Dear All,

Extending SAP applications with generative AI
SAP has provided the entry point to Generative AI, with a BTP application SAP AI Launchpad which can be found in SAP Discovery Center.
SAP AI Launchpad is a multitenant software as a service (SaaS) application in the SAP Business Technology Platform. Customers and partners can use SAP AI Launchpad to manage AI use cases (scenarios) across multiple instances of AI runtimes (such as SAP AI Core). SAP AI Launchpad also provides generative AI capabilities via the Generative AI Hub.
The below diagram is quite self-explanatory and helps to understand SAP capability in Generative AI.
Now let us talk about the Generative AI business use cases
The below diagram shows some more use cases.
I hope this will spark more interest in the areas of AI and GenAI, I would like to mention that technology is ever-evolving. GenAI seems to have a long road ahead.
