    Agent-based Service Planning – Rapid Prototype for AI-powered Shift Planning in SaaS Context
    SOFTWARE PUBLISHING
    February 2026 - May 2026 (3 months)
    Rapid prototyping of an agent-based version of an existing SaaS product for service planning in the gastronomy sector. The goal was to validate whether the core product could be transformed into an AI-driven, agent-based workflow, where shift plans are automatically generated based on historical planning data, weather forecasts, and employee availability – without manual planning in the web application. The prototype was piloted with key accounts of the SaaS company to gather qualitative validation data for a product roadmap decision.
