Master Thesis Project - IT Digital Solutions

The main goal of this internship is to explore the application of large language models to enhance various aspects of the software development of our ContiConnect product, including backend and frontend development, testing, documentation, design, and customer support. Through this internship, we aim to identify the most suitable language models for each purpose, implement them in real-world scenarios, and comprehensively evaluate their impact on the software development process.

Modern software development is a complex and multifaceted process that involves various stages and dimensions. While AI, particularly large language models, has shown promising results in specific areas of software development, there is a need to systematically assess their potential impact across different facets of the software development lifecycle. This internship addresses the challenge of selecting, implementing, and evaluating AI-powered solutions to enhance software development, in particular for our ContiConnect product, in a holistic manner.
