SAP
AI agent
AI agents encoded with SAP business-process expertise that automate workflows at scale, coordinated by context-aware assistants across finance, supply chain, spend management, HR and customer-experience functions.
A unified workspace where people describe a goal in natural language and Joule surfaces insights, automates routine work and coordinates Joule Agents across SAP and non-SAP systems, available as web, desktop and mobile apps.
Platform
Vendor-agnostic command center for discovering, inventorying, governing and evaluating AI agents, LLMs and MCP servers across SAP, Microsoft, Google, AWS, Databricks and ServiceNow, with observability, identity/access control and agent mining.
Centralized AI lifecycle management across multiple SAP AI Core runtime instances -- resource groups, generative AI prompt lifecycle, model training/deployment and consumption analytics for SAP BTP.
Unifies and governs SAP and third-party data via a business data fabric, providing the trusted data foundation for agentic AI (Joule Agents); bundles SAP Analytics Cloud, Datasphere, Business Warehouse, Databricks, HANA Cloud and Master Data Governance under one data platform.
Centralized platform for accessing SAP and third-party generative AI models through SAP AI Core, with prompt experimentation, orchestration and inference observability for building enterprise AI applications.
Snowflake
AI agent
A data-native autonomous coding agent, rebranded from Cortex Code, that turns natural-language requests into pipelines, analytics, models, apps and agents from a desktop app, CLI or Snowsight.
An enterprise AI work agent, rebranded from Snowflake Intelligence, letting knowledge workers question enterprise data and act across connected tools such as Slack, Gmail and Salesforce.
Platform
Managed data platform for storing, querying and governing data, with model and agent features running next to it.
Set of model, search and agent features that run inside Snowflake against data already in the account.
No counterpart
SAP sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Snowflake yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Application
Natural-language generative-AI copilot embedded across SAP's cloud applications, answering questions and taking actions across HR, finance, supply chain, procurement and customer-experience data.
Embedded machine learning that automates matching of incoming payments to open invoices in accounts receivable, learning continuously from accountants' correction behaviour.
End-to-end intelligent document processing for structured and unstructured business documents, using OCR, pretrained transformers and LLMs to extract and validate data, embedded across SAP applications such as Ariba, S/4HANA Cloud and Concur.
AI assistance for consultants working on SAP implementation and cloud-transformation projects, grounded in a knowledge base of SAP-focused content.
Developer tool
SAP's AI-first development environment for building custom AI agents, apps and workflows with low-code and pro-code tools, powered by the SAP Business AI Platform.
Embedded AI capabilities in SAP Build and ABAP Cloud that generate application code, data models, tests and UI from natural-language prompts, including an SAP-trained ABAP large language model.
Infrastructure service
Sovereign cloud environment giving European enterprises and German public-sector organizations governed access to auditable LLMs from SAP and partners (including Cohere and Mistral AI), built on SAP Cloud Infrastructure to meet EU AI Act and GDPR requirements.
Data service
Connects a company's SAP data fabric to AI for grounded, hallucination-resistant answers; grounds Joule and other AI services in customer business context, with pre-populated knowledge graphs for SAP solutions.
Snowflake sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for SAP yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
API service
A REST API that orchestrates Cortex Analyst, Cortex Search and custom tools in a single reasoning loop for building enterprise AI agents.
A Cortex API that converts natural-language questions into governed SQL against a semantic model for self-service analytics.
A managed hybrid vector-and-keyword retrieval service for building RAG applications over Snowflake-hosted structured and unstructured data.
A Cortex document-processing service, built on Snowflake's Arctic-TILT model, that extracts structured data from PDFs and other unstructured documents.
