We use SAP conversational AI to set up multifunctional bots to work on the repetitive tasks in the firm. We largely use the bots, and chatbots to be specific on our websites to improve how we engage with our customers. SAP bots have actually made work easier by taking over the time-consuming, low-value tasks. It has stretched our engagements with our audiences through integration with Facebook and Instagram.
  • It performs relatively well in natural language processing.
  • Permits analyzing the text inputs at anytime.
  • The chatbots are highly customizable- we uploaded the one with a mask during the covid-19 pandemic which went a long way in making our websites fun.
  • More improvements should be made on reporting, maybe upgrade from the cluster of tables and figures.
It would be most suitable to help you attain swift conversation flows as you engage with your audiences. The bots are also of indispensable value in handling repetitive tasks around the firm such as automated HR resourcing expeditions or marketing campaigns or any other important but monotonous tasks. I however admit that analyzing the bot's performance is quite complex, have an RPA specialist around.

It is an accessible and very flexible software. Thanks to its integrations we can use it with different solutions to build different multilingual Chatbots for our instant messaging tools very quickly and without problems.
  • Seamless and intuitive UI/UX.
  • Provides native NLP support for different languages.
  • Ability to activate by voice
  • Multilingual.
  • It is a very intuitive platform, but prior knowledge is needed to build a chatbot.
SAP Conversational AI is a powerful platform, with NLP capabilities available in many languages. It can be used for text-based chatbots. It is not limited to any particular industry or use case as it can be used by companies from different industries depending on their needs.

SAP Conversational AI is primarily used in chatbots to help customers navigate different products in an e-commerce setting. It's low on code so it can be easily integrated with current systems or legacy systems. It provides an end-to-end bot-building platform to companies that want to start exploring new AI use cases.
  • Chatbots.
  • Text Processing.
  • Bot training and Bot testing.
  • Natural language processing features.
  • Bot connector doesn't get integrated with multiple messaging channels.
  • Pricing can be made more competitive.
  • Demos can be made more intuitive for customers with no prior experience.
Since SAP Conversational AI is a low code platform for chatbots, it is very appropriate for large-scale natural language processing, deploying chatbot systems, and training AI models efficiently. It gives the functionality for bot building, bot connectivity, bot analytics, and much more. The areas which aren't appropriate are the classical machine learning areas like regression, classification, etc.

We are using SAP Conversational AI to develop intelligent personal assistant for B2B and B2C which serve to day to day business problems to reduce dependency on live agents etc. SAP Conversational AI is a very effective and efficient platform to build chatbot as it includes very less coding to achieve simple logical solution to a problem as compared to other platforms. It has good exposure to various useful channels like Microsoft teams, Facebook etc. and has a prospect for fallback channel to live agent connectivity as well.
  • It’s rich library of message formatting and rendering and support to various languages.
  • It’s intelligent and capable of recognizing the sentiment level as well as its machine learning capability is amazing to capture the user intentions.
  • Building a bot does not need a lot of knowledge of coding and does not need a lot of coding. It’s very easy to develop and maintain.
  • Tutorial and API reference guide needs improvement so that developers can figure it solution easily. A lot of blogs have been started coming up however, the guide needs to have some examples.
  • Not enough mechanism or tutorial available for bot monitoring.
  • Limited fallback channel options for connected to live agent which does not making it open to other platforms where SAP interaction center.
Very good product by SAP to build AI Chatbots quickly and deploy on any platform. Unlike other platforms it does not need extensive knowledge of coding for building bots. It comes with very strong analytical capability because of it’s multilingual NLP technology. A complete end to end platform to build, train and monitor. I liked the part of monitoring which is an inevitable part of the platform for support and making bot futuristic.

Another plus point being SAP keeps bringing and adding new features for improving user as well as developer's experience on the bot platform.

