Joule is for SAP enterprises.
HEINI is for you.

Different job description — not better or worse in general.

Joule is the assistant for employees in SAP applications. HEINI is a team of digital colleagues across operations — Susi outward, specialists inward. Complementary, not sold as a replacement.

The real difference is the architecture: Joule sits on top of the SAP data estate — HEINI holds the connections of the whole business, from product to invoice. Joule = conversational assistant in SAP for your own staff. HEINI = colleague team across operations — Susi talks to customers and prospects, not only to back-office staff.
