CAP in the age of AI #7 - vector embeddings wrap-upCAP in the age of AI #7 - vector embeddings wrap-upThe same embeddings model taken from SQLite to SAP HANA Cloud, then handed to an agent. Locally it is @cap-js/ai that adds the vector functions SQLite lacks and downloads an all-MiniLM L6v2 ONNX model on first start; on HANA natural language processing has to be switched on, the model name is a mandatory argument, the vectors it returns are 768 dimensions, and dimensions must match on both sides of a comparison. HANA itself can be given SAP AI Core as a remote source for other embedding models, which a CDS.ql expression has to inject because the postfix notation only takes what the CDS model holds, and the hour ends with a search function over cosine similarity exposed over @cap-js/mcp, so an agent asked about low output from solar panels calls semantic search instead of writing the query itself.published 2026-10-16
SAP Meets the Agentic Web: CAP MCP - UI5 WebMCPSAP Meets the Agentic Web: CAP MCP - UI5 WebMCPA Devtoberfest 2026 session (CAP-42) that puts MCP and WebMCP side by side: MCP exposes a backend to an agent, WebMCP exposes the tools of a web page to whatever agent arrives at it, and only Chrome behind a flag and Cloudflare's Kite browser support the second one today. The CAP half starts with two agents scraping a Fiori elements app with Playwright and browser dev tools, then annotates the catalogue service with the MCP protocol through @cap-js/mcp, after which the agent calls the generated describe tool instead of parsing pages. The UI5 half registers a search-authors tool on the browser's model context API inside the same app, with the cross-origin isolation header the API requires, and lists it through the WebMCP Chrome extension — the agent run against it ends on an exhausted Gemini key rather than a result.published 2026-10-16
What's in Daniel Hutzel's brain?What's in Daniel Hutzel's brain?A Devtoberfest 2026 session in the building-apps track, in which Daniel Hutzel and DJ Adams work through what the CAP team is building for agents. A bookshop gets an MCP endpoint beside its OData one from a single annotation, with the plugin writing the coding agent's configuration itself; in the xt-travels sample five services that know nothing about each other are served over MCP and an agent does the orchestration the hand-built UI and its value helps used to do. Hutzel then annotates a service as an agent so the ReAct loop and the choice of model move into the CAP service, and finally drops MCP for a skill that teaches the agent CQL instead, which is where the edges to Serve your application over MCP, Agent tooling and Agent guidance come from. The mechanism under all of it, a plugin file in the package root and event handlers that can be added to any CAP service, is the edge to Plugin authoring.published 2026-10-02

CAP in the age of AI #6 - vector embeddingsCAP in the age of AI #6 - vector embeddingsVector embeddings put to work in the incident management sample, answering whether this problem has been seen before. An embedding element of type Vector is calculated and stored from the vector_embedding function, so the database refreshes it whenever the text behind it changes, and cosine_similarity compares it with a freshly embedded string; because a title says little, a scheduled action first summarises each incident's conversation through a model on SAP AI Core and the embedding is taken from that summary. The similar-incidents list is a view joining incidents to themselves, with order and limit set in a before handler on the expanded query, and the vector element excluded from the service, since OData knows nothing about vectors — on SAP HANA Cloud the function is native, while SQLite needs packages added to the project.published 2026-10-09

SAP BDC in Business AI Platform: Contextualize and ReasonSAP BDC in Business AI Platform: Contextualize and ReasonA Devtoberfest 2026 session (DAT-31) that places SAP Business Data Cloud as the contextualise-and-reason pillar of the SAP Business AI Platform, between the build pillar of Joule Studio and Integration Suite and the govern pillar of AI Agent Hub. It covers data products described with open resource discovery and core schema notation metadata, a data product creation agent that assembles a derived data product for overdue billing documents from the billing document and customer products and shows its lineage and fields; the data products a line-of-business application brings being readable by Joule without a BDC subscription; and the SAP-managed knowledge graph that maps business entities and their relationships for agents, held as graph data in the SAP HANA Cloud knowledge graph engine as RDF triples queried with SPARQL. The closing demo has SAP Joule answer head-count and purchase-order questions, with the generated SQL passed through a data product query that adds the restriction policy defined for that user in cloud identity services, which is why the session stands for cataloguing and lineage as much as for the products it names.SAP Developers, published 2026-10-06

