The rapid advancements in generative AI technology have transformed the way businesses approach their conventional work methods. This transformation has led to the adoption of innovative approaches aimed at enhancing efficiency, productivity, customer satisfaction, and the way we work. Recent months have witnessed a growing interest in the convergence of generative AI and automation, a concept that has garnered significant attention and holds tremendous promise for businesses. Within this landscape, AI agents have the potential to play a pivotal role in realizing the vision of business automation driven by generative AI.

These AI business agents support business users and have the potential to optimize operations and elevate productivity within organizations across various industriesthrough improved throughput times, cost-effectiveness, and personalized workforce augmentation and customer services.

AI business agents can be utilized in areas such assales support, customer care, procurement, inventory management, business reporting, and many more.

However, to bring such use cases to fruition, there is a need forsemantic and technical integration between business systems, processes, and AI agents. This integration must also prioritize the highest levels of security and accuracy. To fulfill these requirements, the SAP Innovation Center Network Walldorf has developed a prototype for a Business Agent Foundationon SAP Business Technology Platform.

The aim of the Business Agent Foundation (prototype) is to enable the efficient realization of business AI scenarios by providing reusable AI business agents as a service. Through various integration and development tools provided via the Business Agent Foundation (prototype), AI agents can be seamlessly integrated into existing and new business applications. The innovation offers various features that empower agents with the skills required to complete enterprise processes and tasks, while understanding business context and semantics.

In an upcoming SAP Customer Engagement Initiative, we will collaborate with SAP customers and partners to explore and validate high-value scenarios for AI Business Agents based on the Business Agent Foundation and #BTP.
