SAP AI Core and SAP AI Launchpad Initial Setup with Boosters
I am writing this blog to describe setup procedures of SAP AI Core and SAP AI Launchpad. I used mainly boosters.
Pre-requisites
Subaccount is created and configured. As of 2022 Aug, SAP AI Core and SAP AI Launchpad are not available on trial account.
Procedures
1. SAP AI Core Initial Setup
Use “Set up Account for SAP AI Core” boosters from global account view.
SAP AI Core setup Wizard(1/4)
SAP AI Core setup Wizard(2/4)
If you don’t have a subaccount, then choose “Create Subaccount”.
SAP AI Core setup Wizard(3/4)
SAP AI Core setup Wizard(4/4)
2. Create SAP AI Core service key
The steps are exactly same as the ones of Help Portal.
After the creation, download the service key for a later step.
3. SAP AI Launchpad Setup
Use “Set up Account for SAP AI Launchpad” boosters from global account view.
SAP AI Launchpad setup Wizard(1/4)
SAP AI Launchpad setup Wizard(4/4)
4. Assign Role Collections of SAP AI Launchpad to users
Assign role collections of SAP AI Launchpad to users. I didn’t check the necessary role collections exactly.
5. Connect SAP AI Launchpad to SAP AI Core
Go to SAP AI Launchpad application.
Add an AI API connection by using SAP AI Core service key file, which is downloaded at step 1.
Lastly
Though this blog post is so simple, I hope it helps someone to start with SAP AI Core and SAP AI Launchpad.
Hi @Yohei Fukuhara!
Cool to read that SAP AI Core is available for trial. As I can't see the service or the booster, is there any restrictions like region or anything to consider?
Hi Peter Baumann,
SAP AI Core and SAP AI Launchpad are not available for trial as mentioned by Yohei under "Pre-requisites". You might have misread that.
Note that both products are not planned to be available for trial but will soon be available as part of the free tier model for SAP BTP. Please find more information about free tier in SAP BTP here and please find the roadmap for SAP AI Core and SAP AI Launchpad here.
Ah, right. misread that. Thank you!
Hi Tobias,
Just wanted to confirm if SAP AI and SAP Launchpad services are available in the free tier in SAP BTP? In the roadmap it has been mentioned to be made available in the free tier in the Q3 of 2022, hence the question.
Thanks
Hi Hitesh-san,
I cannot say anything about roadmap.
Tobias Knietzsch
Can you say something about free tier?

Yohei
