System Requirements Document for urban-came

1. Introduction

The project "urban-came" aims to create a platform that enhances the visibility of Unstop's thought leadership in early talent platforms. It leverages authoritative sports announcements to craft messages that align with the style of Unstop's existing communications. The target audience includes content requesters who need to draft messages based on specific articles.

2. System Overview

The system will deliver a platform where users can draft messages based on authoritative articles, specifically focusing on sports announcements.
