Artificial intelligence is no longer just a trend in the corporate world; it is a transformation engine. To help accelerate this transformation, SAP offers powerful AI tools under the umbrella of the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). Two of the most innovative of these are SAP Generative AI Hub and SAP AI Launchpad. These platforms let companies quickly bring AI solutions to life and integrate them into real business processes.
So how do these tools work, and what advantages do they provide to organizations?
SAP Generative AI Hub: Turning Natural Language into Power in Business Processes
SAP Generative AI Hub focuses on developing generative AI solutions that work with large language models (LLMs) and integrate with SAP applications. Through this platform, organizations can access ready-made AI models, customize them and integrate them into real business scenarios.
Key Features:
- Ready-Made Models: SAP's pre-trained generative AI models work in harmony with SAP modules such as finance, supply chain and HR.
- Secure and Ethical Use: Thanks to SAP's security and data-protection standards, AI use takes place within a secure framework at the enterprise level.
- Natural-Language Integration: Users can perform complex SAP operations with natural-language commands - for example, "Show the sales analysis of the last 6 months."
SAP AI Launchpad: Centralizing and Managing Applications
SAP AI Launchpad lets organizations manage their AI models from a single central platform. With this tool, organizations can monitor, version and operationalize different models end to end.
Use Cases:
- Model Tracking: Transparency and control in AI projects are ensured with performance tracking, logging and version management.
