The influence of AI support on product development results: a live-lab case study of a top-heat grill

This study examines the influence of AI tools on development speed, functionality, costs and team satisfaction in a university design project. Two engineering teams developed solutions for a top-heat grill within three development sprints. The test group used AI tools from the start, the control group from the third sprint onwards. The comparison, based on interviews and the evaluation from the software tools used, shows that the use of AI tools has a positive impact on development speed, functionality and costs. These findings support the understanding of the potential of AI tools in development projects.