It is used as a recommendation for implementing chatbot features in enterprise applications which makes the end-user experience hassle-free, without the need for accessing SAP applications independently and hence saves a lot of time. Leave management information and other HR information is available with easy queries without the need of navigating to different screens.
  • Ability to use natural language with a match of near specific or exact words.
  • Easy user interface.
  • Available actions on the go and apt suggestions for the next step.
  • More documentation on the usability features.
  • A richer user interface would attract users towards it.
  • The algorithm for understanding the words and language and small typos can be improved upon.
SAP Conversational AI is well suited for HR scenarios such as fetching your leave information on the go; applying leave and also approving if you are a manager. It is also suited for sales leads such as fetching your tasks on the go; what meetings you have and what are the key insights you need; basically information which you can access on the go without actually being on the system.

At that time we found ourselves in the development of Chatbot for our clients through SAP CAI using the established communication channels. Additionally, we use the API to establish the connection via WhatsApp. It is currently used by the Evolution department. For business problems we are currently addressing a Support Center or global customer service.
  • The management of Natural Language through the use of entities and intents is excellent.
  • It allows you to apply good practices using the test of the expressions that are thought to be added in the intents, where it allows you to validate if the expression you are thinking of adding is being taken by two intents.
  • As an improvement, I think it would be interesting not to reset the memory when you make the request called from the webhook.
Looking from a global point of view and the ability to integrate through the use of Webhook, I think any scenario would be available or suitable for SAP Conversational AI: Service Support Center, for financial and credit entities, at the level of educational consultation, etc.

We use Conversational AI in our IT services department to encourage employees to use self-service for their common questions and activities. We are also looking to expand this into more departments and add some more functionalities in order to really enable our users to leverage the chatbot interface. Currently, we are adding some FAQs.
  • FAQs.
  • Getting data from our APIs.
  • Small talk.
  • Language support.
  • UI customization.
Through triggering several skills, the solution can target specific APIs and display data nicely and in a human-like form. Employees can check their payslips or use it to raise tickets with HR or other departments. By working with some experts in SAP Conversational AI, we were able to meet all our needs.

SAP Conversational AI is used currently for chatbot for deployment on our organization's website as a digital assistance for customer support and informational conversations to replace/complement the need for a human support staff.
  • SAP Conversational AI in addition to providing the chatbot features also integrates bot analytics without the need for much setup/deployment work.
  • It is possible to code SAP Conversational AI chatbot in multiple coding languages (Node.js, Python, PHP, iOS, etc.) that makes it easy both implement as well as integrate with existing IT stacks (eg. Analytics, AI, Databases).
  • SAP Conversational AI is easy to implement and get it running especially if you are already using SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
  • SAP can certainly provide better and more clear documentation on how to customize and deploy the chatbot/use SAP Conversational AI.
  • There is lot less developer community around SAP Conversational AI so it is hard to get help from outside developers and experts on best practices, hacks and existing applications/integrations.
  • It is hard to use SAP Conversational AI outside SAP S/4HANA Cloud, for example on AWS or GCP or in a multi cloud environment.
SAP Conversational AI is very well suited if you are already a SAP shop (i.e. your IT is based on SAP S/4HANA) and are looking for large scale chatbot functionality spanning multiple channels and integrations. It is less appropriate when the deployment is small and you are using a third-party cloud vendor (Google, AWS, Azure, etc.).

For the following reasons, SAP Conversational AI is being used in our organization:
  1. Enables immediate responses to our Business Users’ SAP and support related questions in French and German during and outside of office hours anytime, anywhere through the Group Mutual Web site or HelpDesk system.
  2. Conveys a positive and modern image to our Users, many of which have successfully embraced the chatbot, as evidenced by a 75% first-time resolution rate.
  • Natural language processing.
  • Integration with social networks and legacy systems.
  • User-friendly.
  • Predefined templates/BOTs.
  • Minimum or no code; can be configured by any business user.
  • Task scheduler.
It's good for tedious or recurring tasks done by the BOT.

SAP Conversational AI (CAI) is an excellent tool for the design of bots that handle processes through workflows and even better that they use natural language processing NPL. In our company we use it to develop and implement the bot for our help desk. And some bots for other customers. We use its excellent integration with Telegram, Facebook Messenger and even WhatsApp. It allowed us that in both platforms the iteration was identical since they all used SAP CAI as a base.
  • Integration with other communication platforms like Telegram, FaceBook Messenger, Amazon Alexa
  • Easy to develop intelligent bots
  • Excellent performance
  • Integration with control version software like Git and GitHub
  • Quality revision with integration with SonarQ, for example
  • Some additional plugins to extend features
It's great to create NPL bots and test them.
Is hard to implement single bots like a workflow process.

