Who said that a new year means a new challenge? Well, that’s never been so true!

Let’s launch the new 2022 AI & Automation tutorial challenge on SAP Community, starting now.

Today, infusing artificial intelligence and automation capabilities are key to enabling automated, accelerated, and sustainable corporate processes, and thus building intelligent enterprises of tomorrow.

With this new tutorial challenge, we invite you to showcase your valuable development skills to the community using AI and automation products available on the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) by building actionable business use cases and winning awesome prizes! 🎉

How does it work? 🧐


It’s quite simple!

You'll have to publish a step-by-step tutorial blog post on SAP Community explaining how you created a use case involving at least two of the following products/services available on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP):

All these services are part of the free-tier model of SAP BTP, allowing you to start with a productive account right away — try out selected services up to a specified capacity limit and switch easily to the paid service plan, without losing any work.

Visit this page for more information.

In addition, the use case can also integrate other services and applications, both SAP (e.g. SAP S/4HANA, SAP SuccessFactors…) and non-SAP.
