Joule is directly built into SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition and will boost business process efficiency and user experience. You can express your business need in a natural language and Joule will grant you a quick and seamless access to the user enablement content by providing insights on business objects or guiding you to applications. This feature transforms how you interact with the system.

Joule is a comprehensive solution designed to understand the complexity of your business processes and will revolutionize how you interact with the system. It provides transparent, role-based access to relevant processes, making interactions intuitive and seamless. By enabling natural conversations between users and systems, Joule enhances productivity and delivers valuable insights. The three supported conversational patterns are:

• Navigational: Joule helps users find required functionality within SAP systems.

• Informational: Joule provides insights based on the SAP Help documentation data.
