OtterSnap: Requirements

OtterSnap is a core AI feature designed to turn images into actions, drastically reducing manual data entry for co-parents.

Functional Requirements

1. Image Capture: Users must be able to take a photo using their device's camera or upload an existing image from their gallery.
2. Document Processing: The system will use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract text and identify key entities from images of:
   • School flyers and permission slips
   • Report cards
   • Receipts for shared expenses
   • Doctor's appointment cards
   • Handwritten notes
3. Action Generation: Based on the processed image, the AI will suggest and/or automatically create actions, such as:
   • Creating a new shared calendar event (e.g., "Soccer practice, Saturday at 9am").
   • Generating an expense item for reimbursement (e.g., "$25 for field trip").
   • Drafting a congratulatory PupUp® message (e.g., "Great job on the spelling test!").
   • Saving the image to the secure document vault with appropriate tags.
4. User Confirmation: All automatically generated actions must be presented to the user for confirmation before being finalized.

Non-Functional Requirements

• Accuracy: OCR and data extraction must be highly accurate to be reliable.
• Performance: Image processing and action generation should be completed within a few seconds.
• Security: All images and extracted data must be handled securely and stored with encryption.
