System Requirements Document (SRD)

Project Name: venus-project

1. Introduction

The venus-project is a full-stack AI-powered web application designed to automate the creation of faceless social media reels. Inspired by platforms like FacelessReels.com, this project leverages cutting-edge AI technologies to generate short-form video content with minimal user input. The system integrates AI-driven script generation, text-to-speech conversion, stock video fetching, automated video editing, and reel export functionalities into a seamless user experience.

This document outlines the system requirements for the venus-project, ensuring clarity and alignment with the project's goals. The application is tailored for users in India (IN), with locale-specific considerations such as timezone (IST) and currency (INR).

2. System Overview

The venus-project aims to provide a beginner-friendly platform for generating faceless reels automatically. Users can log in, input a topic, and receive a fully edited vertical video ready for social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube Shorts. The system combines AI tools and APIs to automate every step of the reel creation process, including script generation, voice synthesis, video fetching, editing, and export.

Key objectives:

• Simplify the reel creation process for content creators and marketers.
• Deliver high-quality, AI-generated content with minimal effort.
• Provide an intuitive and modern user interface for seamless interaction.

3. Functional Requirements

Core Features:

• As a User, I should be able to sign up and log in to access my dashboard.
• As a User, I should be able to input a topic and generate a short script using AI.
• As a User, I should be able to convert the script into human-like voice using text-to-speech APIs.
• As a User, I should be able to fetch stock videos/images automatically based on the script.
• As a User, I should be able to combine voice, visuals, background music, and subtitles into a single video.
• As a User, I should be able to preview the generated reel before downloading it.
• As a User, I should be able to export the reel in vertical (9:16) format and download it.

Optional Features:

• As a User, I should be able to auto-post the generated reel to Instagram or YouTube Shorts.
• As a User, I should be able to generate multiple reels in bulk.

4. User Personas

1. Admin

• Manages user accounts and system settings.
• Monitors API usage and ensures system stability.
• Oversees content moderation for generated reels.

2. User

• Primary audience: Content creators, marketers, and social media enthusiasts.
• Uses the platform to generate faceless reels for personal or professional use.
• Interacts with the dashboard to input topics, generate reels, and download/export content.

5. Visuals Colors and Theme

Color Palette:

The venus-project will feature a modern and vibrant color scheme to evoke creativity and professionalism.

• Background: #F5F7FA (Soft Cloud White)
• Surface: #FFFFFF (Pure White)
• Text: #2C3E50 (Deep Charcoal Gray)
• Accent: #FF6F61 (Warm Coral Red)
• Muted Tones: #BDC3C7 (Light Silver Gray)

6. Signature Design Concept

Concept: Interactive Reel Factory

The homepage of the venus-project will resemble an animated factory assembly line where reels are "produced" in real-time.

• Visuals: The user will see a conveyor belt with animated components like a script generator, voice synthesizer, video clips, and a final reel export station. Each component will light up and animate as the reel progresses through the stages.
• Interactions: Users can hover over each stage to see a tooltip explaining the process (e.g., "AI Script Generation" or "Video Editing").
• Animations: Smooth transitions and micro-interactions will make the factory feel alive, with gears turning, lights blinking, and reels "rolling off" the assembly line.
• Color Shifts: The accent color (Warm Coral Red) will pulse subtly to guide the user’s attention to key buttons like "Generate Reel" and "Download."
• Preview Player: A dynamic preview player will pop up at the end of the assembly line, allowing users to view their reel before downloading.

This bold and eccentric design will make the venus-project instantly memorable and engaging for users.

7. Non-Functional Requirements

• Performance: The system should generate reels within 30 seconds for standard topics.
• Scalability: Support up to 10,000 concurrent users.
• Availability: Ensure 99.9% uptime.
• Security: Implement secure authentication and data encryption.
• Localization: Default timezone set to IST; currency displayed in INR where applicable.
• Usability: Provide clear instructions and tooltips for every feature.

8. Tech Stack

Frontend:

• React for Web

Backend:

• Python with FastAPI

Database:

• MongoDB

AI Models:

• GPT 5.4 for script generation
• ElevenLabs for text-to-speech conversion
• Google Nano Banana for stock video/image generation

AI Tools:

• Litellm for LLM Routing
• Langchain

Local Orchestration:

• Docker
• docker-compose

Server-Side Orchestration:

• Kubernetes

9. Assumptions and Constraints

Assumptions:

• Users will have basic knowledge of social media platforms.
• APIs for stock videos/images will provide sufficient free resources for reel generation.
• The system will primarily target users in India but remain accessible globally.

Constraints:

• Limited budget for paid APIs; prioritize free tools.
• FFmpeg must be configured to handle video processing efficiently on the server.
• Bulk generation features may require additional server resources.

10. Glossary

• AI: Artificial Intelligence
• TTS: Text-to-Speech
• FFmpeg: A multimedia framework for video/audio processing
• REST API: Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface
• 9:16 Format: Vertical video format commonly used for social media reels
