PTC Partners with Microsoft and Volkswagen to Launch AI-Driven Codebeamer Copilot
PTC Inc has joined forces with Microsoft and Volkswagen Group to develop the Codebeamer Copilot, a tool that leverages generative artificial intelligence (AI). This innovative solution aims to enhance software development for physical products, including vehicles, by improving the management of product requirements, testing, validation, and release procedures.
The beta version of the Codebeamer Copilot is expected to be rolled out to select clients in early 2025.
Transforming Software Development
PTC’s Codebeamer platform has become a reliable resource for managing software development complexities in physical products. Volkswagen adopted Codebeamer in 2023 to improve software development across its brands, focusing on enhanced productivity and quality. The collaboration with Microsoft aims to harness Azure AI capabilities, which is expected to significantly drive innovation and technological advancement.
According to PTC, generative AI plays a crucial role in addressing complex problems for customers and allows for efficiency in the development of software-defined vehicles. This partnership combines automotive manufacturing expertise with leading AI technology, paving the way for progress in the industry.
