Requirements: Konstruct
Defined: 2026-03-23 Core Value: An AI employee that works in the channels your team already uses — no new tools to learn, no dashboards to check, just a capable coworker in Slack or WhatsApp.
v1 Requirements
Requirements for beta-ready release. Each maps to roadmap phases.
Channel Infrastructure
- CHAN-01: Channel Gateway normalizes messages from all channels into unified KonstructMessage format
- CHAN-02: User can interact with AI employee via Slack (Events API — @mentions, DMs, thread replies)
- CHAN-03: User can interact with AI employee via WhatsApp Business Cloud API
- CHAN-04: WhatsApp adapter enforces business-function scoping per Meta 2026 policy
- CHAN-05: Platform rate-limits requests per tenant and per channel with configurable thresholds
Agent Core
- AGNT-01: Tenant can configure a single AI employee with custom name, role, and persona
- AGNT-02: Agent maintains conversational memory within sessions (sliding window)
- AGNT-03: Agent retrieves relevant past context via vector search (pgvector long-term memory)
- AGNT-04: Agent can invoke registered tools to perform actions (tool registry + execution)
- AGNT-05: Agent escalates to human when configured rules trigger, transferring full conversation context
- AGNT-06: Every agent action (LLM call, tool invocation, handoff) is logged in an audit trail
- AGNT-07: Agent token usage is tracked per-agent per-tenant with configurable budget limits
LLM Backend
- LLM-01: LiteLLM router abstracts LLM provider selection with fallback routing
- LLM-02: Platform supports Ollama (local) and commercial APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI) as LLM providers
- LLM-03: Tenant can provide their own API keys for supported LLM providers (BYO keys, encrypted at rest)
Multi-Tenancy & Security
- TNNT-01: All tenant data is isolated via PostgreSQL Row Level Security
- TNNT-02: Inbound messages are resolved to the correct tenant via channel metadata
- TNNT-03: Per-tenant Redis namespace isolation for cache and session state
- TNNT-04: All data encrypted at rest (PostgreSQL, object storage) and in transit (TLS 1.3)
Admin Portal
- PRTA-01: Operator can create, view, update, and delete tenants
- PRTA-02: Operator can design agents via a dedicated Agent Designer module — defining job description, statement of work, persona, system prompt, tool assignments, and escalation rules
- PRTA-03: Operator can connect messaging channels (Slack, WhatsApp) via guided wizard
- PRTA-04: New tenants are guided through structured onboarding (connect channel, configure agent, test message)
- PRTA-05: Operator can manage subscription plans and billing via Stripe integration
- PRTA-06: Portal displays agent cost tracking and usage metrics per tenant
RBAC & User Management
- RBAC-01: Platform admin role with full access to all tenants, agents, users, and platform settings
- RBAC-02: Customer admin role scoped to a single tenant with full control over agents, channels, billing, API keys, and user management
- RBAC-03: Customer operator role scoped to a single tenant with read-only access to agents, conversations, and usage dashboards
- RBAC-04: Customer admin can invite users (admin or operator) by email — invitee receives activation link to set password and enable access
- RBAC-05: Portal navigation, pages, and UI elements adapt based on user role (platform admin sees tenant picker, customer admin sees their tenant, operator sees read-only views)
- RBAC-06: API endpoints enforce role-based authorization — unauthorized actions return 403 Forbidden, not just hidden UI
Employee Design
- EMPL-01: Multi-step wizard guides user through AI employee creation (role definition, persona, tools, channels, escalation rules) without requiring knowledge of system prompt format
- EMPL-02: Pre-built agent templates (e.g., Customer Support Rep, Sales Assistant, Office Manager) available for one-click deployment with sensible defaults
- EMPL-03: Template-deployed agents are immediately functional — respond in connected channels with the template's persona, tools, and escalation rules
- EMPL-04: Wizard and templates accessible to platform admins and customer admins (RBAC-enforced, not operators)
- EMPL-05: Agents created via wizard or template appear in Agent Designer for further customization
Web Chat
- CHAT-01: Users can open a chat window with any AI Employee and have a real-time conversation within the portal