IntegrAItion: Event-Driven IntelligenceIntegrAItion: Event-Driven IntelligenceA Devtoberfest 2026 session, INT-33, whose line is that agents fail because they are not informed enough rather than not clever enough, and that events are how they get informed: what an event is, the source-broker-consumer split, notification against data events, and topic filtering as the thing that decides which agents are woken at all and what that costs in tokens. It covers Event Mesh as the concern — topics, subscriptions, filters and queues — and SAP Integration Suite, advanced event mesh as the product, down to its event portal and catalogue, the mesh and cluster managers and distributed tracing. The closing demo sends an S/4HANA product-defect event through the mesh to wake an agent in Joule Studio, which fetches what it still needs over MCP and reports to a person the next morning.SAP Developers, published 2026-10-07

Be the First to Understand Joule Work's Agentic ThinkingBe the First to Understand Joule Work's Agentic ThinkingA Devtoberfest 2026 session on the agent harness behind agentic thinking in Joule Work: generic operating-system tools in a gVisor-isolated sandbox instead of hand-wired domain functions, a react loop, a warm pool of sandboxes torn down after each task, tenant-separated skill loading, and placeholder tokens the agent never sees swapped for real credentials at the egress path. A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md carrying metadata and instructions, and where it reaches a system, an SAP connectivity JSON that declares each connector by ORD ID with its guardrails — GET allowed by default, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE requiring human approval, everything else blocked. The demo uploads a cost-centre skill through the skills view, then has agentic thinking delegate over A2A through Agent Gateway to a custom agent built in Joule Studio, whose MCP tools read cost centres from an S/4HANA Cloud system, and ends by turning the result into a PDF; the Joule Studio trace is what shows the tool call actually happened.SAP Developers, published 2026-10-15

The nodes carry the other edges — the human-in-the-loop node is built on SAP Task Center, and SAP AI Core is where model providers are configured centrally instead of per developer.

Building Code-Based AI Agents on the BAIPBuilding Code-Based AI Agents on the BAIPA Devtoberfest 2026 session on writing the agent yourself rather than configuring one, which is the agent tooling edge: an agent is a model with tools, skills, memory and context around it, and the session reads the code of one built in CAP as a LangGraph state graph, with an agent node that calls the model, a tools node holding the MCP clients, and the edge between them looping until no tool is needed. It then shows the shorter route, a CDS service annotated for the agent protocol with its instructions and skills in an agent.md file. SAP AI Core carries both, with the CAP service in front of it as middleware so the credentials never reach the browser, and that is what cap-agent-ui5-webui is demonstrated against: added as a dependency, it gives the annotated service a UI5 chat interface that can be deployed rather than only previewed. A Python multi-agent application on Cloud Foundry, where an orchestrator delegates to per-stack specialists so no single model sees every tool, closes the session.published 2026-10-09

It ends in the xtravels sample, where a travel agent delegates to a hotel-service sub-agent and reaches a separately started flight service over MCP through the service binding CAP resolves anyway.

