AI Agents That Work with SAP HANA
SAP HANA gives finance a powerful in-memory data foundation, fast, real-time, transaction-rich. But speed of data is not the same as automation of work. ChatFin adds AI agents on top of SAP HANA that reconcile, process AP and AR, and run the close, turning HANA's real-time foundation into autonomous finance operations.
- SAP HANA provides a fast, in-memory, real-time data foundation, but the surrounding finance work (reconciliation, AP, AR, close) still consumes the team.
- ChatFin adds AI agents on top of SAP HANA that read and post back, turning its data speed into automated operations.
- Reconciliation reaches 85 to 95% auto-match and 100% of journal entries are screened for anomalies, running against HANA's real-time data.
- AP moves toward $1 to $3 per invoice and AR compresses DSO by 15 to 30 days, with results posted back into SAP.
- SAP remains the system of record; ChatFin is the autonomous layer that makes HANA's real-time data actually do the work.
SAP HANA changed what finance data can do, in-memory speed means the numbers are available in real time rather than after an overnight batch. But having fast data and having automated finance work are two different things.
ChatFin closes that gap. Here is how AI agents work with SAP HANA to turn real-time data into autonomous operations.
From real-time data to automated work
HANA's strength is that finance data is current and queryable in real time; its limit is that current data still has to be reconciled, coded, matched and closed by someone. ChatFin adds agents on top of SAP HANA that consume that real-time data and act on it, pairing analytics agents (ask SAP a question, get a sourced answer) with automation agents (reconcile, match, accrue, post). The result turns HANA's fast foundation into finance work that runs itself.
What the agents automate
The value shows up across the finance operation, powered by HANA's real-time data underneath.
SAP stays the system of record
The design principle mirrors every good overlay: non-disruption. ChatFin reads from SAP HANA and posts results, reconciliations, coded invoices, applied cash, journal entries, back into SAP with a full audit trail. HANA remains the fast, real-time system of record; ChatFin is the autonomous layer on top. There is no parallel ledger and no second source of truth, just SAP's data foundation finally doing the finance work automatically.
SAP HANA made finance data real-time. The next step is making the finance work real-time too, which is what agents on top of HANA do.
Turn SAP HANA's Speed Into Autonomous Finance
ChatFin adds AI agents on top of SAP HANA that reconcile, process AP and AR, and run the close, posting everything back into SAP with an audit trail, so HANA's real-time data foundation becomes autonomous finance operations.
Keep SAP HANA as your real-time system of record. Add ChatFin, and let the finance work on top of it run itself.
