needs a system. This sample is listed here because a sample somebody cannot find is worse than one they cannot run: an HTTPS destination to an LLM endpoint (SM59 or BTP), or SAP's ABAP AI SDK. The ABAP is below; installed on a system that has what it needs, it runs there.

" @summary a table of sales figures and one button - the rows go to a language model as context, its summary comes back into a panel
"! <p class="shorttext synchronized">AI / LLM - Summarize a Table with AI</p>
"! Business data in a table, a question above it, and one button that sends
"! the rows to a language model as context. The answer lands in a panel
"! under the table. Same interface as the chat (Z2UI5_IF_SMPS_LLM), same
"! settings (Z2UI5_CL_SMPS_APP_013) - only the prompt is different.
"!
"! Its counterpart without a model is Z2UI5_CL_SMP_APP_541 in
"! abap2UI5/samples: explain-this-data over a table, the selected rows
"! summarised by a local deterministic provider, with a pointer here for
"! the real call - this is that call. Its source:
"! https://github.com/abap2UI5/samples/blob/main/src/z2ui5_cl_smp_app_541.clas.abap
"!
"! The prompt is where a real app has to be careful, and this one shows how:
"!
"! - FEWER ROWS: at most max_rows rows travel, and the prompt says so when
"! the table had more - a model cannot tell a cut-off list from a
"! complete one.
"! - FEWER COLUMNS: only what the question needs. DOC_ID is an internal
"! key the model cannot do anything with, CHANGED_BY is a user name -
"! personal data does not leave the system for a summary of revenue.
"! - DATA STAYS DATA: the rows sit between two data tags, every cell is
"! cleaned of the separator and of line breaks, and the system prompt
"! tells the model that nothing between the tags is an instruction.
"!
"! What it needs: a configured provider. Without one the table shows, the
"! button stays disabled and a MessageStrip says what is missing.