From Intent to Arcade: Building Joule*Bert with Joule Studio and AI-Assisted Pro CodeFrom Intent to Arcade: Building Joule*Bert with Joule Studio and AI-Assisted Pro CodeA Devtoberfest 2026 AI-track session that takes a Q*bert-style arcade game, written as an Easter egg for colleagues, through every phase Joule Studio runs: intent analysis with its clarifying questions, a product requirements document, a specification with its task list, generated code, generated tests and deployment. The knowledge-graph lookup reports that the game maps to no enterprise process and the flow adjusts, and the presenter edits the requirements by hand when the first version declares sound out of scope. He then pushes the project to GitHub, clones it and initialises the jl command line so that Joule Studio's MCP servers are wired into the coding agent in VS Code, where mobile arrow keys were added afterwards; applications could not yet be deployed to the Joule Studio runtime, so this one runs on Kyma.SAP Developers, published 2026-10-01
How to implement business AI capabilities in ABAP CloudHow to implement business AI capabilities in ABAP CloudA Devtoberfest 2026 session (ABA-32) on embedding AI in an ABAP Cloud application and on making SAP Joule aware of what that application can do. The first demo implements two features of a RAP travel app with the ABAP AI SDK: a determination on an uploaded receipt that sends the image together with the allowed categories and transaction types to a model reached through an intelligent scenario, then writes the extracted description, category, currency and amount back to the expense entity; and a recommendation function, triggered by a side effect on the trip title, that proposes a trip type with a score the Fiori UI sorts the proposals by and leaves the business user to accept — which is LLM integration from ABAP code. The second demo builds a capability for SAP Joule in the Joule Studio code editor in VS Code, with a scenario that extracts a trip title from the user's intent and calls an OData service in the ABAP backend through a BTP destination, deploys it and asks the Joule test UI for the trip's details; the session states that agents reach ABAP only over governed remote APIs — OData, SQL and MCP — and that automatic grounding of custom OData services in the knowledge graph is upcoming rather than available.published 2026-10-05
Real Pro-Code Development with Joule StudioReal Pro-Code Development with Joule StudioA Devtoberfest 2026 AI-track session that runs one agent build across both of Joule Studio's paths. Playing a procurement manager, one presenter states the intent in the browser, answers the clarifying questions, watches the fit-gap analysis name the S/4HANA APIs the use case needs, and pushes the intent and requirements document to GitHub; the other clones it and carries on in a terminal, logging in with the jl command line against her landscape URL and running its init command to fetch Joule Studio's skills for OpenCode. From there the coding agent writes the specification, the discovered API specifications, the MCP translation and the agent's Python file with its model configuration and evaluation scenarios, which is the edge to Agent tooling; the skills themselves, which SAP says not to edit but which a developer may add to, are the edge to Agent guidance.SAP Developers, published 2026-10-01

🟣 Enable Your AI application to Run on Multiple Models to Ensure Resilience and Compliance🟣 Enable Your AI application to Run on Multiple Models to Ensure Resilience and ComplianceDevtoberfest 2026 session AI-21. A cross product owner on the SAP AI Core team gives the reasons an AI application ends up on more than one model — a model down at the hyperscaler, a data centre that is not allowed to run it, a version being deprecated — and runs a joke app that answers from Gemini 2.5 Flash in EU10 and from Claude 4.5 Haiku in Asia-Pacific. The walk through AI Core's parts is where the edges hold: prompts kept as templates in the prompt registry, imported through the launchpad and the APIs or synced as YAML from a git repository (Prompt management); the evaluation service scoring one prompt across up to four models per run on built-in or model-as-judge metrics, and the prompt optimizer generating variants against one metric (Agent evals); and the orchestration service harmonising the providers behind one message format with a priority-sorted fallback list (LLM integration). The session also states where a metric has to be designed rather than picked: an exact-JSON match scores an email generator at zero, so the joke app's custom metric judges topic and family-appropriateness instead.SAP Developers, published 2026-10-01

Unlocking Tabular Foundation Models: From Experimentation to ProductionUnlocking Tabular Foundation Models: From Experimentation to ProductionA Devtoberfest 2026 session (AI-41) on taking tabular prediction from a playground to a deployment. It sets tabular foundation models against a model trained per use case and against language models reading rows as text, explains in-context learning as examples plus the rows whose target column is missing, and tries SAP RPT 1.6 on a train-delay dataset in the RPT playground, including the column and row importance it returns with the prediction. The same prediction is then rebuilt on SAP AI Core, where the tabular orchestration service plays the part the orchestration service plays for language models: a data destination, a table artifact with its CSN schema and a scenario configuration registered once at design time, after which a predict call passes only the query rows, the scenario configuration and a context-selection strategy. The last demo runs those same calls in natural language through the aicore-skills plugin in a coding agent, and one of them only resolves once the agent is told which scenario configuration to use.SAP Developers, published 2026-10-15
