Starting a new year, we often ask ourselves: "How can we better serve our customers?"

 

We've been listening to your feedback, and our February release of the SAP CX AI Toolkit directly addresses the real challenges you've shared with us.

 

The latest update brings practical improvements that tackle your day-to-day pain points – from making sense of scattered customer data to simplifying those repetitive tasks that eat up your team's valuable time.

 

What is SAP CX AI Toolkit?

SAP CX AI Toolkit brings Joule AI agents and Business AI capabilities to your SAP Sales, Service, and Commerce Cloud applications.

 

Part of SAP Business Suite, it combines your enterprise data including Business Data Cloud with purpose-built AI to make every team member more effective. From smart ticket routing to instant knowledge access, it delivers practical AI that works from day one in a trusted, secure environment

 

New Features at a Glance 

  • AI Agents: Add Digital workers to your team to unlock higher productivity and efficiency gains
  • Shopping Assistant (Pilot): Enable your customers to easily discover intended, relevant products
  • Commerce Intelligence: Add AI-powered image overlays, summarize reviews, and extract product details from images
  • AI Tool Builder Enhancements:  Analyze opportunities, cases, and accounts together in one prompt to spot business patterns

Let's explore what's new and how these features can benefit your organization.

 

Joule Agents for CX Join Your Team

The star of this release is our new suite of autonomous Joule agents that work alongside your teams. They work behind the scenes with your SAP Sales Cloud and SAP Service Cloud applications to enhance your workflows.

If you're wondering what this means in practice, here's a real scenario:

A customer submits a support ticket about a failed login attempt. Within seconds, our Case Classification Agent reads it, understands it's an account access issue with high priority, and routes it to your identity management team. Meanwhile, the Q&A Agent is already pulling relevant solutions from your knowledge base, and once resolved, the Knowledge Base Article Agent will automatically create documentation to help solve similar issues in the future.

This is just one example of how these agents work together to streamline your operations. Let's dive into what they can do:

 

Case Classification Agent

How It Works

When a customer submits a service request, the agent automatically:

  • Reads and comprehends the content using natural language understanding
  • Identifies the type of issue and its urgency
  • Determines the most appropriate team based on the content
  • Sets the correct details like product, language or whatever else is important to you
  • Updates relevant ticket fields to ensure proper handling

 

Real-World Example

Let's say a customer submits a ticket about a failed login attempt:

  1. The agent recognizes this as an account access issue
  2. Identifies it as high priority due to its impact on user access
  3. Routes it directly to the identity management team
  4. Updates the ticket category, priority, and assignment fields
  5. All of this happens in seconds, without manual intervention

Knowledge Creation Agent

This agent turns your team's case resolutions into valuable knowledge base content, automatically capturing and sharing expertise across your organization.

 

How It Works

When a case is resolved, the agent:

  • Analyzes the solution provided
  • Extracts key information and steps
  • Creates a structured knowledge article
  • Adds relevant tags and categories
  • Publishes a draft back to the case for review and add to your knowledge base

 

Real-World Example

After your team resolves a complex product configuration issue:

  1. The agent reviews the resolution steps
  2. Creates a clear, structured article
  3. Includes troubleshooting steps and solution
  4. Tags it with relevant products and categories
  5. Makes it available for future reference

Q&A Agent

The Q&A Agent transforms how your organization accesses and utilizes internal knowledge. Instead of searching through multiple systems, users can ask questions naturally and receive accurate, sourced answers instantly.

 

How It Works

When someone asks a question, the agent:

  • Understands the intent and context of the query
  • Searches across configured knowledge sources
  • Evaluates potential answers for relevance
  • Provides responses with source references

 

Real-World Example

When a sales representative needs pricing information:

  1. It identifies the question "What are the pricing tiers for our enterprise cloud solution?"
  2. The agent analyzes the question to understand:
    • The specific product line being asked about
    • The need for pricing structure information
    • The enterprise-level context
  3. It searches across relevant sources like:
    • Price sheets
    • Policy documents
    • Previous similar queries
  4. The agent provides a structured response:
    • Clear tier breakdowns
    • Source details

We're also excited to announce the pilot of our Shopping Assistant. Early adopters are seeing how it transforms basic product searches into meaningful conversations that help customers find exactly what they need.

A customer looking for a laptop doesn't just get a list of products - they get an intelligent assistant that asks about their needs, understands their preferences, and guides them to the perfect match.

The enhanced builder now lets you reference multiple CRM records in your custom AI Tool prompts. Here's what that means in practice:

  • Account-Level Analysis: Create tools that examine all opportunities, cases and more linked to an account, giving you a comprehensive view of customer engagement
