Abstract
Lisa Weber, Li Wang and Jonathan Lee, three Master Students in Product and Production Systems Engineering (PPSE) within the integrated Global Engineering School that is jointly offered by three leading technical Universities in Europe, USA and Asia are in their final year of graduation. It is the year of 2030 and they have to finish their project assignment within ten working days. This proloque provides a unique understanding of both, how virtual product creation has evolved in the past and which future assistant bot capabilities will be accessible for students and professionals in the future.

In today’s industrial application scenarios, complex IT-technologies are confronted with the request to follow the KISS principle, which in the western world is referred to as: keep it simple and short/stupid. This requirement expresses the social-organizational desire to keep digital solutions manageable for the majority of users by avoiding difficult and complex case differentiation.
