TLDR: SAP has unveiled significant advancements in its Business AI offerings during Q3 2025 and at the recent SAP Connect 2025 event, introducing new AI-powered features across its Customer Experience (CX) portfolio, enhancing its central AI engine Joule with role-based assistants, and launching new AI-native applications and data connectivity solutions.
SAP has significantly expanded its artificial intelligence capabilities, rolling out a suite of new AI-powered features and solutions during the third quarter of 2025 and making key announcements at its SAP Connect 2025 event held in Las Vegas on October 6-8. These innovations are designed to embed intelligence across various business processes, driving smarter decisions, faster execution, and scalable transformation.
A central theme of these releases is the enhancement of SAP’s core AI engine, Joule. The company introduced a new generation of “role-aware assistants” that are designed to collaborate with employees across different functions. These assistants can orchestrate specialized Joule Agents to automate complex workflows while maintaining human oversight. For instance, a new People Manager Assistant integrates agents like the People Intelligence Agent to identify and address issues such as pay gaps. Similarly, finance teams will benefit from the Financial Planning Assistant, which includes a Cash Management Agent to optimize cash flow and improve interest yields. Muhammad Alam, a member of the Executive Board of SAP SE, SAP Product & Engineering, stated, “Our announcements today demonstrate the power of SAP Business Suite, where AI, data, and applications come together in an experience to propel smarter decisions, faster execution, and scalable transformation.”
Beyond Joule, SAP has infused AI across its Customer Experience (CX) portfolio. The Q3 2025 release for SAP CX highlights several key areas:
SAP Service Cloud: Features now include automatic extraction of registered product information from case descriptions, saving time for service teams.
SAP Sales Cloud: Generative AI capabilities have been introduced for contact and individual customer duplicate checks, providing a confidence score to help maintain clean and accurate records.
SAP Emarsys: Marketers can leverage an AI-assisted product finder using natural language prompts, an AI-assisted segment description generator for human-readable summaries, and a pilot program for an AI-assisted campaign translator to localize email campaign copy and product descriptions.
SAP Commerce Cloud: A new configurable Shopping Agent uses real-time product stock awareness to display or hide out-of-stock products in recommendations, reducing friction and abandoned carts. For B2B, it can also answer questions about bulk product availability.
SAP Revenue Growth Management: AI-assisted promotion creation offers recommendations for promotion names, timing, products, spend types, and discount types.
In addition to these CX-specific updates, SAP also unveiled Business Data Cloud (BDC) Connect, a new service aimed at breaking down data silos. BDC Connect facilitates secure, bidirectional sharing of business-ready data across organizational and technological boundaries without duplication. This allows customers to utilize trusted, context-rich data directly within their existing platforms, avoiding the costs and complexities of multiple data pipelines. Databricks and Google Cloud are the initial partners enabled on BDC Connect, with more partnerships anticipated.
SAP is also introducing new AI-native applications for broader business operations. These include:
SAP Supply Chain Orchestration: This solution combines Joule’s intelligence with a live knowledge graph to detect potential disruptions in supplier networks and coordinate rapid responses, thereby helping companies reduce risk and maintain continuity.
SAP Engagement Cloud: This application uses business-critical context to personalize experiences for customers, suppliers, and partners.
Next-generation SAP Ariba procurement suite: AI is embedded across spend management functions, from sourcing to supplier engagement.
