System Requirements Document (SRD)

1. Introduction

This document outlines the requirements for an AI-powered minimalist to-do application. The application will enable users to manage tasks efficiently by leveraging AI to sort tasks based on their content using zero-shot knowledge. The design will focus on simplicity and vivid minimalism, ensuring an intuitive and visually appealing user experience.

2. System Overview

The to-do application is designed to help users organize tasks effectively. It will feature a minimalist interface with essential elements such as task titles, checkboxes, and a one-line task input section. The core functionality will include AI-powered task sorting based on task content, utilizing zero-shot knowledge to categorize tasks intelligently. The application will prioritize ease of use and aesthetic simplicity.

3. Functional Requirements as Story Points

• As a User, I should be able to add a task using a one-line input section.
• As a User, I should be able to view tasks listed one per line with a checkbox next to each task.
• As a User, I should be able to mark tasks as completed by checking the checkbox.
• As a User, I should be able to see tasks automatically sorted by AI based on their content using zero-shot knowledge.
• As a User, I should be able to interact with a minimalist and vivid interface.

4. User Personas

1. User

• Description: The primary user of the application who wants to manage tasks efficiently.
• Goals: Organize tasks, mark tasks as completed, and benefit from AI-powered task sorting.
• Pain Points: Overwhelmed by disorganized tasks, prefers a simple and intuitive interface.

5. Visuals Colors and Theme

The application will adopt a minimalist yet vivid design with the following color scheme:

• Background: White or light gray for a clean and uncluttered look.
• Primary Accent Color: Vivid blue (#007BFF) for interactive elements like buttons and checkboxes.
• Secondary Accent Color: Vivid green (#28A745) for completed tasks.
• Text Color: Dark gray (#333333) for readability.
• Error/Alert Color: Vivid red (#DC3545) for notifications or errors.

The overall theme will emphasize simplicity, with minimal distractions and clear visual hierarchy.

6. Non-Functional Requirements

• The application should load tasks and sort them within 1 second of adding a new task.
• The AI sorting mechanism should operate seamlessly without requiring user intervention.
• The interface should be responsive and work across web and mobile platforms.
• The application should maintain high availability and reliability, with an uptime of 99.9%.
• The design should adhere to accessibility standards, ensuring usability for all users.

7. Tech Stack

Frontend

• React for Web
• React Native for Mobile App

Backend

• Python for backend logic
• FastAPI for API development

Database

• MySQL for relational data storage
• Alembic for database migrations

AI Models

• GPT 5.2 for user-friendly task sorting with zero-shot knowledge

AI Tools

• Langchain for AI task orchestration

Server-Side Orchestration

• Kubernetes for deployment and scaling

8. Assumptions and Constraints

Assumptions

• Users will primarily interact with the application via web or mobile platforms.
• Tasks will be simple text-based entries without additional metadata.
• AI sorting will rely on zero-shot knowledge and will not require prior training on user-specific data.

Constraints

• The application must maintain a minimalist design and avoid feature bloat.
• The AI sorting mechanism must operate within the constraints of zero-shot knowledge.
• The system must support scalability to accommodate a growing number of users and tasks.

9. Glossary

• Zero-shot Knowledge: The ability of an AI model to perform tasks without prior training on specific examples.
• Minimalist Design: A design approach that emphasizes simplicity and focuses on essential elements.
• Task Sorting: The process of organizing tasks based on their content or priority.
• AI-powered: Utilizing artificial intelligence to enhance functionality.
• Checkbox: A UI element that allows users to mark tasks as completed.
• One-line Input Section: A single-line text field for users to add new tasks.

This document reflects the updated requirements for the AI-powered minimalist to-do application based on the user's request.
