A tiny FastAPI service that estimates engineering effort (in hours) for a given task/feature.

I’ve always struggled with giving quick, realistic time estimates when someone drops a vague feature request or bug report in my lap. I end up spending 20–30 minutes breaking it down before I can even give a rough number.
I decided to automate that. I built an API that takes in a feature or bug description and returns a time estimate (hours + range). It can use AI for complex cases, or a heuristic system for quick/cheap calls.
Example:
“Implement TOTP MFA for existing Spring Security login” → Est. 16–24 hours with breakdown of complexity factors.
It’s free for light usage, and I’m looking for feedback on:
- How accurate it feels for your real-world tasks
- Extra features you’d like (e.g., Jira integration, more severity analysis)
