Ace Prompt: Leveraging Gen-AI with Determinism

Gen-AI has rapidly emerged as a powerful accelerator across industries. Yet in manufacturing, particularly in the configuration of complex products, speed alone is not enough. Configuration requires determinism, traceability, and repeatable outcomes. The question is not whether to use Gen-AI, but how to apply it in a way that strengthens, rather than undermines, reliability.

In this session, Laura Beckwith, Director of Product Management, Configit, will discuss the current state of Gen-AI, where it delivers value and when it fits in a manufacturing context. As an example, Laura will present Ace Prompt; an accelerator that converts “what the business knows” into usable configuration content quickly. Ace Prompt enriches a product configuration model using non-structured sources such as Excel sheets, product brochures and prompt-driven capture, enabling capture of commercial intent that can be reliably aligned with engineering intent for refinement and management in Configit Ace®.

The result is a faster path from scattered inputs to a streamlined, reliable and deterministic configuration process.

Outcomes at a glance:

• Gen-AI needs determinism
• Combine AI, VT™, and human expertise
• Use AI to simplify complexity
