SAP Sapphire saw LeanIX announce a built-in AI Assistant, AI-powered capabilities, and a repository of AI integrations. Let’s explore what’s new.
The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is still gathering pace and we’re continuing to empower your enterprise architecture practice with AI capabilities. Leveraging AI saves you manual effort and enhances productivity by completing enterprise architecture tasks within SAP LeanIX for you.
AI can never replace enterprise architects, or EA solutions, as it still needs to be fed data about your IT landscape before it can analyze, interpret, and optimize it. By leveraging AI agents within SAP LeanIX, however, you can do far more with less effort.
At Sapphire, SAP’s flagship event, we announced three new, powerful AI capabilities that we’ve added to our solution. From new AI agents, to AI-powered capabilities and integrations, we’re enhancing our dedicated, best-practice EA solution with AI usability.
To be one of the first to get hands-on with these powerful tools, book a demo above, or read on to explore the new AI capabilities in SAP LeanIX that we announced at Sapphire.
AI-Powered Enterprise Architecture Assistant
We’re excited to announce our new Enterprise Architecture Assistant within SAP LeanIX. This new AI helper can support you with daily admin tasks to free up your time for innovation and transformation.
The assistant is made up of three different AI agents that act autonomously to fulfill your information requests for specific areas:
1 Enterprise Architecture Web Research Agent
No enterprise architect can know everything about every piece of software. To gain the context you need to make important architecture decisions, most EAs spend hours searching the internet for information about legacy software and niche digital tools used by technical teams.
Our EA Web Research Agent can spare you all that effort by automatically adding web information to your SAP LeanIX data repository, comparing software vendors, and providing vital market insights into your architecture work. All this can be completed from within SAP LeanIX.
2 Enterprise Content Research Agent
Our new Enterprise Content Research Agent makes it quicker and easier to maintain an accurate application inventory by intelligently extracting information from internal documentation. The agent can be given access to your Confluence pages, uploaded PDFs, and Word documents, and use this content to enrich the data in your LeanIX repository.
Rather than having to manually cross-reference documents to complete your application descriptions, technology stacks, or business capability mappings, the agent will automatically identify relevant information from connected sources and suggest updates with full source attribution. Acting as a signed-in user, the agent inherits user permissions and never modifies the workspace without explicit consent.
3 Toolchain Alignment Agent
Our Toolchain Alignment Agent is perfect for organizations leveraging a range of SAP tools. It automatically synchronizes information across SAP LeanIX, SAP Signavio, and SAP Cloud ALM, so you don’t need to manually maintain the information across different solutions.
The agent also offers guidance on your enterprise resource planning (ERP) transformations based on best practices and your unique context. This offers enterprise architects working on ERP transformation complete understanding of ERP processes and performance within SAP LeanIX.

EA capabilities leveled-up with AI
Along with our new EA Assistant capabilities, we’ve added AI features to enhance the existing capabilities of SAP LeanIX, so they can do more, faster, with less manual effort from you. We’re particularly excited about three capabilities that are now AI-assisted:
1 AI-assisted calculations
The AI capabilities of SAP LeanIX can now turn your natural language prompts into JavaScript in order to help you build calculations. Once you’ve generated a business rule, you can then insert the code anywhere in SAP LeanIX to automate your calculations.
2 AI-assisted automations
Simply describe the automation that you want to create in SAP LeanIX and our new AI-assisted automation tool will create a template for your automation. The AI will then support you with intelligent field mapping and condition logic, as well as suggestions for triggers, conditions, and actions.
3 AI-assisted architecture decisions
As a new feature, the AI support in SAP LeanIX will now create a pop-up window at key moments, such as when you’re completing a target architecture diagram, offering to create a draft record of the action for you. This means you can document your architecture decisions, complete with context pulled from elsewhere in LeanIX, with a single click.

Open-source AI integrations
Lastly, we’ve opened a repository of open-source integrations for our Model Context Protocol (MCP) server API gateway for AI agents. These plug-ins complement the MCP server with skills workflows and agent tools to help you automate SAP LeanIX tasks with natural language.
This new repository will provide ready-to-use agents and skills workflows built on top of our MCP servers. This will give you a starting point to build and extend your agent workflows and allow them to interact directly with your application inventory through MCP.
