Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has recently gained significant attention, offering capabilities to assist creative processes, generate content, and enhance decision-making through data analysis. However, how GenAI can be integrated into agile product development processes in software startups remains an open question. <jats:italic>Objective<\/jats:italic>: This study aims to identify potential use cases for GenAI in software startups and explore how GenAI can support innovation, overcome development challenges, and integrate with agile practices to improve product quality and development speed. <jats:italic>Method<\/jats:italic>: We identified a list of GenAI use cases from existing systematic literature reviews and mapped them to engineering process areas in software startups. Following that, we conducted workshops with experts to validate our results. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: The results provide a descriptive overview of GenAI\u2019s potential applications in software startup environments. Given the current state of the art, we identified areas that could benefit faster from integrating GenAI. <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>: The study delineates the prospective impact of GenAI on agile product development in software startups, showcasing areas of immediate applicability.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-031-72781-8_1","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,10]],"date-time":"2025-01-10T18:03:22Z","timestamp":1736532202000},"page":"3-11","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Exploring the\u00a0Potential of\u00a0Generative AI: Use Cases in\u00a0Software Startups"],"prefix":"10.1007","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7873-6363","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mario","family":"Simaremare","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8849-1286","authenticated-orcid":false,"family":"Triando","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9348-2912","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sergio","family":"Rico","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"1_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Banh, L., Strobel, G.: Generative artificial intelligence.
