At SAP Sapphire on May 12, 2026, SAP announced the Autonomous Enterprise: 50+ domain-specific Joule Assistants across finance, supply chain, procurement, and HR, each orchestrating subsets of 200+ specialized agents. The Autonomous Close Assistant compresses the financial close from weeks to days via automated journal entries and reconciliation. Joule Studio provides no-code and pro-code tooling for building enterprise agents on SAP-managed infrastructure. Foundation models in scope include Anthropic's Claude; bidirectional agent-to-agent interoperability is enabled with Google Cloud and Microsoft agent frameworks. Rollout continues through 2026–2027.
