Meet the Experts
Sean Kask, Chief AI Strategy Officer at SAP, sat down with host Robert Holland while at Sapphire 2026 in Orlando to discuss SAP’s AI shift and how it impacts customers. The conversation covered how SAP is guiding enterprise customers through the transition from isolated AI pilots to integrated autonomous agents, the role that ERP plays as the business context layer for AI agents, democratizing AI agent creation using Joule Studio 2.0, how SAP will manage multi-vendor agent orchestration, and the company’s newly announced Rapid 1.5 model and what it means as a foundation model strategy.
During the conversation there is a brief discussion of “500 agents” which is a little difficult to understand due to the background noise. This is referring to the fact that: “SAP AI Agent Hub is now included in every SAP Business AI Platform subscription with Joule Studio, with free discovery of agents across your landscape and processes, and free management of up to 500 SAP and non-SAP agents.” More information is available in this LinkedIn post by Philipp Herzig, Chief Technology Officer for SAP.
