Application Designer AI Assist
Give the LLM in your IDE a direct, read-only line to PeopleTools metadata through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: records, PeopleCode, SQL, pages, and components from your database, customizations included.
AI for PeopleSoft
Bring large language models to PeopleSoft — an AI assist for developers, a chat assistant for everyone who uses it, and search that understands plain language.
Three ways to bring AI to PeopleSoft
Section titled “Three ways to bring AI to PeopleSoft”PeopleSoft Assistant
A chat UI inside PeopleSoft Fluid that answers questions with live data, takes users straight to the right page, and adds Magic Buttons to the fields you choose, always under the user’s own security.
Natural Language Search
Search PeopleSoft by describing what you want. The NL Search Service turns plain language into a validated query plan, which PeopleSoft runs with its own search security. PeopleSoft’s semantic search matches meaning, not just keywords.
Secure by design
The AI gets only the access it needs. The MCP server reads through a locked-down, read-only database account. The Assistant and NL Search act as the signed-in user, within their own PeopleSoft roles, permission lists, and row-level security.
