    If you have a sprawling legacy codebase without human subject matter expertise, Claude can be a decent option to get you through some bug triage. However, if you have a legacy codebase and no SMEs, you have bigger problems than bugs. LLMs are known for their uncanny abilities to trick a certain type of user into believing they have created something beautiful and useful, and this undercurrent of delusion runs strong through Claude.

    Joule explained ATC findings, including root cause, business impact, recommended APIs, and examples of fixes for S/4HANA readiness checks. Joule today is a point-in-time assistant — great for one question, one generation, one explanation at a time. It is not yet capable of owning a full development flow.

    • Users can prompt Joule to create business partners in MDG.
    • The change process for Business partner (Customers/Suppliers) updation is made easy, particularly for updating data such as address and communication details.
    • The workflow process has been simplified by Joule agents, such as identifying the high-priority task and sharing it with the end user.
    • Improved data quality to almost 30%~50% in the CR creation process, which is a significant milestone for us.

    • In SuccessFactors Joule should have more tools out of the box.
    • There should be more examples on what is possible to do with Joule or Joule Studio in Successfactors, all available examples seem to focus only on Payroll or Inventory management leaving the HR behind.
    • Document Grounding should be easier to implement, and should be possible to have some kind of permissions per couuntry / user group for specific documents. The implementation with Sharepoint makes it harder to complete because normally we need some extra team to join and help and until now, I always had issues implementing it. I believe that it would make it much easier if the documents could be stored and managed inside SuccessFactors.

    As we explore, we can learn more. As i believe, we can only learn to live and live to learn stuffs. So as well AI does the same and improve itself. By trying and prompting joule more, we can use it in better ways. I would definitely wait and use the new versions shared in SAP Teched on Joule with more LLM involved

    I would rate Joule’s overall usability a 10 out of 10 because it makes interacting with SAP incredibly simple, intuitive, and fast. The conversational interface removes the complexity normally associated with navigating SAP modules, running transactions, or building reports. Even non-technical users can get meaningful insights within seconds just by asking natural language questions.

    Usually support for Joule takes longer than normal, and the correct answer always takes a long time to get, or we just don't get it at all, and we fix ourselves.

    I still prefer GPT for conversational AI and image generation. Anthropic Claude is more of a tool to actually do something. Where GPT will get you the info you need, Anthropic Claude is much better suited to building something into your application. If I want to build a spreadsheet or if I want to turn a website into a PowerPoint presentation. I do it on Anthropic Claude.

    Joule is better because it doesn't take only data available on the web, but combines that with data provided directly by the game publisher through API to us which includes every single match played = all data points from all of those matches. That means that for us Joule gives deeper insights than any online AI chat agent could do
