System Requirements Document (SRD)

1. Introduction

This document outlines the system requirements for an AI-powered minimalist to-do application. The application is designed to provide users with a simple, intuitive interface for managing tasks. It leverages AI to sort tasks based on their titles using zero-shot knowledge. The app emphasizes a minimalist design with vivid yet minimal colors to enhance user experience while maintaining simplicity.

2. System Overview

The AI-powered to-do app is a lightweight task management tool that allows users to create, view, and organize tasks efficiently. The application uses AI to automatically sort tasks based on their titles, ensuring a seamless and intuitive user experience. The interface is designed to be minimalist, with a focus on simplicity and usability. Each task is displayed on a single line with a checkbox, and users can add new tasks through a one-liner input field located at the bottom of the task list.

3. Functional Requirements as Story Points

• As a User, I should be able to add a new task using a one-liner input field at the bottom of the task list.
• As a User, I should be able to view all tasks, each displayed on a single line with a checkbox and task title.
• 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 based on their titles using AI with zero-shot knowledge.
• As a User, I should be able to interact with a minimalist and visually appealing interface.

4. User Personas

4.1 Regular User

• Description: A person who wants a simple and efficient way to manage their daily tasks.
• Goals:
  • Quickly add and organize tasks.
  • Keep track of completed and pending tasks.
  • Use an intuitive and visually appealing interface.
• Pain Points:
  • Overly complex task management apps.
  • Lack of automatic task organization.

5. Visuals Colors and Theme

The design will follow a minimalist approach with vivid yet minimal colors to maintain simplicity and elegance. The proposed color scheme includes:

• Background: Soft white or light gray for a clean and neutral look.
• Primary Color: Vivid teal or aqua for actionable elements like buttons and checkboxes.
• Secondary Color: Muted orange or coral for highlights and notifications.
• Text Color: Dark gray or black for high readability.
• Completed Tasks: Light gray text with a strikethrough effect to indicate completion.

The overall theme will focus on clean lines, ample white space, and a clutter-free interface.

6. Non-Functional Requirements

• The application must load tasks and sort them within 1 second of user interaction.
• The interface must be responsive and work seamlessly on both desktop and mobile devices.
• The AI sorting functionality must operate with zero-shot knowledge and provide accurate sorting results.
• The app must maintain a minimalist design with no unnecessary elements or distractions.
• The system must ensure data security and privacy for all user tasks.

7. Tech Stack

Frontend

• React: For building the web interface.

Backend

• Python: For server-side logic.
• FastAPI: For creating a lightweight and efficient API.

Database

• MySQL: For storing tasks and user data.
• Alembic: For managing database migrations.

AI Models

• GPT 5.2: For zero-shot task sorting based on task titles.

AI Tools

• Litellm: For LLM routing and integration.
• Langchain: For managing AI workflows.

Local Orchestration

• Docker: For containerization.
• docker-compose: For managing multi-container applications.

Server-Side Orchestration

• Kubernetes: For deployment and scaling.

8. Assumptions and Constraints

Assumptions

• Users will primarily use the app for personal task management.
• Tasks will be short and concise, typically one line.
• Users will have internet access to enable AI-based sorting functionality.

Constraints

• The app must remain lightweight and performant, even with a large number of tasks.
• The AI sorting functionality relies on external AI models and requires an active internet connection.
• The design must adhere to the minimalist and vivid color theme specified.

9. Glossary

• Zero-shot Knowledge: The ability of an AI model to perform a task without prior specific training on that task.
• Minimalist Design: A design approach that emphasizes simplicity and the removal of unnecessary elements.
• AI Sorting: The process of organizing tasks using artificial intelligence based on their content or titles.
• Task Input Section: A one-liner input field at the bottom of the task list for adding new tasks.
• LLM Routing: The process of directing queries to the most appropriate large language model for processing.
