Based on the provided information about the epic, let's fill out the epic template section by section:

Description

This Epic focuses on developing a proof of concept (PoC) for 'virtual contributors' on our platform. A virtual contributor is envisioned as an autonomous agent, capable of being invited to a space to contribute as a regular member, equipped with specific roles, skills, and expertise. This PoC aims to assess the technical feasibility, required effort, necessary changes to the core server architecture and infrastructure, running costs, and the risks and benefits associated with introducing generative AI-powered virtual contributors.

Initiative / goal

The initiative aligns with our broader goal of enhancing the platform's capabilities and user experience by leveraging cutting-edge AI technology. Introducing virtual contributors could significantly streamline workflows, foster collaboration, and bring in diverse, AI-driven insights and expertise.

Hypothesis

We hypothesize that integrating virtual contributors will enhance our platform's efficiency and user engagement. Success will be measured by the technical feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and potential risks and benefits identified in the PoC. Leading indicators for success include positive feedback from user tests, seamless integration with existing infrastructure, and a clear understanding of the required resources and costs.

Acceptance criteria and must have scope

The PoC must demonstrate the technical feasibility of creating a virtual contributor using current state generative AI. It should detail the effort involved, necessary changes to the infrastructure, running costs, and provide a comprehensive analysis of risks and benefits. The acceptance criteria are met if the PoC enables Alkemio management to make an informed decision on implementing virtual contributors, including time, costs, and resources estimation.

Stakeholders

Stakeholders include the Product and Engineering teams, who will be directly involved in the PoC development and integration. Additionally, the Customer Success team should be kept informed, as they may need to update customers about this new feature. Other relevant stakeholders may include the Marketing team for promotional strategies and the Sales team for understanding customer needs and feedback.

Timeline

The estimated timeline for completing this PoC is one man-month. Key resources include AI and software development expertise, access to current state generative AI technologies, and server infrastructure. Potential blockers could be unforeseen technical challenges in AI integration, delays in development, or necessary adjustments in server architecture.

Design

[The design section would typically include visual and technical design aspects of the project. However, without specific details on the design requirements or the visual aspects of the virtual contributors, this section cannot be completed accurately. Further information is needed for a comprehensive design outline.]

This template provides a structured approach to the PoC development, ensuring all key aspects are considered for a successful outcome.
