In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to set up SAP AI Launchpad and connect it to SAP AI Core to get started with orchestration in the Generative AI Hub.

SAP AI Launchpad is a service which you can link to your BTP global account. The launchpad offers an easy-to-use interface to manage AI workflow administration, processes, and tasks.

The Generative AI Hub incorporates generative AI into your AI activities in SAP AI Core. You can access Generative AI Hub via SAP AI Launchpad.

Boosters is available for SAP AI Launchpad. Boosters are a set of guided interactive steps that enable you to select, configure, and consume services on SAP BTP. In this tutorial, we’ll use the SAP AI Launchpad booster to create the subscription for SAP AI Launchpad in your subaccount with the standard plans.

Note: SAP AI Launchpad is optional, but is the recommended interface for use with SAP AI Core.

  • Step 1

    Note: SAP AI Launchpad is optional, but is the recommended interface for use with SAP AI Core.

    Entitlements and quota are managed at the global account and directory levels, distributed to directories and subaccounts, and consumed by the subaccounts. See also Entitlements and Quotas.

    • Entitlements are your right to provision and consume a resource. They refer to what you’re entitled to use (for example, which services and service plans).

    • Quota is the numeric quantity that defines the maximum allowed consumption of that resource. In other words, how much of a service plan you’re entitled to use.

    Open the SAP BTP cockpit, access your global account and go to your subaccount.

    BTP Cockpit

    Check the entitlements for your subaccount by clicking Entitlements.

    Click Configure Entitlements > Add Service Plans.

    Set SAP AI Launchpad as an entitlement

    Choose Boosters from the navigation pane, and then choose the booster for SAP AI Launchpad from the selection.

    Enter the name my-ai-core for the connection . Fill other details from your SAP AI Core service key as marked in the image.

    INFORMATION If you find that a connection already exists in your SAP AI Launchpad then you may add your connection under a different name. You may add any number of connections to SAP AI Core instances in your SAP AI Launchpad (this may not be case if you are using Free Tier).

  • Step 6

    As part of the SAP AI Core onboarding process, an orchestration deployment is automatically created in the default resource group.

    This means you can start using orchestration in the Generative AI Hub right away—no need to create a separate deployment.

    Click on Generative AI Hub > Orchestration
