Abstract
Global competition is forcing companies to cut costs. The design process is time-consuming, as documents often need to be analysed. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) promises to reduce this time. Many companies rely on the use of existing AI solutions. ChatGPT is an application that can support the design process and is easy for non-experts to use. The use of chatbots is suited to data-intensive areas such as factory planning, but the potential in factory planning is still unclear. This paper analyses the use of ChatGPT in factory planning and describes and evaluates different use cases.
