What Nova Intelligence does

Nova Intelligence is an agentic AI platform purpose-built for SAP, serving Fortune 500 and Global 2000 enterprises that operate complex, heavily customized SAP landscapes. Founded in 2024 and headquartered in San Francisco, with additional offices in New York, Munich, Zurich, and Madrid, the company targets the mandatory SAP ECC to S/4HANA migration wave (SAP's 2030 deadline extension) and the broader technical-debt problem in long-tenured SAP estates. Its named customers include Festo, KION Group, TVS Motor, Haas Automation, and ZEISS, with Chevron engaged through the Chevron Technology Ventures Catalyst Program.

The core product is the Nova Intelligence Platform, organized as a platform-plus-modules architecture. The platform orchestrates three modules: CodeIntelligence (RAG-grounded natural-language Q&A over SAP code, configuration, and data, capturing institutional knowledge), FitToStandard (AI agents that map custom ABAP and business requirements to SAP standard with granular rationale, reducing complexity and TCO), and Build (Clean Core-by-default agentic coding, debugging, and unit testing in ABAP Cloud and SAP BTP CAP). The system combines frontier foundation models (Anthropic Claude via AWS Bedrock and Google Gemini) with proprietary SAP-specific agents and is deployed with enterprise-grade Zero Trust security (TLS 1.3, AES-256, HSM-backed keys, SOC 2, GDPR).

Nova monetizes via quote-based enterprise SaaS subscriptions on multi-year contracts, supplemented by embedded Customer Engineering services, with no public pricing tiers. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales ("Talk to Sales" / Book a Demo), reinforced by channel partnerships with global SIs (notably Kyndryl's "Clean Field" SAP migration offering), strategic endorsement and investment from SAP.iO Fund, and event-driven demand generation at SAP Sapphire and the SAP Enterprise Architect Forum. Total disclosed funding is approximately $40M across a seed round led by Accel (~$8.5M, September 2024) and a Series A led by Chemistry ($31.5M, May 2026), with Conviction and SAP.iO participating in both rounds.

Core offering

Nova Intelligence sells an agentic AI platform purpose-built for SAP teams, sold via enterprise SaaS subscriptions with embedded Customer Engineering services. The platform is delivered through three modules — CodeIntelligence (grounded natural-language Q&A over SAP code, configuration, and data), FitToStandard (AI agents mapping custom ABAP to SAP standard), and Build (agentic coding, debugging, and unit testing for ABAP Cloud and BTP CAP with Clean Core by default) — used across documentation, functional design, development, testing, and ECC-to-S/4HANA migration in complex SAP environments.

Product overview

Nova Intelligence is offered as a platform-plus-modules architecture. The core Nova Intelligence Platform orchestrates three named modules: CodeIntelligence (instant answers and visibility grounded in SAP code, configuration, and data), FitToStandard (standard-first analysis that maps custom code to SAP standard), and Build (Clean Core development, modernization, debugging, and unit testing across ABAP Cloud and BTP CAP). These modules share underlying capabilities spanning documentation, functional design, production issue resolution, fit-to-standard analysis, performance optimization, security vulnerability detection, S/4HANA transformation, and translation of business requirements into working code.

Others

• Automation Anywhere: Enterprise RPA and agentic process automation platform serving Fortune 500 customers with AI-augmented automation. Comparable as an adjacent automation infrastructure provider with overlapping enterprise AI agent ambitions, though Automation Anywhere focuses on cross-application process automation rather than SAP-specific code modernization.
• UiPath: Leading enterprise process automation and RPA platform, increasingly embedding agentic AI and document understanding capabilities. Comparable as an adjacent infrastructure provider for SAP automation, though UiPath focuses on process-level cross-application automation while Nova focuses on SAP-specific code, configuration, and migration analysis.
• Celonis: Process mining and execution management leader with deep enterprise penetration at SAP customers. Comparable as an adjacent enterprise AI/data vendor embedded in SAP ecosystems, addressing operational efficiency and process optimization in a complementary (rather than competing) way to Nova's code and migration automation.

Emerging players

• Cognigy: Enterprise conversational and agentic AI platform deployed across customer service and operations at large enterprises. Comparable as a peer in agentic AI for enterprise workflows, though Cognigy is more focused on customer-facing conversational AI while Nova focuses on SAP-specific technical automation and modernization.
• Aisera: Enterprise AI agent platform delivering autonomous agents for IT, HR, customer service, and ERP-adjacent workflows at large enterprises. Comparable as a peer in the broader enterprise agentic AI category, addressing similar workflow automation and knowledge retrieval challenges, though Aisera is more horizontal while Nova is SAP-specialized.
• Kore.ai: Enterprise conversational and agentic AI platform deployed across customer service, IT, and operations at large enterprises. Comparable as a peer in agentic AI for enterprise workflows; Kore.ai focuses more on conversational front-ends and customer/employee interactions while Nova focuses on SAP-specific code and process automation.
• Moveworks: Enterprise AI agent platform focused on employee support, IT automation, and workflow orchestration at Fortune 500 customers. Comparable as a peer in enterprise agentic AI with a similar autonomous-agent thesis, though Moveworks targets employee-facing IT/HR use cases rather than SAP-specific technical and modernization workflows.

Broad incumbents

• SAP (Joule / SAP Build Code): SAP's own native AI agent platform embedded across S/4HANA, BTP, and the broader SAP ecosystem (including AI Agent Hub). Directly comparable to Nova Intelligence as both pursue agentic AI for SAP users, though SAP bundles capabilities natively with its platform while Nova is an independent specialized layer.
• Microsoft (Copilot for SAP / Dynamics 365 Copilot): Microsoft's enterprise AI assistant with native SAP integrations via Microsoft Fabric / Datasphere, embedded in the broader Microsoft Cloud and Dynamics 365 stack. Directly comparable as a hyperscaler pursuing the same agentic AI for SAP opportunity from the Microsoft ecosystem angle.
• C3.ai: Enterprise AI applications platform serving large industrial and Fortune 500 customers with model-driven applications. Comparable as a peer in enterprise AI for industrial customers (overlapping verticals like Festo, KION, ZEISS), though C3.ai is a broader horizontal platform rather than SAP-specialized.
