The increasing complexity in product development and the constant demand to push the boundaries of what is technically feasible in ever shorter time frames present developers with major challenges. Particularly critical is the efficient provision of domain-specific knowledge, which is often distributed, difficult to access, or only implicitly available. Engineering chatbots offer a promising solution.

By providing knowledge in a structured manner, they promise to significantly accelerate access to relevant information and thus support development decisions. However, their use in product development requires a high level of reliability and transparency, despite the highly domain-specific terminology.
