The development of Codebeamer Copilot builds on Volkswagen Group's adoption of Codebeamer to support software development across its brands and vehicle projects. PTC and Volkswagen Group partnered with Microsoft to help amplify the value of Codebeamer by embedding generative AI with Microsoft Azure AI capabilities.
"By having Microsoft Azure AI in the Codebeamer software, it can assist us with creating new specifications and test cases," said Robert Kattner, Head of IT Engineering at Volkswagen Group , in a video describing the collaboration. "It can also improve the quality of our requirements by removing duplicates and checking against existing quality standards. And furthermore, it can help our teams to import requirements references from older IT systems. It will drive our productivity gains by reducing the time to import, review, and write requirements. In a nutshell, our engineers will do their work more efficiently."
"We apply generative AI to help customers solve problems and capitalize on market opportunities, like the efficient development of software-defined vehicles," said Kevin Wrenn, Chief Product Officer, PTC. "Our collaboration with Volkswagen Group and Microsoft on Codebeamer Copilot gives us the best of both worlds: an industry-leading manufacturer in Volkswagen Group that demonstrates how these solutions apply in a real-world context, and a partner in Microsoft that is pushing the envelope on generative AI and bringing state-of-the-art technology to the market."
"The manufacturing sector holds tremendous opportunities for generative AI use cases, and we're thrilled to support this collaboration with PTC and Volkswagen Group, both leaders in the industry," said Dayan Rodriguez, corporate vice president, Manufacturing & Mobility, Microsoft. "Codebeamer Copilot is a meaningful example of how generative AI can make a longstanding, complex process like product development simpler and more efficient."
Codebeamer Copilot is expected to release as a beta to select PTC customers in early 2025.
