Talk it through, one question at a time, and leave with a document. ## At a glance - **How it works:** One focused question at a time, in plain language - **You get:** A requirements document, discovery summary or ideas list - **Open questions:** Flagged clearly, never assumed away - **Brain-dumps:** Grouped by theme into a list you can prioritise - **Where:** In chat or in Slack, delivered as a link you can share - **What it never does:** Build anything or write code ## What the Requirements Agent does - **Asks the right questions:** Asks one focused question at a time, acknowledges your answer and only moves on when it has what it needs. - **Shows you what is possible:** Not sure where to start? It walks you through what the Ai1 platform can do for a business like yours, so you can pick what fits. - **Captures detailed requirements:** When you have a specific problem, like automating a process or building something new, it runs a focused interview and writes a structured requirements document. - **Organises a brain-dump:** Drop several unrelated ideas in one go. It captures them and groups them by theme into a list you can prioritise. - **Structures a brief you already wrote:** Hand over an existing brief and it classifies and structures it without making you repeat yourself. - **Delivers a ready-to-use document:** Every session ends with a requirements document, discovery summary or ideas list, with open questions clearly flagged. ## How the Requirements Agent differs from a requirements template A template hands you a long form and leaves you to guess what matters. The Requirements Agent has a conversation instead: one focused question at a time, in plain language, moving on only when it has what it needs. Brain-dumps are grouped by theme, existing briefs are structured without making you repeat yourself, and every open question is flagged so nothing gets built on a guess. ## How it works 1. **Start talking** (Whenever you're ready): Tell it what is on your mind: a problem to solve, a question about what is possible or a pile of ideas. 2. **Focused questions** (During the conversation): It asks one question at a time and builds a clear picture of what you need. 3. **Document produced** (At the end of the session): It writes everything into a structured document, with open questions clearly flagged. 4. **Delivered to you** (Straight after): The document arrives as a link you can share, including in Slack. 5. **Build team takes over** (Once requirements are agreed): Your requirements pass to the people and agents who scope, design and build, with nothing lost in the handover. ## When to use it - **You are new and want to know what is possible:** It walks you through what the platform can do for your business and helps you decide where to start. - **A process eats your team's time:** Say you want to automate lead follow-up after a quote. It interviews you and produces a requirements document your build team can start from. - **You have a head full of ideas:** It captures and organises everything into a clear list, grouped by theme and ready to prioritise. - **You already wrote a brief:** Hand it over and it classifies and structures it, asking only about the gaps. ## What you get - A structured requirements document with open questions flagged - A discovery summary of what fits your business - An organised ideas list grouped by theme - A shareable link to every document ## Example: requirements document Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended. What it was asked: Turn our sticky-note map of how we onboard a new client site into a proper requirements document, so we get from signed contract to first clean faster and stop getting the first week wrong. For a real client this document is built from a recorded process-mapping session, the team's own map and last year's onboarding records, then checked with each team that owns a step before it is signed off. This example uses an invented company, so no real people, systems or records were used and every figure and quote is made up. People appear by role only, and the document is trimmed from the full client format (for example, the full test plan is left out). Run date: 29 September 2026. ### What it found - New client sites take 17 working days to go from signed contract to first clean, passing through 9 handoffs across 5 teams, with status kept in 4 separate places. - Nearly 1 in 4 new sites (13 of 56 last year) had a first-week problem, mostly missing keys or access cards, wrong supplies or no trained cleaner booked. - Nine user stories with testable acceptance criteria cover the fix; six are must-haves, including a go/no-go check two days before start, targeting 10 working days and under 8% first-week problems. ## Guardrails - It never builds anything or writes code. It captures and documents what you need. - Open questions are flagged, never assumed away. - It asks one question at a time, so you are never handed a long form. - Technical scoping, design and build work go to the right team once your requirements are agreed. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is AI requirements gathering? AI requirements gathering means an AI agent interviews you about what you need and writes it up as a structured document. The Requirements Agent in Ai1 by MyZone AI asks one question at a time and flags open questions instead of guessing. It does not build anything. It captures and documents your requirements, and the Designer, Project Manager and your build team take it from there once the requirements are agreed. ### What goes into a business requirements document written by AI? A structured document: a requirements summary, a discovery overview or an ideas list, depending on the session. Open questions are clearly flagged, so your build team knows what is confirmed and what still needs a decision. It arrives as a link you can share. You can start the conversation in Slack, and the Requirements Agent keeps everything in the same thread. ### How does an AI discovery interview work? You start with whatever is on your mind. The Requirements Agent asks one focused question at a time, acknowledges your answer and only moves on when it has what it needs. Most sessions feel like a conversation, not an interview. If you already wrote a brief, it structures it and asks only about the gaps. ### Do I need to prepare anything for the Requirements Agent? No. Start with whatever is on your mind. It asks the questions needed to get the details right. If you are not sure what you want, start with a discovery session. It shows you what is possible and helps you work out where to focus first. ## More on this topic - [Is Your Organization AI-Ready?