We used it to prepare a POC for a contest. We needed to let a user insert a warning notice by just using his voice.
  • Guide new users in onboarding process.
  • Let user talk freely without reading from a screen or pressing in it.
  • Gaining general information from user before engaging a real employee.
  • Other languages besides English.
  • Let organize workflows drive the conversation.
  • More standard domains.
It is really useful when used in English but I really found it difficult to use for instance in Italian. It's really important to have support for more languages because it's important to keep the use of chatbot simple.

I am currently implementing it at an infrastructure company. I find the connection with SAP S/4HANA On-Premise systems is not very efficient yet. Moreover since I am implementing in Dutch, I found the entity recognition algorithm of Conversational AI shows some anomalies.
  • SAP Conversational AI is the chatbot platform for SAP product environment. It has very easy integration features with the whole SAP landscape.
  • There will soon be a lot of out-of-the-box skills available for different SAP products like SuccessFactors, etc.
  • SAP Conversational AI prototyping is free. Hence it is extremely easy to create a POC for a client.
  • Conversational AI supports internationalization very efficiently. The only problem is that there isn’t any direct tool in the Conversational AI platform which will translate intents from English to other locales.
  • With the latest release, Conversational AI bot connectors have matured a lot, hence the implementation effort for Conversational AI in an SAP landscape has been reduced drastically.
  • The Conversational AI bot building platform is very simple to use, and intuitive, hence it isn't an issue for a beginner to start working with it. For simple skills you also don’t need to code.
  • There is no option to export all intents. This makes translation of skills very effort consuming.
  • There are no data masking features in Conversational AI. Hence some clients feel uncomfortable when their data is being sent to the cloud. But Conversational AI is GDPR compliant.
  • It is tricky to implement a Conversational AI bot in a non-SAP environment. Though it is possible.
SAP Conversational AI is best suited if you need a virtual assistant across all your SAP landscapes in the organization. It is not the best solution if you are using any 3rd party or legacy systems.

We use it to implement a simple Chatbot for our own website. With the way the user interface works we could use it in other departments and other people could implement conversational flows. This way we don't need engineers to work the bot. With simple CSS manipulation we can make the bot look the way we want it to.
  • Simple User Interface
  • Simple Backend to work with and easy implementation of conversational flows
  • Fast response time
  • The overall uptime of the servers
  • The options to customize the UI
Well suited for easy conversational flows without the hassle to manage coding with an expert. Small to medium sized conversations are good to implement. I don't think that deeper conversations would be a problem, but it is initially very time consuming to implement a conversational flow over the backend with drag and drop.

This was used in a pilot run for a support project to make data easily available to customers without waiting for a support team to reply back. With the help of SAP CAI, we were able to get the table level data onto the customer ticketing tool which reduced the information time, reduced new ticket creation, and reduced man hours.
  • Multiple language support.
  • Short implementation time.
  • API based, so easily integrated with other tools like Skype for Business and social.
  • Better knowledge centers/forums to train SAP consultants on this technology. No good best practices found on SAP training hub nor on SAP provider (SAP SCN/ FAQ etc). Would like something like SAP best practices for core modules. We find documentation is missing.
Well suited where users request a lot of information ( like PO status, customer status/information, table level information). SAP CAI reduced the wait time for users to create a new ticket in our ticketing tool and the wait for a reply from offshore support (who were in different time zone and had to keep on checking on ticket status). With SAP CAI, information is received without human interaction in real-time. It also works on mobile (thanks to API integrations which connects on all social media pages).

