System Requirements Document for ai-business-hub

1. Introduction

ai-business-hub is an AI Business Hub: a single consolidated place where business operations and AI-assisted business work happen together. The product exists so that people running business operations do not have to juggle separate tools, separate logins, and separate contexts for the day-to-day work of a business.

The audience is stated by the source and is intentionally broad within that frame:

• Small business owners running things solo, who need one place to run core business work end to end.
• Teams inside a company, where individuals work alongside others and use the same consolidated environment for recurring business operations.

Success for both is the same shape: the work a business does every day — assisted by AI, and recorded as durable business records — is handled from one hub rather than scattered across several.

2. System Overview

The AI Business Hub is delivered as a first-party, application-owned web product with its own custom user interface and its own identity. It has two distinct access states:

• Anonymous state — a visitor who has not established identity can reach Landing, Sign Up, and Login. These surfaces explain the product, let a person begin using it themselves, and let a returning person verify who they are.
• Protected state — Dashboard, AI Assistant, Business Records, and Record Details all require an established, verified identity before any business state is shown or changed.

The core accepted behavior is:

• One hub that consolidates business operations and AI-assisted business work.
• A central Dashboard that presents the consolidated picture and routes the user into the individual work areas.
• An AI Assistant where AI-assisted business work is carried out in a focused, revisitable conversation.
• Business Records that hold durable business information, with Record Details as the focused place to create a record or work on one record's full details.

Actors:

• Human personas (closed set): Small Business Owner, Team Member.
• Non-persona actors: the AI assistant service that produces responses for the AI Assistant page, and the application's identity and persistence services
