Business Logic Specification

Overview

AI StyleGallery is a web application that enables users to transform their uploaded images using various AI-generated artistic styles through integration with external AI services.

Core Business Requirements

Primary User Journey

  1. Image Upload: Users can upload personal images to their gallery
  2. Style Selection: Users can browse and select from available AI artistic styles
  3. AI Processing: Selected images are sent to external AI services for style transformation
  4. Result Management: Users can view styled results and choose to keep (make permanent) or discard them
  5. Gallery Management: Users can view their collection of original and styled images

Key Business Rules

  • Image Privacy: Images are private by default, users control visibility
  • Temporary Processing: AI-styled images are initially temporary until user confirms
  • Style Availability: Only enabled styles from active AI models are available to users
  • Provider Flexibility: Support multiple AI service providers (ComfyUI, RunwareAI, etc.)
  • Real-time Progress: Users receive real-time updates during AI processing

Core Business Workflows

1. Image Style Transformation Workflow

Process Flow

User selects image → Opens context menu → Chooses "Change Style" →
Browses style selector → Selects style → Initiates AI processing →
Receives real-time progress updates → Views styled result →
Chooses to keep or discard the styled image

Technical Implementation

  • Frontend captures user selection via Vue.js components
  • Backend validates request and loads appropriate AI plugin
  • Plugin handles communication with external AI service
  • Real-time progress tracked via WebSocket (ComfyUI) or polling (other providers)
  • Styled image saved to storage and database record created
  • User notified of completion and can manage result

Success Criteria

  • Processing completes within reasonable time (typically 30-180 seconds)
  • User receives clear progress feedback during processing
  • Styled image maintains acceptable quality and resolution
  • User can easily keep or discard results

Image Synchronization

  • Automatic sync between filesystem and database
  • Missing files removed from database
  • New files added to database with metadata
  • Maintains data consistency across application restarts

Visibility Rules

  • Public Images: Visible to all users
  • Private Images: Only visible to image owner
  • Temporary Images: Visible to owner during processing/review period
  • Authenticated Users: See all their own images
  • Unauthenticated Users: See only public images and their temporary results

3. Admin Management Workflow

Content Management

  • Styles: Create, edit, enable/disable artistic styles
  • AI Models: Configure available AI models and their parameters
  • API Providers: Set up connections to external AI services
  • Users: Manage user accounts and assign roles
  • Settings: Configure application-wide settings

Quality Assurance

  • Preview images for styles before publishing
  • Test connections to AI services
  • Monitor processing success rates
  • Manage storage and cleanup old temporary files

Business Entities & Relationships

Primary Entities

  • Users: Account holders with roles and preferences
  • Images: Uploaded files with metadata and processing status
  • Styles: AI artistic styles with prompts and parameters
  • AI Models: Specific AI models (e.g., Stable Diffusion variants)
  • API Providers: External AI services (ComfyUI, RunwareAI, etc.)

Key Relationships

  • User → Images: One-to-many (users own multiple images)
  • Image → Style: Many-to-one (multiple images can use same style)
  • Style → AI Model: Many-to-one (multiple styles can use same model)
  • AI Model → API Provider: Many-to-one (multiple models can use same provider)
  • Image → Original Image: Self-referencing (styled images reference originals)

Business Constraints & Validation Rules

Data Validation

  • Image Files: Must be valid image formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP), max 10MB
  • Style Prompts: Required text describing desired artistic transformation
  • API URLs: Must be valid, accessible endpoints
  • User Email: Must be unique and valid format

Business Rules

  • Temporary Image Expiry: Styled images expire if not kept within timeframe
  • Storage Limits: Maximum storage per user or globally
  • API Rate Limits: Respect external service limitations
  • Processing Queue: Handle multiple simultaneous requests appropriately

Success Metrics

User Experience

  • Processing Speed: Average time under 60 seconds for style transformation
  • Success Rate: 95%+ successful transformations
  • User Retention: Users return and process multiple images
  • Feature Adoption: High usage of style transformation features

Technical Performance

  • System Uptime: 99.5%+ availability
  • Response Times: Gallery loads under 2 seconds
  • Error Rates: Under 1% processing failures
  • Storage Efficiency: Automatic cleanup of unused temporary files

Future Enhancement Opportunities

Potential Features

  • Batch Processing: Apply styles to multiple images simultaneously
  • Style Chaining: Apply multiple styles in sequence
  • Custom Styles: User-created style presets
  • Social Features: Share styled images with other users
  • Advanced Filters: Search and filter gallery by style, date, etc.
  • Mobile Optimization: Enhanced mobile experience
  • API Access: Third-party integrations via API

Scalability Considerations

  • Multiple AI Providers: Load balancing across providers
  • CDN Integration: Faster image delivery globally
  • Database Optimization: Handle large numbers of images efficiently
  • Caching Strategy: Reduce redundant AI processing
