Business data tells a business what’s happening.

But many decisions require a wider perspective.

A change in regulations could affect operations. A shift in market conditions could influence demand. A supplier issue could require understanding factors beyond your own transactions.

Many AI experiences start with a blank prompt. Before AI can help, users need to explain the situation, provide the background and describe what they are trying to understand.

Ask AI in SAP Business One takes a secure approach, powered by the same SAP AI Core Services that supports AI User Defined Query

Using Ask AI, users can bring selected SAP Business One context into their question, combining business information from within SAP Business One with AI-based internet research.

The user controls which field values and context are shared, while AI uses that context to provide a more relevant response. At no point does the AI gain direct access to the company database, and it knows only the specific data shared within the context of the question asked.

The difference is subtle but important. Instead of asking a general question and then explaining why it matters, users can start with the business situation they are already exploring.

That makes AI usage secure and more useful for questions where internal business data is only part of the answer.
