Joule Studio turns intent into enterprise-ready agents
It's an AI-first environment where the starting point is a sentence, not a blank canvas. Here's what you'll get hands-on with during the challenge.
Intent-based development
Describe what an agent should do in natural language. Joule Studio proposes the architecture, tools, and logic — then generates the runnable agent for you to refine.
SAP Business AI Platform
Agents run natively on SAP BTP with governance, identity, and lifecycle management built in — the same foundation your enterprise landscape already trusts.
n8n workflow orchestration
Extend agents on a managed n8n canvas with native SAP and BTP connectors. Chain steps, add approvals, and orchestrate long-running processes visually.
Knowledge Graph grounding
Reuse SAP business context and Knowledge Graph grounding so agents answer with your real data — not guesses — and stay accurate across your processes.
Four weeks, one working agent
A preparatory series to get the community fluent in Joule Studio before its fall release. Complete Week 2 to claim your badge.

Before you start
- Do I need prior AI experience?
- No. The whole point of intent-based development is that you describe outcomes in plain language. If you can write a clear sentence about what an agent should do, you can complete this challenge.
- What do I need to get started?
- A free SAP BTP trial account and a SAP Community profile. Everything you build runs in the trial environment — no license or purchase required.
- Is Joule Studio generally available yet?
- Not yet. This challenge is a preparatory series to get the community familiar with Joule Studio ahead of its expected fall release and showcase at SAP TechEd in October.
- What exactly is n8n doing here?
- n8n is integrated into Joule Studio as a managed environment on SAP BTP. You orchestrate agent steps visually on the n8n canvas using native SAP and BTP connectors.
- How do I actually earn the badge?
- Complete the Week 2 learning journey — set up the Business AI Platform, build your first AI agent from intent, and connect an n8n workflow. The badge is granted for finishing that journey.
