Platform
One governed bridge between AI and your core systems.
Xient Bridge is delivered through Microsoft 365 Copilot and answers from SAP - through a curated, deterministic dispatcher instead of free AI access. It works wherever Copilot works: Teams first, plus Outlook and SharePoint. Voice input and output as well as extended, graph-based analytics are in development.
Live in Microsoft Teams
Real questions. Real SAP answers.

Bridge in action
Purchase to pay, in 50 seconds.
A question about the purchase-to-pay process, answered live: structured, sourced from SAP, ready to act on. No transaction codes, no export, no ticket.

Surfaces
One Bridge. Every surface your people already use.
Because Bridge is delivered through Microsoft 365 Copilot, it isn't confined to chat. The same curated capabilities - and the same permissions, dispatcher and audit trail - follow your people into Teams, Outlook, SharePoint and Excel*.
Microsoft Teams
Chat with your SAP - and with your documents. Drop a PDF or Word file into the conversation: Bridge reads it, answers questions about it and checks it against the live data in SAP.
Shown in the real screenshots and the 60-second demo above - no simulation needed.

Microsoft Outlook
An invoice lands in your inbox as a PDF attachment? The Bridge pane sits right next to the message: ask about the attachment or the email text itself - matched against orders, vendors and open items in SAP, without leaving the mail.

Microsoft SharePoint
Your invoice inbound as a watched folder. Via Power Automate, Bridge screens every arriving document against SAP master and transaction data - plausibility, correctness, duplicates, fraud patterns - and sorts it on the spot: clean invoices move to Released, anything suspicious moves to For review. Hands-free, at scale.

Power AutomateIllustrative - checks run against your SAP master and transaction data; files are moved automatically.
Microsoft Excel*
A document number in a cell is all Bridge needs. Ask what's behind it - vendor, amounts, status - and talk it through without leaving the sheet. In a later phase, Bridge writes the findings back into the cells you choose.

Power Automate
Bridge as an agent inside your flows: trigger lookups and analyses from any automation - approvals, notifications, escalations - in all its facets.
"On every new vendor: run the master data check."Same dispatcher, same permissions, same audit trail - on every surface. ** Excel arrives in a later release.
Architecture
Built for the enterprise it runs in.
Your Microsoft tenant
Bridge is delivered through Microsoft 365 Copilot and runs inside your own Microsoft environment - it respects the permissions you already manage there.
Deterministic dispatcher
Every question is routed to a curated set of released SAP functions. The AI never gets free access to your system - the dispatcher decides, deterministically.
SAP standard services
Bridge connects to SAP ECC and S/4HANA through standard services - no modification of your core, no parallel data copy to maintain.
Auditable end to end
Who asked what, which function answered, on which data - traceable at every step. Read-only; write access only where you explicitly release it.
What Bridge can do
Bridge the gap between people, AI and enterprise systems.
Xient Bridge turns existing SAP services into secure, conversational business capabilities - one intelligent interface across your business processes, from procurement to finance, production and HR. Open a process to see what that means in practice.

*Write actions such as creating or approving documents are planned for later phases - released explicitly, function by function, under your governance. Bridge starts read-only.
If the process exists in SAP and the corresponding service is available, Xient Bridge can make it accessible through natural language and intelligent agents.
Available capabilities depend on the connected systems, activated APIs and services, data quality, user permissions and applicable governance policies.
And to be equally clear about what Bridge is not:
- Not another generic chatbot.
- Not a replacement for SAP.
- Not uncontrolled autonomous AI.
- Not a shadow process layer.
Bridge and SAP Joule
Respect for Joule. A different starting point.
Every major vendor is building its assistant - and SAP Joule and SAP Business AI are genuinely strong moves, deep inside SAP's own suite. If your people live in SAP screens all day, that's exactly where an assistant belongs.
Bridge starts from the other side: natively inside Microsoft Teams and the 365 ecosystem, where most of your organization actually spends its day. No particular SAP release required, no waiting for a migration - and anything beyond the SAP suite needs individual integration work either way. That ground is Bridge's home turf.
Security & governance
Built for your most critical reviewers.
Curated instead of open-ended. Read-only. The human in the decision. And four facts your security team will want in writing:
Not banning it. Enabling it.
