I leveraged my experience with writing product requirements, identifying my own needs and those of a reasonable user, along with concerns about security.

Requirements Summary:

• HIQup should save family profiles based on information within the chatbot discussions locally, with the option to create an account and save a cloud-based instance.

• HIQup should identify and tag family (or travel party) members based on conversation insights to help clarify packing needs. For example, a trip for a family beach vacation will have different requirements from an out-of-town dance competition. HIQup will remember who is the dancer, soccer player, etc., and remember that activity’s packing list for relevant trips.

• The app should create pet profiles and ensure that reminders are generated for pet care, whether those pets need their own packing lists, or new vaccine records for boarding.

• Some families care for others who may not be traveling, such as an elderly parent or neighbor, and any preparations for care should be included in preparation lists even if the person is not traveling.

• There is a default profile for “home,” to help manage security setting reminders, plant watering schedules, or mail hold scheduling.

• For families with children, there is a special “stuffie reminder” so that security items are not left behind for adventures away from home.
