From finance and procurement to supply chain and manufacturing, specialized AI agents are moving into the enterprise systems where business decisions are made, data is accessed and workflows run at scale.
Announced today at SAP Sapphire — where NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang joined SAP CEO Christian Klein’s keynote by video — SAP and NVIDIA’s expanded collaboration helps enterprises run specialized agents with security and governance controls.
SAP embeds NVIDIA OpenShell — an open source runtime for securely developing and deploying autonomous AI agents — into SAP Business AI Platform. In addition, SAP engineers are codesigning OpenShell alongside NVIDIA, contributing back to the open source project.
OpenShell provides isolated execution environments, policy enforcement at the filesystem and network layers, and infrastructure-level containment that guards against damage when agent logic fails.
Within SAP Business AI Platform, OpenShell is the runtime security layer for all SAP AI agents, including custom agents built in Joule Studio — SAP’s environment for building and managing end-to-end enterprise agents.
