Joule & AI Agents

What is Joule in SAP Ariba?

Short answer

Joule is SAP's generative AI copilot. In next-gen SAP Ariba it is embedded across the suite, so buyers, requesters and category managers can ask questions in plain language and get answers – and next steps – from live procurement data.

What you can do with Joule

  • Ask for spend, supplier, sourcing or contract information without building a report.
  • Get summaries of long documents such as contracts or bids.
  • Navigate to the right task or app by describing what you want.
  • Work with AI agents that take on multi-step tasks, with you approving the outcome.

Joule across SAP

Joule is the same copilot used across SAP's cloud portfolio, including SAP S/4HANA and SAP SuccessFactors. That makes it easier for users who work across systems, and lets agents work on cross-application processes over time.