- CHAT-02: Web chat supports the full agent pipeline — memory, tools, escalation, and media (same capabilities as Slack/WhatsApp)
- CHAT-03: Conversation history persists and is visible when the user returns to the chat
- CHAT-04: Chat respects RBAC — users can only chat with agents belonging to tenants they have access to
- CHAT-05: Chat interface feels responsive — typing indicators, message streaming or fast response display
Multilanguage
- I18N-01: Portal UI fully localized in English, Spanish, and Portuguese (all pages, labels, buttons, error messages)
- I18N-02: Language switcher accessible from anywhere in the portal — selection persists across sessions
- I18N-03: AI Employees detect user language and respond accordingly, or use a language configured per agent
- I18N-04: Agent templates, wizard steps, and onboarding flow are fully translated in all three languages
- I18N-05: Error messages, validation text, and system notifications are localized
- I18N-06: Adding a new language requires only translation files, not code changes (extensible i18n architecture)
Mobile + PWA
- MOB-01: All portal pages render correctly and are usable on mobile (320px–480px) and tablet (768px–1024px) screens
- MOB-02: Sidebar collapses to a bottom tab bar on mobile with smooth navigation and More sheet for secondary items
- MOB-03: Chat interface is fully functional on mobile — send messages, see streaming responses, scroll history
- MOB-04: Portal installable as a PWA with app icon, splash screen, and service worker for offline shell caching
- MOB-05: Push notifications for new messages when PWA is installed (or service worker caches app shell for instant load)
- MOB-06: All touch interactions feel native — no hover-dependent UI that breaks on touch devices
Testing & QA
- QA-01: Playwright E2E tests cover all critical user flows (login, tenant CRUD, agent deploy, chat, billing, RBAC)
- QA-02: Lighthouse scores >= 90 for performance, accessibility, best practices, and SEO on key pages
- QA-03: Visual regression snapshots at desktop (1280px), tablet (768px), and mobile (375px) for all key pages
- QA-04: axe-core accessibility audit passes with zero critical violations across all pages
- QA-05: E2E tests pass on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari (WebKit) via Playwright
- QA-06: Empty states, error states, and loading states tested and rendered correctly
- QA-07: CI-ready test suite runnable in GitHub Actions / Gitea Actions pipeline
v2 Requirements
Deferred to future release. Tracked but not in current roadmap.
Channel Expansion
- CHAN-06: User can interact with AI employee via Microsoft Teams
- CHAN-07: User can interact with AI employee via Mattermost
- CHAN-08: User can interact with AI employee via Telegram
Agent Advanced
- AGNT-08: Same agent maintains unified memory across Slack and WhatsApp (cross-channel identity)
- AGNT-09: Agent detects negative sentiment and proactively escalates before user requests it
- AGNT-10: Pre-built tool integrations for common SMB tools (Zendesk, HubSpot, Google Calendar)
Multi-Agent Teams
- TEAM-01: Coordinator agent routes inbound messages to specialist agents
- TEAM-02: Specialist agents execute domain-specific tasks and return results to coordinator
- TEAM-03: All inter-agent communication logged for audit
Enterprise
- ENTR-01: Schema-per-tenant isolation for Team tier
- ENTR-02: Self-hosted deployment via Helm chart and Docker Compose
- ENTR-03: Agent marketplace with pre-built role templates
Out of Scope
| Feature | Reason |
|---|---|
| Voice/telephony channels (Twilio) | Completely different tech stack and regulatory environment; validate messaging first |
| Open-ended general-purpose WhatsApp bot | Banned by Meta (Jan 2026 policy); agents must serve specific business functions |
| Real-time token streaming in chat | Slack/WhatsApp don't support partial message streaming; zero user benefit |
| Full no-code visual agent builder (drag-and-drop) | Agent Designer covers structured text-based configuration; visual flow builders are premature |
| Cross-tenant agent communication | Security/isolation violation; no compliance framework supports it |
| Dashboard-first UX for end users | Defeats core value proposition; agent interactions stay in messaging channels |
| White-labeling for agencies | Secondary market; validate direct SMB first |
| AI company hierarchy (teams of teams) | Requires proven multi-agent foundation; v3+ |
| SOC 2 / HIPAA compliance | Post-revenue; self-hosted option covers compliance-sensitive customers |
