BMW is expanding its digital customer<br \/>\n  communications by making its vehicle configurator available directly<br \/>\n  via OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT. Using the BMW plugin in ChatGPT, customers can<br \/>\n  now engage in a natural conversation to configure their dream car. The<br \/>\n  plugin combines the dialogue capabilities of generative AI with the<br \/>\n  BMW product and configuration knowledge base, and is available on both<br \/>\n  mobile devices and desktop computers.<\/p>\n<p>\n  Dialogues rather than menu navigation.<br \/>Generative artificial intelligence is changing the way people<br \/>\n  search for information online and make decisions. Dialogue-based<br \/>\n  systems are increasingly replacing traditional navigation via search<br \/>\n  engines or websites. Picking up on this trend, BMW is the first car<br \/>\n  manufacturer to offer digital vehicle advice directly via ChatGPT.<\/p>\n<p>\n  Generative AI meets BMW knowledge base.<br \/>The BMW plugin in ChatGPT is focused on AI dialogues. Instead<br \/>\n  of step\u2011by-step navigation through menus and submenus, users describe<br \/>\n  their requirements in natural language \u2013 for example, in terms of<br \/>\n  spaciousness, ground clearance, powertrain or intended use. They are<br \/>\n  then given suggestions of suitable models and configurations based on<br \/>\n  this information. This also makes it very easy to compare different configurations.<\/p>\n<p>The recommendations can be adjusted, compared and refined at any time<br \/>\n  in the dialogue. Factors like running costs, driving dynamics, colour,<br \/>\n  model or all-wheel drive can be specifically taken into account during<br \/>\n  the consultation. For complex specification requirements in<br \/>\n  particular, dialogue-based interaction opens up new, easy and<br \/>\n  intuitive ways to refine individual vehicle configurations. The<br \/>\n  desired vehicle specification can then be opened in the BMW<br \/>\n  Configurator. Customers can also view stock vehicles that have a<br \/>\n  similar spec.<\/p>\n<p>All recommendations are based on the latest BMW Configurator data.<br \/>\n  Should any questions arise that go beyond its database, ChatGPT can<br \/>\n  also access up-to-date information from the internet, to the extent<br \/>\n  the relevant functions are available and enabled.<\/p>\n<p>\n  Easy access via ChatGPT.<br \/>\n  <br \/>The BMW plugin is integrated directly into ChatGPT. On<br \/>\n  chatgpt.com, it can be accessed by going to the \u201cPlugins\u201d menu item<br \/>\n  and then searching for \u201cBMW\u201d. On mobile devices, access is much the<br \/>\n  same when logged in, via the \u201cPlugins\u201d option in the main menu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Munich.
