Development backlogs outpace headcount
Teams need to ship more ABAP faster without growing headcount; an assistant that plans and writes code closes the gap without bypassing review.
— AI for SAP
AI DEVGUI: describe it. It plans it. It builds it in SAP.
AI DEVGUI connects an agentic AI development assistant to your SAP system through the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) API. It generates ABAP code, plans multi-object builds in the right dependency order, and applies each step only after your approval — running on SAP 7.40+ and S/4HANA, on Windows, macOS and Linux.
- API keys never leave your device
- OS-keychain credential encryption
- No telemetry or code collection
- Direct ADT connection — no extra middleware
Why now
Why teams adopt an agentic ABAP assistant
Context switching slows delivery
Developers lose time jumping between SE38, SE11, ST22 and documentation; a single IDE that reasons across all of them keeps the work in one place.
Automation still needs a human in the loop
Every generated object and every applied step waits for explicit approval, so automation speeds delivery without weakening governance.
Data must stay inside the landscape
Source code and credentials should never leave the company's control; keys stay local and encrypted, and nothing is sent to a vendor's servers.
Capabilities
What AI DEVGUI does
Generation, planning, analysis and troubleshooting — all against your live SAP system, all approval-gated.
Code Generation
Describe a requirement in natural language and get working ABAP back — reports, classes, function modules, interfaces and CDS views.
AI DEVGUI turns a plain-language description into functional ABAP code, handling syntax and error management along the way. Every change is shown as a line-based diff before it is applied, and deployment to SAP happens with one click.
Key benefits
- Generates reports, classes, function modules, interfaces and CDS views from natural-language requirements
- Line-based diff view for every proposed change
- One-click deployment to the connected SAP system
- Built-in syntax and error handling
Planning & Application
Describe a need once; AI DEVGUI plans every SAP object it requires and builds them in the right order.
For requirements that span multiple objects, AI DEVGUI plans packages, dictionary objects and code in dependency order. You review and adjust the plan before anything changes, and the system then applies each object step by step with your approval.
Key benefits
- Dependency-ordered planning across packages, dictionary objects and code
- Editable plan before execution begins
- Step-by-step application with approval at each stage
- Live validation during execution
Data Analysis
Ask a question about your SAP data in plain language; AI DEVGUI writes and runs the query.
Natural-language questions are converted into SQL. AI DEVGUI finds the right tables, writes the query, retrieves the data from SAP and interprets the results — with every query requiring approval before it runs against the system.
Key benefits
- Natural-language to SQL query generation
- Automatic table discovery
- Approval required before any query executes
- Pinnable results with auto-refresh widgets
Error Analysis
One click pulls the ST22 dump; AI finds the root cause.
AI DEVGUI lists ST22 short dumps and analyses runtime errors, call stacks and source context automatically, highlighting the code sections most likely responsible.
Key benefits
- One-click ST22 dump listing
- AI-assisted root-cause analysis
- Call-stack and source-context inspection
- Highlights the relevant code sections directly

Additional capabilities
Beyond code generation, AI DEVGUI covers the everyday tasks an ABAP team handles across SAP transactions.
Visual Builder
Drag-and-drop 55+ components to build runtime, AI-enhanced programs using ready-made AI nodes for image and PDF analysis, translation, classification and anomaly detection.
AI Memory
AI DEVGUI learns your SAP environment over time — table structures, query patterns and preferences carry across sessions, stored locally.
Code Review
Flags security vulnerabilities, performance issues and standards violations in a prioritised list.
Web Services
Manages SICF registration, handler classes and activation, and auto-generates OpenAPI schemas and Postman collections.
Report Execution
Runs SE38 programs directly from AI DEVGUI — no need to open SE38 separately.
Data Dictionary (SE11)
Search, create, edit and activate tables, structures, data elements and domains without leaving the application.
Discovery Assistant
Identifies which BAdIs, user-exits and enhancements are actually implemented in the live system.
INCLUDE Editing
Reads, edits and activates INCLUDE objects independently of the main program.
Spec Generation
Generates functional specification documents (.docx) automatically from existing code.
Governance
AI access, budget and enterprise control
Central administration, visible budgets and credentials that stay on the device.
AI Models & Control
- Choose the AI model per module (code chat, merge, etc.) or use sensible defaults, with the monthly budget always visible.
- A usage log shows the remaining monthly allocation and renewal date.
- Use your own API keys or a company-managed AI proxy.
Enterprise & Security
- Admins configure API access centrally; users never enter their own keys and operate within budget.
- Token usage and cost are tracked and pooled at company level.
- Credentials are encrypted in the OS keychain on macOS, Windows and Linux.
- Source code and data are never collected; code and keys are never sent to a license server.
- Role-based access: full access, data-analysis-only, or production-read-only.
- Code-signed distribution — Windows OV signature and macOS notarization.
