Dear SAP Fiori development newsletter subscriber,

Summer is here and it’s getting hot. I’m not just talking about the weather. AI is heating up both for the companies that create the large language models and everyone trying to keep up with the latest innovations. All while managing their token costs. SAP is embracing AI for our internal application development and the tools we provide customers and partners for building their own applications. 

Sapphire produced several major announcements around our development tools, the biggest being Joule Studio 2.0. Joule Studio 2.0 is SAP’s AI-first development environment for building custom AI agents, apps, and workflows. Powered by the SAP Business AI Platform.

As the development landscape shifts, we want to know what’s important to you. We are interested in how well SAPUI5 meets your needs today, which UI experiences you expect to dominate enterprise apps in the coming years, and which capabilities matter most for your future AI-powered development work. Please take this 5-minute survey. 

If you want to join other developers to discuss various traditional and AI-powered Fiori development-related topics from the comfort of your office or home, I encourage you to join our monthly SAP Fiori development roundtable.

Register online or email me for an invitation.

Your editorial team,
Peter Spielvogel and Oliver Graeff
