One key difference between Classic Joule Studio and the New Joule Studio is the development approach.

The Classic Joule Studio primarily focuses on extending Joule by creating custom skills and agents for specific business needs.

The New Joule Studio takes a broader AI-first, intent-driven approach, where you describe the business outcome in natural language and use the same environment to build agents, applications, and workflows, from intent and requirements through development, testing, and deployment.

In short: Classic Joule Studio extends Joule; New Joule Studio provides a unified intent-to-outcome environment for building complete enterprise AI solutions.

Key difference: Classic Joule Studio — A low-code/no-code environment embedded in SAP Build, focused on creating Joule Skills  ->New Joule Studio — A fully managed, enterprise-scale AI development platform that supports the full lifecycle of AI agents, apps, and workflows

[vrushalip]

Classic Joule Studio is mainly a low-code/no-code tool used to create Joule Skills and Agents for specific business processes. You manually design the logic, actions, and workflows.

New Joule Studio (Joule Studio 2.0) is a full AI-first development environment that goes beyond skills and agents. It supports intent-based development, allowing users to describe a business requirement in natural language and automatically generate requirements, code scaffolding, test artifacts, workflows, and enterprise AI agents on an SAP-managed runtime.

Example -

Classic Joule Studio - You tell the system how to build a solution step by step.

New Joule Studio - You tell the system what you want, and the AI helps build most of it for you.

Classic joule studio used when you want to create custom Joule Skills or Joule Agents.
While New joule studio supports AI agents, applications, workflows, governance, testing, deployment, and runtime management in one place.

Key Difference - New Joule Studio relies on intent-based development without any manual configuration, which was required in the Classic Joule Studio.

[Tahemmout]

The new SAP Joule Studio introduced a new way to develop AI Agants using intent-based development rather than manual development.

[Jesus-Bohorquez]

Answer: One key difference is that Classic Joule Studio is a low-code environment within SAP Build, while the New Joule Studio is a fully independent IDE that requires zero infrastructure setup.

One of the difference is, New Joule Studio uses intent-first natural language to create and customize its own AI Agent

[kshanker1]

One key difference between the Classic Joule Studio and the New Joule Studio

Classic Joule Studio requires building Joule skills and agents manually in SAP Build — defining each action, integration, and configuration step by step.

New Joule Studio starts from a business intent stated in natural language, then generates the PRD, specification, code, tests, and deployment — agents, applications, or n8n workflows, on an SAP-managed runtime.

[Priyanka1]

New Joule Studio has option to integrate with n8n.

Workflow can be created easily.

Waiting for the trail version so that I can explore more and implement actual use-cases. 

[MatLakaemper]

Key difference between the Classic Joule Studio and the New Joule Studio:

Classic Joule Studio is largely a no-code/low-code builder within the SAP ecosystem. New Joule Studio adds "intent-based development"

for me very important is the integration with n8n
