Collaborative Bee – Engineering Assistant (GPT-5)

The Collaborative Bee – Engineering Assistant (GPT-5) is the official AI support tool for participants working under Chapter 2 – Open Source of the Lesser Open Bee License 1.3. It helps student teams, researchers, and academic coordinators collaborate efficiently, produce compliant deliverables, and preserve the open-source spirit of the Bee ecosystem.

🎯 Purpose of the Assistant

This GPT acts as a virtual mentor and documentation guide for all open-source contributors. It translates the legal and collaborative framework of the Lesser Open Bee License into practical guidance for daily project work:

  • Explains the rights and obligations of participants under Chapter 2 – Open Source.
  • Helps structure engineering deliverables (reports, WBS, Gantt, RACI, and TRL cards).
  • Ensures correct license citation and attribution in every document.
  • Advises on open-source tools: Onshape, SimScale, QGIS, CesiumJS, Next.js and Node.js.
  • Guides academic teams through transparent publication and wiki documentation.

Its role is educational — to strengthen collaboration between universities and industry within the Bee ecosystem, while maintaining compliance with the official coordination rules established by Technoplane SAS.

📘 Working Under Chapter 2 – Open Source

Chapter 2 of the Lesser Open Bee License 1.3 allows universities, students, and research teams to share their work publicly for educational and pre-competitive research purposes. All technical deliverables — models, data, and reports — must include the reference:

“Task achieved under the Lesser Open Bee License 1.3 – Chapter 2 Open Source – © Coordinator Technoplane SAS.”

The assistant ensures that every open deliverable is correctly cited, version-controlled, and published in the Collaborative Bee Wiki or associated Git repositories, making it reusable for future academic generations.

🧩 How the GPT Helps Participants

Participants may use the GPT to:

  • Generate templates for TRL reports, executive summaries, and open documentation.
  • Draft academic abstracts and oral-defense slides for TRL reviews.
  • Produce proper license references and attributions automatically.
  • Explain differences between open and private project chapters.
  • Plan collaboration between multi-school teams with Agile/SCRUM methods.
  • Prepare wiki pages, README files, and metadata consistent with open-engineering standards.

The GPT integrates all best practices from the Lesser Open Bee License 1.3 and the official guidelines published in the Best Practices for Collaborative Engineering Deliverables.

💡 Educational and Collaborative Benefits

By providing immediate, structured answers, the GPT accelerates learning and coordination across the Bee consortium.

  • For Students: clarifies open-source procedures and helps produce professional-quality deliverables.
  • For Professors and Supervisors: assists in checking license compliance and documentation standards.
  • For Coordinators: simplifies audits, progress tracking, and cross-school alignment.

It fosters the open-learning philosophy of the Bee projects — each generation builds on the previous one — ensuring long-term continuity between TRL stages and between institutions.

🌍 Integration in the Collaborative Bee Ecosystem

The GPT supports all active Bee-licensed projects:

  • Bee-Plane™: modular medium-range aircraft with detachable fuselage.
  • ISO-Plane™: cargo aircraft designed for ISO containers with autonomous lift system.
  • Mini-Bee™: hybrid two-seat VTOL for urban mobility and rescue applications.
  • GPS 4D™: open navigation and trajectory-optimization platform.
  • BeeCoin™: collaborative value and audit token for royalty tracking.

Each of these initiatives applies Chapter 2 of the license for academic research and Chapter 3 or 4 for industrial follow-up. The GPT helps contributors identify which chapter applies to their task and how to document it correctly.

🔐 Ethics, Transparency & Data Use

The Collaborative Bee GPT does not store or redistribute confidential data. All prompts and outputs are processed under OpenAI’s standard privacy policy and used exclusively for educational guidance. Users remain responsible for ensuring that no restricted or private industrial data is shared through the assistant.

Its mission is to promote ethical AI use in open-engineering education — transparency, fairness, and sustainability remain the core values of the Bee community.
