Introduction

Sharing this reference table I created as part of our SAP AI Adoption Team - North America. 

  • All recordings are hosted on SAP sites or official SAP channels on third party sites.
  • This list is not exhaustive (not all Joule use cases are captured but almost all Gen AI features are) and was last updated on June 13th, 2025.
  • It will be updated on an ongoing basis and after every release.
  • The list is inspired by the slides for each AI feature that can be found in the Business AI for HR - Set up Guide public presentation on the SAP Digital Library.

Additional public links

  • To put these AI features in the context of the SAP SuccessFactors suite of cloud HR solutions I highly recommend the Interactive Value Journey which in some cases also has recordings as well as the "Artificial Intelligence in SAP SuccessFactors Solutions" public presentation on SAP Digital Library.
  • For Business Value insights for each of these AI features I would recommend the Discovery Center (see Business Value 3 pager on each feature page) as well as the "Maximizing the value of AI for the business" public presentation.
  • The roadmap for HCM Business AI can be found here (feature by feature) or here (highlights)  
  • To learn more about SAP Business AI ethics and security visit the FAQs at the bottom of this page on the SAP website.
  • To understand what it takes to implement GenAI features, see here. For Joule, see here.

Additional information for SAP Employees (use internal search tools for links)

  • The AI Q&A tool called "SAP Content Discovery" (referencing official documents) can help draft initial answers to questions.
  • AI Adoption teams and Product Managers answer questions on Microsoft Teams channel "SuccessFactors Collaboration hub" > "Joule in SuccessFactors" and "Premium AI in SuccessFactors" sub-channels.
  • Q&A features of Large Language Model providers that SAP partners with (all the famous ones essentially) are accessible at no cost on the "SAP AI Launchpad" (select the Model you'd like to use in "Model Library" then navigate to "Chat").
  • "HCM AI Prompt Generator" helps find detailed prompts for specific use cases shared by other SAP colleagues.
  • In SAP Analytics Cloud there is a Story providing statistics on Premium AI across the board called "Premium AI Features Usage".
