When I challenged you to measure AI ROI, I wasn't interested in cute productivity hacks. I was hoping for material changes. Three leaders emailed me with details of what they have done with AI.

VP of Product Management and Professional Services:

  1. Template Setup: Saved project with a structured requirements template.

  2. Multi-Model Prompting: 4 AI models (Sonnet 3.7, OpenAI 01, DeepSeek R1, Llama R1 Distill 70B) generate requirements based on: 

    1. Product context

    2. Feature/initiative overview

    3. Additional background information

    4. Relevant examples

  3. Output Review: Mix and match preferred sections from each model's output.

  4. Human Touch: Refine language, add or remove items for the final 10% of customization.

Result: AI generates 90% of the requirements in minutes, leaving only 10% for human refinement. This synergy between human oversight and AI-driven generation revolutionizes the requirements definition process.

The Future of Requirements Generation: Ephor's multi-model approach and your expertise combine to produce high-quality requirements faster than ever before. The days of tedious, manual requirements gathering are behind us. Welcome to the AI-driven future of project planning.
