A practical look at what it actually takes to build production-grade agentic AI on SAP Business AI Platform.

Speakers

Two Semos Cloud engineers build a pro-code AI agent for SAP Joule, live and unedited, recorded as part of SAP's Build Discovery Days program. A manager asks a real question, who on her team moved most on engagement last quarter, and gets back a grounded answer with a chart, inside the Joule conversation itself. The recording walks through the full architecture behind that answer: an MCP server for scoped data access, a LangGraph agent for reasoning, A2A for connecting to Joule, and the two-artifact pattern that gets a real chart into the chat instead of a static screenshot, then opens the actual GitHub repository so you can rebuild it yourself.

Key Takeaways

  • Pro-code wins once it matters. Low-code is fine for a demo, but the moment an agent touches data a manager actually relies on, grounding and guardrails need to live in real code, not a template.
  • Access, reasoning, and rendering are three separate problems. The AI part turns out to be the easy one, getting real data in safely and a real chart out is where the actual engineering effort goes.
  • A Joule Skill template can only return text. Getting an actual chart into the chat required a deliberate second step, not a workaround bolted on afterward.
  • Guardrails work as hard rules, not prompts. Never guess a number, never expose an internal ID, never open a write path, each one closes a failure the team actually hit.
  • Running it is simpler than it sounds. One process on Cloud Foundry, no separate database, no queue, nothing exotic to operate once it's built.
