PTC partners with Microsoft and Volkswagen to develop generative AI copilot

PTC (PTC) has partnered with Microsoft (MSFT) and Volkswagen Group (VWAGY) to develop a generative artificial intelligence copilot based on the PTC Codebeamer application lifecycle management solution. Codebeamer Copilot will support software development in physical products by enabling software engineers to create and manage product requirements more efficiently as well as test, validate, and release them. 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. Codebeamer Copilot is expected to release as a beta to select PTC customers in early 2025.
