Frequently asked questions
What format are user stories generated in?
Each story follows the standard format: 'As a [user], I want [action] so that [benefit].' Each story also includes Given/When/Then acceptance criteria and a shared definition of done.
How specific should my feature description be?
Specific enough to convey intent but not implementation. 'Allow users to export their dashboard as a PDF' is ideal. 'Build a PDF export feature' is too vague. Include who the user is and why they need it.
What is the difference between a user story and a task?
A user story describes what a user needs and why — it belongs in planning. A task describes what an engineer does — it belongs in sprint tickets. This tool generates stories, not tasks.
Is this user story generator free?
Yes, completely free. No signup, no account, and no credit card required.
