SAP BTP Talk

Host Niklas Siemer is joined by Maria Kondratyeva, Product Manager for Joule Studio in SAP Build, for a deep dive into the newly announced SAP Build Agent Builder, a major step forward in helping organizations create their own custom AI Agents. Niklas and Maria explore how SAP Build empowers low code and no code users to create content-based agents, while developers can extend capabilities using APIs, SAP Build Actions, and Model Context Protocol servers for deeper integration. They also highlight practical enterprise examples such as compensation proposal agents and warehouse operations agents that show how AI agents reduce manual work, accelerate decision making, and orchestrate processes across heterogeneous landscapes. Whether you are a developer, architect, or process owner, this episode unpacks what it takes to operationalize AI responsibly. You will hear how SAP is approaching governance, human in the loop checks, Cloud ALM observability, and the future of agent-to-agent communication as Agent Builder becomes available on December 19.
