The increasing importance of agentic AI systems places new demands on the design of intelligent services. At the 20th International Conference on Design Science Research in Information Systems and Technology (DESRIST), which took place in Jamaica this year, Philipp Reinhard presented the paper “GenAI-CoP: A Reusable Co-Creation Process to Identify Generative AI Agents”.
The paper presents a reusable co-creation process to identify potential AI agents in different application contexts. Based on the Action Design Research (ADR) approach, a structured process was developed and evaluated that is oriented towards five central design requirements.
It comprises several collaborative activities and integrates an agent blueprint structure with which the identified agents can be systematically documented.
The aim of the approach is to actively involve specialist users in the development process and thus support the identification of relevant potential applications for generative AI in a practical manner.
Outlook:
The results form the basis for future research into the coordination and interaction of multiple AI agents in complex application scenarios. The article thus takes a first step towards multi-agent systems based on generative AI – an increasingly relevant topic for the next generation of digital services.
This contribution was developed within the framework of the GenKITS project, which is funded and supported by the Hessian Ministry for Digitalization and Innovation as well as the Wirtschafts- und Infrastrukturbank Hessen (WIBank).
