters most.
This year at SAP Sapphire, we shared our vision for the Autonomous Enterprise — the next evolution of how businesses run, where AI agents execute critical workflows so people can focus on innovation, customer value, and business growth.
This vision comes to life through a reimagined Joule Work, evolving from an AI assistant into the central workspace for enterprise AI. We also introduced the SAP Autonomous Suite, bringing AI agents and assistants across core business functions to execute complex workflows with human oversight. With SAP Business AI Platform, customers and partners can build, manage, and govern AI agents. And by expanding Industry AI, we’re delivering AI grounded in deep business context and domain expertise to solve industry-specific challenges.
Capture business-wide AI value with speed and confidence
Customers are already benefiting. Bosch’s IT division, Bosch Digital, integrated SAP Joule for Developers directly into their coding workflows. Developers saw a 20% increase in productivity using Joule to automate routine coding tasks and optimize code. Joule also generates test cases, speeding up unit testing by 15% to 20% and freeing senior developers for high-value tasks. Aeropuertos Argentina, the country’s leading airport operator, defines safety thresholds, service levels, and playbooks, and its agent, Smart Network for Operative Winter (SNOW), executes them. The SNOW agent is a winter operations system that integrates real-time weather, runway, and operations/maintenance data to automatically orchestrate work at Patagonian airports. The agent has improved runway safety, cut direct costs by 16%, and reduced administrative effort by 90%.
PwC built a tool using AI Foundation so its clients can better handle international tax rules by developing and managing their own custom AI agents and solutions. This way, PwC’s clients can focus on strategy while AI handles tax. PwC’s tool helped one pharmaceutical company handle VAT on international transfers 60% more efficiently.
Another customer, LC Waikiki, a global fashion retailer, used an AI agent, built on SAP Joule, to cut HR process cycle times by 40% to 60%. The agent helps employees quickly handle HR transactions, such as leave requests and payroll queries, through natural language conversations. Reducing time spent on administrative tasks allows HR teams to focus on strategic talent management. These are just some of the customers getting value. There are many more.
Now let’s dive into the releases from Q2 2026.
Please note that this article covers only AI offerings released from April 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026.

Joule Work

Joule Work redefines how people interact with and execute end-to-end business processes. As the user engagement component of the Joule solution, it moves the user experience beyond fragmented, transactional interfaces toward a unified, intelligent way of working across SAP and non-SAP systems. Its dynamic workspace adapts to users’ intent, helping them focus on outcomes rather than spending time finding information. And because it can delegate execution to AI, users will no longer need to coordinate work across multiple application interfaces manually.
Joule Work will allow users to express in natural language what they want to accomplish, triggering Joule Assistants to coordinate teams of Joule Agents that will surface the right insights and automate routine work across business domains and systems to achieve the goal. This happens in intent-driven, adaptive workspaces built in real time that keep teams focused on driving decisions and impact. Joule Work can help reduce manual handoffs, shorten cycle times, and enable teams to turn decisions into actions faster. A key function of Joule Work is to connect users with Joule Assistants, which are like smart teammates organized by function. These assistants use context to intuit people’s intent and act by coordinating the appropriate Joule Agents across the business. Joule Assistants understand organizations deeply and can automate complex tasks within and across functions, freeing employees to address more strategic work.
