Building Joule Agents in Joule Studio: Agent Builder, Skills, Grounding and Evaluations
A build-oriented course on Joule Studio: the classic edition in the SAP Build lobby and the new, intent-based Joule Studio that SAP announced at Sapphire 2026. You design an agent's expertise, instructions, tools and escalation path; build Joule skills that call SAP S/4HANA APIs through destinations and trigger SAP Build Process Automation; ground the agent in documents and business data; and ship it through private, test and shared environments while free design-time access runs to the end of 2026. Every lesson ends with the evaluation set, guardrails and release gate a custom agent needs before it touches business data. Statuses as of 18 October 2026.
