SAP Cloud Application Programming Model - AI Plugins for Java

About this project

This repository contains a collection of AI plugins for CAP Java applications, leveraging SAP AI Core, the SAP-RPT-1 foundation model, and SAP Document AI.

Plugins

Module Description
cds-feature-ai-core Bridges CAP Java to SAP AI Core - resource group management, deployment lifecycle, configuration CRUD, and prediction API
cds-feature-recommendations AI-powered field recommendations for Fiori UIs in draft-enabled entities
cds-feature-sap-document-ai SAP Document AI integration for asynchronous document information extraction via the DIE service

Starter

See cds-starter-ai for the quickest setup.

Prerequisites

  • Java 17+
  • CAP Java 4.9+
  • Node.js 20+ with @sap/cds-dk 9+ (for CDS build tooling)
  • An SAP AI Core service binding (for cds-feature-ai-core and cds-feature-recommendations)
  • A SAP Document Information Extraction service binding (for cds-feature-sap-document-ai)

Without the respective service binding, each plugin falls back to a mock or degraded mode for local development.

Samples

A runnable CAP Java bookshop demonstrating all plugins together lives in samples/bookshop. It provides an AdminService showcasing recommendations on draft-enabled Books, and a SupplierInvoicesService showcasing document extraction from supplier invoices. See the sample's own instructions for how to run it.

Local Development

mvn clean install     # build all modules
mvn test              # run unit tests

For per-plugin details (configuration, programmatic API, multi-tenancy behaviour) see the individual module READMEs. For integration tests against a real AI Core instance see integration-tests/.
