You will propose the best approach and develop a proof-of-concept AI tool that will:

• Generate high-level requirements from detailed parts and software specifications
• Check the consistency of high-level requirements
• Explain the system specifications in a chat-based interaction
• Automatically generate test cases from requirements
• Automatically populate and manage the requirements management tool
