Your first task
You're signed in and you've picked a project — now connect to SAP and send your first message. This page takes you from an empty Systems tab to a live conversation with the agent. To stay safe on your first run, we use a read-only role that physically cannot change anything.
If you are the very first person to sign in, you become the administrator and start with no project yet. Set up a project and connect an AI engine first — see Admin overview and Configuring projects — then come back here.
1. Connect to a SAP system#
Open the Systems tab and add the SAP system for this project. The full detail lives in Systems; here is the short version.
Click + Add system.
Fill in Name, URL, User, Client and Password.
Pick a Tier:
Tier Access DEV Read + write (development system) QAS Read-only PROD Read-only Optionally enable Skip TLS verification (for self-signed certificates) and Auto-connect.
Click Save, then Connect.
A status dot shows the live tunnel. A system tagged Active is the one Chat talks to.
QAS and PROD are read-only tiers — the agent can investigate them but cannot change anything there. Only DEV allows writes.
2. Open Chat and pick a role#
Switch to the Chat tab. In the composer, pick a Role — the role decides what the agent is allowed to do.
The picker defaults to Development, which is a write role, so switch it to Research for a safe first run. Research is read-only: it can look at your system and answer questions, but it physically cannot change, create, or delete anything. It's the safest way to see how the agent works. See How roles work.
3. Send your first message#
- Type a request in plain language — for example, ask the agent to explain what a program does or to find where something is used.
- Press Enter to send. Use Shift+Enter for a newline.
- Attach files if you need to — the paperclip, drag-and-drop, or paste all work.
The agent streams its progress live as it works. A status line tells you whether the SAP connector is attached and whether the current role is read-only or read + write, so you always know what the agent can do.
Conversations#
- Your conversation is saved per project, so you can come back to it.
