pure-chatbot System Requirements Document

Introduction

The "pure-chatbot" project aims to develop an AI-first E-Commerce Platform that integrates a ChatGPT-like shopping assistant with features such as price comparison, recommendation engine, virtual try-on, and a merchant AI dashboard. This project is designed to be a comprehensive final year project, showcasing advanced AI integration and a deep understanding of e-commerce dynamics.

System Overview

The pure-chatbot platform will serve as an innovative e-commerce solution, leveraging AI to enhance user experience and streamline operations. It will feature a conversational AI chatbot for product discovery, smart natural language search, AI-generated product descriptions, personalized recommendations, order automation, price comparison, virtual try-on capabilities, and an analytics dashboard for merchants. The system architecture will be microservice-based, ensuring scalability and maintainability.

Functional Requirements

  • As a User, I should be able to interact with an AI Shopping Chatbot for product discovery and recommendations.
  • As a User, I should be able to perform Smart Natural Language Product Searches.
  • As an Admin, I should be able to use the AI Product Description Generator to create marketing content.
  • As a User, I should receive Personalized Recommendations based on my browsing and purchase history.
  • As a User, I should experience Order Automation with n8n for seamless order processing.
  • As a User, I should be able to use the AI Price Comparison Engine to compare prices across platforms.
  • As a User, I should be able to use the AI Virtual Try-On feature for trying products virtually.
  • As an Admin, I should have access to a Merchant AI Dashboard for analytics and insights.

User Personas

  • User: General customers using the platform for shopping and product exploration.
  • Admin: Platform administrators managing product listings, descriptions, and analytics.

Visuals Colors and Theme

  • primary: #1A73E8 (a vibrant blue for brand identity)
  • primary_light: #E8F0FE (a soft blue for hover states)
  • secondary: #FF6F61 (a coral hue for emphasis and links)
  • accent: #FFD700 (a bright gold for CTAs and active states)
  • highlight: #FFA500 (a warm orange for notifications and hover states)
  • bg: #FFFFFF (a clean white for the background)
  • surface: rgba(250, 250, 250, 0.8) (a light grey for card backgrounds)
  • text: #202124 (a dark grey for primary text)
  • text_muted: #5F6368 (a muted grey for secondary text)
  • border: rgba(218, 220, 224, 0.2) (a subtle grey for borders)

Signature Design Concept

Imagine a homepage that transforms into an interactive galaxy map where each star represents a feature or section of the platform. Users can click on a star to open a task card, drag to rotate the cluster, and hover to highlight connections. This dynamic interface will be built using @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei for 3D interactions, creating an immersive experience that captivates users from the first moment.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will employ a "parallax" interaction model, creating a layered depth effect as users scroll. Decorative elements will move at varying speeds, while core content remains in the natural flow. This approach will enhance storytelling and provide a visually rich first impression. Internal pages will adopt a "static" model to prioritize clarity and readability.

Non-Functional Requirements

  • API response time should be less than 500ms.
  • AI response time should be less than 5 seconds.
  • The system should support high scalability and fault tolerance.
  • Implement a retry mechanism for failed processes.
  • Ensure comprehensive logging and monitoring.
  • The architecture should be microservice-ready and maintainable.

Tech Stack

  • Frontend: React.js with Tailwind CSS, optional Next.js for server-side rendering.
  • Backend: Node.js with Express for API services.
  • Database: MongoDB for data storage, Vector DB for product embeddings.
  • AI Models: OpenAI GPT / Gemini for language processing.
  • Workflow Automation: n8n for automating processes.
  • Orchestration: Docker and Kubernetes for container management.

Assumptions and Constraints

  • The platform will primarily target users in India, considering local currency (INR) and timezone (IST).
  • The system will be designed to handle peak loads typical of e-commerce platforms.
  • Security measures will include JWT authentication, input validation, and secure file uploads.

Glossary

  • AI: Artificial Intelligence
  • LLM: Large Language Model
  • RAG: Retrieval-Augmented Generation
  • JWT: JSON Web Token
  • n8n: Workflow automation tool
