• Step 2: Select your preferred AI model
• Step 3: Click "Detect & Refine" to start the analysis
• Step 4: Review and edit the detected Epics and their stories
• Step 5: Export results as JSON or Markdown

• Supported Formats: PDF, DOCX, DOC, TXT, MD
• Maximum Size: 10MB per file
• How to Upload: Drag and drop a file onto the upload zone, or click to browse

Best Practices for Requirements

• Be as detailed as possible - more context leads to better Epic detection
• Include user roles and their needs (e.g., "admins need to...", "customers should be able to...")
• Mention integrations, constraints, and business rules
• Describe the expected outcomes and success criteria
• Group related functionality together in your description

Epic vs Story Guidelines

Epic: A large body of work that represents a significant feature or capability. Epics typically span multiple sprints and contain multiple user stories.

User Story: A small, independent piece of functionality that can be completed within a single sprint. Stories follow the format: "As a [user], I want [feature] so that [benefit]"
