AI and PeopleTools 8.63

Application Designer AI Assist

Help Developers Work More Efficiently with AI Assistance

Application Designer AI Assist brings AI capabilities into the PeopleSoft development workflow.

Developers can use AI assistance to:

Generate PeopleCode
Explain existing code
Identify potential issues
Support troubleshooting
Create documentation

By providing assistance during development activities, AI Assist can help developers spend less time on repetitive tasks and focus more on solving business requirements.

Natural Language Search

Find PeopleSoft Information Using Everyday Language

Traditional enterprise searches often require users to know exact keywords, navigation paths, or record names.

Natural Language Search allows users to interact with PeopleSoft search capabilities using more conversational queries.

Instead of searching only by specific terms, users can describe what they need in a more natural way.

This can help business users find relevant information more easily while creating a simpler way to interact with PeopleSoft applications.

Semantic Search

Improve Information Discovery Across PeopleSoft

PeopleTools 8.63 enhances search experiences with Semantic Search capabilities.

Semantic Search focuses on understanding the meaning and intent behind a search instead of depending only on exact keyword matches.

For users, this means search results can better match what they are looking for, even when their search terms are different from the information stored in the system.

This creates a more intuitive way to discover information within PeopleSoft.

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Connect PeopleSoft with AI Applications

As organizations evaluate AI solutions, connecting AI applications with enterprise systems becomes an important consideration.

PeopleTools 8.63 introduces Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server Support, providing a standardized approach for AI applications to interact with PeopleSoft data and services while following existing authorization controls.

MCP can support organizations exploring AI assistants, AI agents, and other AI-powered applications that need to work with PeopleSoft information.

Magic Button

Bring Contextual Actions Directly Into Fluid Pages

Magic Button lets administrators add configurable field-level actions to Fluid pages without design-time page customization.

These actions can run business logic, REST API calls, productivity actions, or AI-powered assists directly where users work.
