Perplexity and SAP: Turbocharging Joule with Real-Time Answers for Every Enterprise

By integrating Perplexity’s ability to answer questions accurately and transparently with business answer capabilities, we are bringing both worlds together: the power of Joule to answer your business questions, and the power of Perplexity to understand what’s happening in the world.

Dr. Philipp Herzig, Chief Technology Officer at SAP SE

Perplexity wants to have accurate, trustworthy answers wherever people are making decisions. SAP empowers workers in businesses around the world to make trillions of dollars of decisions every year.  We have a shared goal of ensuring that enterprises and knowledge workers can rely on precise, secure answers whenever business-critical insight matters most.

Real-Time Answers Embedded in Joule

Perplexity’s answer engine is being embedded directly into SAP Joule, signaling a bold new chapter in how companies leverage trusted intelligence.

Anyone using SAP Joule will get instant, AI-powered answers-right inside their SAP workflows. Whether you're tackling strategic projects or fielding ad-hoc data questions, Perplexity’s contextual search will bridge the gap between enterprise information and action.

Together with new business answer capabilities from SAP using Perplexity and SAP’s Knowledge Graph, users can ask Joule questions and instantly receive structured answers like metrics, and visual answers, such as charts or graphs, grounded in real-time business data within SAP workflows. For example, a user can ask the tool how recent external events might impact their business and get multiple scenarios based on both current events and the company’s own business data.

What This Unlocks

• Clarity from Complexity: Perplexity’s technology cuts through enterprise data noise, surfacing relevant, reliable answers on demand.

• Trust at Every Turn: We blend Perplexity’s search smarts with SAP’s secure business content, respecting privacy, data ownership, and enterprise standards.

• Solutions at Scale: This integration isn’t just a product feature-it’s a leap in how organizations find and use business-critical knowledge.

Looking Ahead

From enhanced enterprise Q&A to deeper knowledge workflows, this collaboration helps workers make business intelligence even more actionable. With Enterprise Pro, our Sonar API, and Perplexity Pro, our vision is to help people get the best answers whenever and wherever they need them.
