GenIUs4KMU

Smart Home applications as an example of generative AI in software development

Start: 02/2025

End: 09/2025

The GenIUs4KMU project is testing and demonstrating the use of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) in software development with a special focus on Smart Home applications.

Smart Home technologies are now present in many areas of life, from single-family homes to large properties. Here, the efficient creation and maintenance of rules for automating processes is the key to user acceptance.

This project aims to optimize interaction between various stakeholders — from end users to electricians to engineering service providers — and increase efficiency in the development and implementation of Smart Home solutions through the use of AI methods for programming.

Role of the FZI

The FZI focuses in particular on the use of open source AI models in the field of code/rule generation using retrieval-augmented generation.
