scenic-app System Requirements Document

Introduction

The scenic-app is an AI-powered document chat platform designed to facilitate seamless interaction with documents through conversational AI. This document outlines the system requirements for the development and deployment of the scenic-app, ensuring it meets user needs and expectations.

System Overview

The scenic-app aims to provide users with an intuitive platform to interact with documents using AI-driven chat capabilities. The system will leverage advanced AI models to understand and respond to user queries, enhancing productivity and user experience. The platform will be accessible via web and mobile applications, catering to a diverse user base.

Functional Requirements

• As a User, I should be able to upload documents to the platform for AI analysis.
• As a User, I should be able to initiate a chat with the AI to ask questions about the document.
• As a User, I should be able to receive accurate and context-aware responses from the AI.
• As a User, I should be able to view a history of my interactions with the AI.
• As a User, I should be able to download the document with AI annotations.
• As an Admin, I should be able to manage user access and permissions.
• As an Admin, I should be able to monitor system performance and usage analytics.

User Personas

• User: Individuals who interact with documents and seek AI assistance for better understanding and insights.
• Admin: Personnel responsible for managing the platform, overseeing user activities, and ensuring system integrity.

Core User Flows

• User uploads a document -> Initiates chat with AI -> AI processes document -> User asks questions -> AI provides responses -> User downloads annotated document.
• Admin logs into the platform -> Reviews user activities -> Adjusts user permissions -> Monitors system analytics.

Visuals Colors and Theme

• primary: #1A73E8 (a vibrant blue for brand identity)
• primary_light: #E8F0FE (a lighter 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 (an orange for notifications and active indicators)
• bg: #FFFFFF (a clean white for the background)
• surface: rgba(250, 250, 250, 0.8) (a soft grey for panels)
• text: #202124 (a dark grey for primary text)
• text_muted: #5F6368 (a lighter grey for secondary text)
• border: rgba(218, 220, 224, 0.2) (a subtle grey for borders)

Signature Design Concept

The scenic-app will feature an interactive galaxy map as its homepage. Each star in the galaxy represents a document feature or section. Users can click on a star to open a task card, drag to rotate the cluster, and hover to highlight connections between document sections. This concept will be brought to life using @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei for 3D interactions, creating an engaging and memorable user experience.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will utilize a "parallax" interaction model, creating a layered depth effect as users scroll. Decorative elements will move at different speeds, enhancing the storytelling aspect of the platform. Internal pages will adopt a "static" model for clarity and ease of use, focusing on content delivery without unnecessary distractions.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The system must handle concurrent user interactions efficiently.
• The platform should ensure data security and privacy compliance.
• The application should be responsive and accessible across devices and screen sizes.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web, React Native for mobile app
• Backend: Python, FastAPI
• Database: MySQL or MariaDB
• AI Models: GPT 5.4 for user-friendly responses
• AI Tools: Litellm for LLM Routing, Langchain
• Local Orchestration: Docker, docker-compose
• Server-side Orchestration: Kubernetes

Assumptions and Constraints

• The platform will primarily serve users in India, considering local data privacy regulations.
• The system will support English as the primary language for interaction.
• Internet connectivity is assumed for accessing the platform's features.

Glossary

• AI: Artificial Intelligence
• CTA: Call to Action
• LLM: Large Language Model
• RDBMS: Relational Database Management System
