Faster Than Joule

I 1000% agree with Dirk Roeckmann’s post, the gist of which is that intelligence and speed in (this case) Gemini 2.5 Pro are probably more valuable than a “slow and expensive roll-out of a proprietary Joule offer”. Slow rollout of AI features just won't cut it.

Many commenters mention SAP Joule's advantage in hashtag#ABAP, by having millions of lines of code to fine-tune product features that are aimed at specific use cases and scenarios.

I would SO MUCH rather have AI that is more generally intelligent than AI that can get 5% better scores on ABAP syntax benchmarks. Claude is an absolute beast at generating code, and if you hook those capabilities into multi-agent/reflective chains, you will quickly see how much power you're missing if you only index on "it couldn't one-shot my nit-picky edge case". (Gemini 2.5 Pro and o3 are similarly intelligent.)

More general intelligence means that models can go down rabbit holes with you. They can make better guesses at what you're trying to accomplish. They can combine web search with other tools that you create on the fly.

SAP techie friends, don't just assume that Joule is the answer to every AI question. *Of course* there will be places where it's a better fit! But you are missing a huge forest for one tree if you just default into Joule-land.
