ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Host Niklas Siemer is joined by Maria Kondratyeva, Product Manager for Joule Studio in SAP Build, for a deep dive into the newly announced SAP Build Agent Builder, a major step forward in helping organizations create their own custom AI Agents.
Niklas and Maria explore how SAP Build empowers low code and no code users to create content-based agents, while developers can extend capabilities using APIs, SAP Build Actions, and Model Context Protocol servers for deeper integration. They also highlight practical enterprise examples such as compensation proposal agents and warehouse operations agents that show how AI agents reduce manual work, accelerate decision making, and orchestrate processes across heterogeneous landscapes.
Whether you are a developer, architect, or process owner, this episode unpacks what it takes to operationalize AI responsibly. You will hear how SAP is approaching governance, human in the loop checks, Cloud ALM observability, and the future of agent-to-agent communication as Agent Builder becomes available on December 19.
Also in this episode:
- What Joule Skills are and how they compare to AI Agents
- Why agentic AI requires orchestration, autonomy, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints
- How SAP Build supports both low-code content-based agents and pro-code options
- How MCP unlocks safer, more standardized integration for AI agents
- How SAP is approaching governance, versioning, observability, and Cloud ALM integration
- What to expect on December 19 when Agent Builder becomes generally available

Plus, Maria shares her favorite hobbies, why tea is her daily companion, and two book recommendations that shaped her thinking on AI and complex systems.
