Engineering simulation software giant Ansys Inc. (NASDAQ: ANSS) has jumped on the artificial intelligence trend with the unveiling of its AnsysGPT virtual assistant modelled after ChatGPT.
Announced on Thursday, the virtual assistant is a general-use tool capable of providing continuous customer support. The company trained its AI offering using proprietary data so it can help provide answers to customers’ engineering related issues in seconds.
The tool employs advanced data engineering techniques to index and organize information across the Ansys portfolio, creating a customized knowledge repository. Since its beta launch, the AnsysGPT knowledge base has expanded thirtyfold, significantly broadening and deepening the portfolio to improve the accuracy and usefulness of responses.
The latest version of AnsysGPT has undergone thorough testing to ensure the accuracy and performance of its responses, as well as compliance with data protection standards. It sources its knowledge from an array of public materials, including product documentation, training resources, frequently asked questions, technical marketing content, and discussions from the Ansys Learning Forum. The infrastructure has also been enhanced to provide better security and the capacity to serve thousands of users.
“The release of AnsysGPT marks the availability of a transformational AI-powered technical support avenue for Ansys customers,” Anthony Dawson, vice president of customer excellence at Ansys, said.
“AnsysGPT is a complementary tool that empowers customers to find answers to intricate questions on their own. This release boasts improved response accuracy, performance, data security, and compliance for users — resulting in accurate, rapid answers to their most important engineering questions.”