SAP Conversational AI is used for an HR chatbot. It answers simple questions related to expenses but also is integrated with our SAP SF EC using webhooks, using CPI. In its current status, it serves just our UK team of about 300 employees.
  • Recognize intents in different languages
  • Easy to use
  • Channels
  • It should include scripting capabilities (just small snippets) as is very complicated to incorporate better logic when comparing memory status
  • It should provide a list of possible intents, not just the main one
  • Not easily integrated with other SAP products
  • Does not have the capability of "scanning" documents and provide answers based on that doc. Other competitors are better prepared in this regard
  • Voice recognition
  • Better tracing and logging... maybe debugging
Best suited for simple scenarios.

We use SAP Conversational AI as an intelligent assistant for our support process and new request handling. We are using it for our customers and are automating their L1 support process (e.g SAP user password reset, user creation, creating a ticket in correct component based on issue and subject).

The bot is hosted in Skype and it is pretty good in terms of handling requests from the end-user. The process used to be complex. End-users used to create a ticket for each invidual request and then it used to take time for processing all these. With SAP Conversational AI, it's much much simpler, no longer takes as long, doesn't create a large load on resources, and it is saving time and resources at the same time.
  • Building a bot is very easy because it comes with a great UI. Non-AI and ML developers can develop a chatbot with it. Not too much coding required. You need to know either node.js or Python to build webhook only.
  • Recent features like factbot, generating bot from odata, and SSO for S/4HANA make it more unique and enterprise-grade which is very rare to see in other chatbot platforms.
  • There are many organizations who don't want to host any chatbots in public-facing social media for security reasons. SAP CAI gives the freedom of choice to host in their own client application.
  • Currently what it is missing is language support in all the languages. There are many places where people don't speak English. Training bots in different languages like Portuguese, Chinese, etc. is pretty difficult as most of the advanced functionality of NLP are only available for English, Dutch, or French in SAP CAI.
  • Except for the SSO based web client feature, if someone wants to host their chatbot in another social channel like Telegram or Facebook Messenger, they have to take care of user authentication themselves as there is no embedded security framework for handling authentication.
  • Currently SAP CAI has some standard channels but should offer more, like Google Assistant and WhatsApp.
Good for building any kind of enterprise chatbot or if someone wants to create an enterprise smart assistant. If someone is looking to automate L1 support like user management, HR information details, or any ERP system insights, or maybe in the banking sector someone wants to know account information, SAP Conversational AI is just a perfect fit.

It is less appropriate if you are looking for designing a trivia-based game or social bot.

We are using SAP Conversational AI in the HR Department to answer the common questions about licenses, benefits, etc. We have recurrent questions.
Also, we have a department of research and development where we are studying potential uses cases of chatbots. The research is for sales opportunities to potential customers that they want to solve their administration issues in their organizations.
  • Machine Learning proposed phrases.
  • Multi-language support.
  • Integration with multi-channels.
  • Easy implementation for multichannel IM.
  • Support with Google Home.
  • Memory support for Spanish language.
  • Native WhatsApp support.
It is suitable for the use of recurring query bots, such as human resources. It is unusable if you need it to interact with IoT devices, which is something to evaluate since there would be an important gap in its implementation.

It's used only by the department for test purposes but also in a specific case for a client involving a FAQ bot. Our concerns are related to the algorithms to classify documents. I heard SAP will release an update with this feature to upload documents for training and we are looking forward to them.
  • Native connection for Alexa and SAP platforms
  • Memory management
  • Language support
  • Webhook is easily configurable for OData services. There could be better documentation about it.
  • Features to improve the NLP.
It can be perfectly used for customer service in a web page or even on another channel. The functionalities can be improved using the webhook (for more complex implementations) but if you need a more robust NLP, maybe it's not the better option.

So far, we are developing prototypes to be tested and considered for clients in the future. It's being used only by the technical team.
  • Easy UI
  • Lots of channel integrations
  • Different programming languages
  • There could be a platform to help us build the webhook.
  • Destination input inside the platform to ease the connection to the backend system.
  • More customizations for the bot UI (different styles, change of images).
It's a great tool for simple READ operations of a backend system, like checking product prices, sales delivery dates, list product items, but not very suitable for complex NLP tasks, such as index a Word document and look for answers based on an input from the user.
