+## What's New in the SAP Architecture Center
+
+Welcome to our Q4-2025 quarterly update for the SAP Architecture Center! This quarter was all about AI—from a brand new Embodied AI Agents architecture to expanded Joule guidance covering everything from S/4HANA integration to building custom AI agents. We also added practical content on event-driven patterns and data integration.
