Introducing Cybus Connectware GPT: Your AI Assistant for Industrial Configuration

Cybus Connectware GPT is now live in beta. This intelligent AI assistant helps you create and manage Service Commissioning Files (SCF) in industrial environments. Designed to support automation, precision and speed, Cybus Connectware GPT helps you to write, validate and optimize SCF effortlessly, quickly and confidently.

In just 60 seconds, Cybus Connectware GPT generates a ready-to-use SCF from scratch for you – one example is to connect a temperature sensor via Modbus TCP.

Built for system integrators, IT engineers and industrial DevOps teams, Cybus ConnectwareGPT brings the power of AI to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) in IIoT environments – helping you automate complex configurations and reduce time-to-deploy. As the first AI assistant in the Connectware ecosystem, it marks a key step toward more accessible, reliable and software-defined factory integration.

Why it matters: Benefits of Cybus Connectware GPT

Cybus Connectware GPT is more than a time-saver. It’s a sign of what’s next. As part of our evolving Industrial Data Management strategy, which aims to provide the semantic, structured data layer required for AI readiness, it represents our commitment to:

• Empowering teams with better tooling
• Making smart factory projects more repeatable
• Supporting IaC principles across integration layers
• Building trust through explainable, accessible AI for engineering teams
• Accelerating the ramp up and facilitating trouble shooting

If Connectware is the engine, Cybus Connectware GPT is the assistant that keeps it running – making complex work faster and more consistent. It’s one more step toward making industrial data truly AI-ready — clean, structured and production-safe.

What Cybus Connectware GPT can do

Cybus Connectware GPT is an Open AI ChatGPT-based assistant for Connectware SCF development. It helps you integrate faster, learn smarter and reduce manual effort. Typical tasks are completed 60–95% faster – what used to take an hour now takes just a few minutes.

• Generate SCF from scratch — e.g., “I need to connect to a temperature sensor via Modbus TCP”
• Write JSONATA expressions with proper logic
• Explain SCF structure and key properties for validation
• Support Infrastructure as Code workflows, including Jinja templating, CI/CD pipelines and Ansible playbooks
• Enable SCF templating and onboarding for new teams or new factories

It’s also a hands-on learning companion, helping users understand SCF logic and master key concepts like YAML structure and JSONata expressions – with examples and real-time explanations.

It’s fast. It’s context-aware. And it’s made for your productive industrial development, where precision and data quality are key to scaling AI use cases. This is not a generic chatbot – it’s purpose-built for engineering-grade SCF tasks.

Real-world examples from SCF development

Cybus Connectware GPT is already proving useful in common development scenarios. It helps users:

• Correct broken JSONATA expressions such as $.temperature[0] when used against incompatible structures
• Identify YAML indentation errors that break configuration parsing
• Flag missing values in key fields like authorizationLevel or polling intervals in Modbus services

These examples highlight how the assistant reduces friction and accelerates reliable commissioning – especially during onboarding or template creation. By identifying these issues early, Cybus Connectware GPT helps prevent deployment problems that could lead to downtime or stalled operations.

What Cybus Connectware GPT does not do

t’s important to be clear about what Cybus Connectware GPT isn’t, to respect the nature of AI tools and to manage expectations clearly:

• It’s not a general-purpose AI for all Connectware topics
• It’s not connected to live Connectware instances or real-time deployments
• It’s not a replacement for testing or production validation
• Not official implementation guidance or guaranteed code output

Use it as your assistant — not your autopilot. This is a beta feature and while it’s already powerful, it’s not perfect.
Use it wisely – and test and validate everything before you deploy.

Who should use Cybus Connectware GPT – and why

This tool isn’t just about writing faster. It’s about making industrial configuration more accessible, reliable and scalable. It also empowers less experienced users to successfully work with SCF thanks to guided prompts, real-time explanations and ready-made templates. Cybus Connectware GPT is part of a broader initiative at Cybus: helping IT teams move from manual configuration to repeatable, scalable, Infrastructure as Code workflows.

It’s especially valuable for:

• IT admins managing Connectware setups
• System integrators building reusable SCF templates
• New users onboarding faster with hands-on examples, smart error detection and AI guidance throughout the SCF setup
• CI/CD teams standardizing commissioning workflows using IaC principles

It’s your entry point into a smarter Industrial Data Management workflow – where AI helps you build clean, structured configurations that scale.

Important note for OT and operations teams:
Cybus Connectware GPT does not interact with live factory systems or change existing production processes. It exclusively supports the SCF development phase and does not affect deployed infrastructure.

What you can expect in Beta

Cybus Connectware GPT is now in early-access beta — designed to evolve with your feedback. That means:

• It’s based solely on code examples from Cybus and official documentation
• It may make mistakes — especially with complex logic or newer configurations
• It has no access to customer data, unless explicitly entered by the user
• Neither prompts nor responses are seen or stored by Cybus. All interactions follow OpenAI’s privacy policy and can be used for training by Open AI unless you use the ChatGPT Enterprise subscription plan

We encourage feedback, suggestions and hands-on testing. A Google Form will be provided in the Documentation (Link below) and we’ll follow up with select partners for structured interviews.

What’s next

We’ll continue to improve Cybus Connectware GPT based on your feedback and progressively expand its capabilities with additional templates, transformation patterns and support for further industrial protocols.

In parallel, we’re developing a set of complementary tools to enable a seamless, performance-oriented configuration experience across your entire stack. Together, these tools enhance the foundation of a robust and scalable experience for industrial environments.

Let us know what you build with it.
Let us know what breaks – our goal is to fix it fast.

And above all: let us know how we can make it even better.
Your feedback will directly shape the next evolution of AI-powered industrial configuration.

How to get started

Cybus Connectware GPT is now available to all customers and partners using Connectware – You’ll find access through the request to access our beta program below.

Disclaimer – please read carefully

Using ChatGPT’s technology, users can automatically create configuration files for Cybus GmbH’s Connectware. These files must be reviewed by a qualified and appropriately trained professional before being used in a production environment.

Manual adjustments and additions are also regularly required with regard to individual circumstances. Cybus GmbH assumes no liability for direct or indirect damages caused by faulty configuration files.

The use of this service from ChatGPT is independent of Cybus GmbH and is subject to ChatGPT’s terms and conditions. Users are responsible for the proper review and application of the created files. Additional security tests or checks (e.g. in a test instance) should be conducted to ensure the integrity and security of the configuration.
