SAP just announced 7 AI migration and modernization assistants at SAP Sapphire, and they’re designed to do one thing: fundamentally simplify ERP migration at scale.
In this episode of Rise into the Future, host Pratibha sits down with Sören and Sonja – two SAP product leaders building the next evolution of the RISE with SAP transformation journey – to unpack what agent-led transformation actually means, how it works, and when customers can get access.
You’ll see a live demo of the full journey: from project setup through custom code remediation, powered by Joule, the SAP IDE, and a new migration cockpit, all with human-in-the-loop control throughout.
Here’s what we cover:
• Why SAP launched agent-led transformation now – and what it adds to RISE
• All 7 migration & modernization assistants, explained clearly
• Live demo: SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA transformation across three roles
• How agents work alongside existing tools (SAP Signavio, SAP LeanIX, WalkMe)
• Real customer feedback and early outcomes
• Availability roadmap: what’s live now, what’s coming by year-end

Should the Linux kernel’s Git history advertise AI companies? Critics argue the practice is inconsistent and lacks clear purpose. The real issue isn’t the tool, but developers submitting code they don’t understand. #LinuxKernel #OpenSource #AI #Development #Community

Is your self-hosted homelab actually safe from the open internet? In this video I put SafeLine WAF — a free, open-source, self-hosted Web Application Firewall — in front of my ENTIRE homelab (Nextcloud, Jellyfin, OpenWebUI, and WordPress) to find out if it can really stop real-world attacks. No Cloudflare. No third-party cloud. Everything running on my own server, with all my traffic and logs staying on my machine.
This video is sponsored by SafeLine WAF. They gave me the opportunity to try it on my own homelab, so let’s see what it can actually do
I exposed a fresh service to the internet and watched bots start probing it within seconds. So I installed SafeLine as a reverse proxy in front of everything and put it to the test. We break down what a WAF (Web Application Firewall) actually does, how it’s different from a normal firewall, how to install SafeLine in one command with Docker, how to add multiple apps behind a single dashboard, and then the fun part — launching real attacks (XSS, path traversal, HTTP flood) and watching SafeLine block them live. I also give an honest free-vs-paid breakdown and cover what SafeLine does NOT protect you against.
If you’re into self-hosting, homelab security, Docker, reverse proxies, or you just want Cloudflare-style protection without handing your data to a third party — this one’s for you.

As AI hype grows and parenting anxiety rises, elite families are enrolling kids in new K-8 programs. These schools offer AI tutors, ‘guides’ instead of teachers, and business lessons, charging up to $75,000 annually. With no state performance data reporting, their effectiveness remains unknown. #AISchools #AlternativeEducation #EdTech #FutureOfEducation #WealthyFamilies
