Trusted by the world’s leading businesses
Here is how requirements document creation is evolving with AI
The old way
- I’m manually creating documents by collecting details from multiple work items.
- I’m spending multiple hours every day fixing the document structure.
- I’m extracting details from reference resources and adding them manually to the document. With this, it takes days to write a document.
- I’m struggling to make every document match our compliance layout.
- I’m switching between tools and losing track of where updates came from.
The New Way with SOP/Document Generator
- The AI reads Azure DevOps work items directly and builds a complete document with the right context.
- AI auto-formats the document structure. It adds hierarchical headings, tables, bullet points, and AI-generated diagrams within documents.
- The SOP/Document generator allows me to upload reference files and uses them as a context to generate a document.
- AI automatically generates documents that align with regulatory standards.
- Everything happens inside Azure DevOps, so all data stays linked and traceable.
A closer look at the SOP/Document Generator
The SOP/Document Generator in Copilot4DevOps helps teams create clear, structured documents using AI, all within Azure DevOps. It builds complete SOPs, functional and non-functional requirement documents, compliance reports, and process write-ups using real work item data.
Teams working in different industries use it whenever they need formal documentation for audits, reviews, or project handovers. It saves time by turning raw backlog information into professional documents that follow standard formats and can be exported for review or submission.

Key features that make documentation effortless within Azure DevOps
File Upload
Would you like to provide existing documents, compliance guidelines, meeting or feature notes, design documents, images, etc., as context to the AI while generating the document?
Use the “File Upload” feature, which allows you to upload 20+ types of files, including PDF, Docx, JPG, PNG, SVG, etc. It extracts text from the uploaded resources and generates the document content accordingly.
Rewrite Prompt
Don’t know how to write a perfect prompt that can generate a perfect document according to your needs?
Use the “Rewrite Prompt” feature to enhance your draft prompt using an AI. It helps in refining the scope and tweaking the original request so that you can get a final document that fulfills your expectations.
Regenerate
Do you need to update the document, or would you like to get a new version? Use the “Regenerate” feature to adjust style, structure, tone, etc., without starting from scratch.
Generate with Q&A
Want to provide additional context to the AI?
Use the “Generate Q&A” feature. Before creating a document, it asks multiple-choice questions according to your prompt, then you can answer the questions, and the generator uses your answers as a context to write better content.
Save As
Would you like to send a document to external teams for a review?
Use the “Save As” feature to export the generated document in Microsoft Word or PDF format.
How teams use SOP/Document Generator in the real world
Business analysts in healthcare: writing functional requirements for patient systems
In healthcare, a business analyst needs to prepare functional specs and non-functional requirements documents while developing a patient management system. Manually creating these documents takes days and introduces the risk of errors.
For that, business analysts can use the SOP/Document Generator AI within Azure DevOps to automatically generate documents. They need to provide meeting notes or raw requirements as a context, and AI prepares a well-structured functional requirements document within seconds that can be exported as a PDF or Microsoft Word. The document might include structured functional requirements, user stories with acceptance criteria, related product UI, etc.
Developers in finance: creating technical SOPs for API integrations
Security is very important for fintech applications. So, developers managing fintech applications always need to write internal SOPs for integrating third-party applications via API or deployment and rollback processes. For that, they need to copy-paste security-related requirements into the document, restructure it, and manually ensure that all follows compliance.
The above process looks very complex. As a solution, developers can use the AI SOP/Document Generator of Copilot4DevOps, feed security-related Azure work items as a reference, and hit enter to generate the document. Within seconds, it generates a document that includes structured steps for deployment and rollbacks, security rules to follow, conditions indicating when to initiate rollbacks, etc. This saves lots of time for developers, and they can focus on other important coding work.
System Architects in aerospace: maintaining design and review documents
In highly regulated industries like aerospace, teams are required to maintain documents for every component of an aircraft or every process. For example, they need to prepare design documents and submit them for certifications. If the design document fails to meet any single compliance requirement, the organization may need to pay a fine and may also experience a delay in product approval.
However, when teams use SOP/Document Generator, they just need to insert compliance requirements in the prompt, reference existing system-level Azure work items, and press generate. The AI generates a document within seconds, which might contain flow diagrams of aircraft design, change references, and all. Later, teams can review the AI-generated draft, add a manual touch, and submit it to the regulatory bodies.
Why teams prefer the SOP/Document Generator of Copilot4DevOps
- Native to Azure DevOps: The SOP/Document Generator, a feature of Copilot4DevOps, works within your Azure workspaces. So, you don’t need to switch between multiple tools.
- Generate documents for work items: AI reads existing Azure work items automatically and uses them as a reference to generate documents. So, you don’t need to provide context to the AI.
- Keeps compliance intact automatically: You can provide custom instructions regarding the document template, compliance, etc., and each document follows those requirements.
- Adds visuals and structure automatically: You don’t need to structure the document manually. AI automatically adds the table, headings, diagrams, and interactive UI in the document.
- Saves hours on formatting and editing: As AI prepares the first draft of the document within seconds, you don’t need to spend hours or days. Later, you can manually review the document in no time and use it.
Everything you might want to ask before using it
1. Can I use the SOP/Document Generator directly inside Azure DevOps without switching tools?
2. Does the AI respect our company’s document template and compliance layout?
3. How does the AI use work item data to create the document?
4. Can I include diagrams or visuals in the generated SOPs or document?
5. In what file formats can I save or export the finished document?
6. Is my project data secure when using the SOP/Document Generator?
7. What level of AI model is used for the generator? Can we bring our own?
8. Is the SOP/Document Generator included in every Copilot4DevOps plan?
9. Can I upload reference files (like design specs or old SOPs) so the tool uses them as context?
10. How much manual review will the generated document still require?
