The ValiAssistant is an AI-powered tool that is designed to assist engineers in generating requirements, improving them, and breaking them down. The tool is integrated within Valispace, a platform for the design and collaboration of product development projects. ValiAssistant uses natural language processing and AI algorithms to convert rough descriptions of a component’s capabilities into a higher level of specification, which can then be verified through formal requirements. Additionally, ValiAssistant helps in brainstorming which aspects need to be considered and automatically performs a review and improvement of the requirements. The tool also provides engineers with the ability to parametrize their requirement text, ensuring full traceability of changes in the requirement text, thereby preventing any versioning issues. Furthermore, the tool enables engineers to break down single requirements into multiple detailed ones, set out their designs, and derive relevant performance parameters from high-level requirements. These functions enable engineers to develop great products faster. ValiAssistant is used by thousands of engineers worldwide and is suited to engineers from a variety of disciplines who work on product development projects.
