Describe a feature, get a properly formatted user story and Gherkin acceptance criteria. Free, no LLM API, no signup.
Generated User Story
Acceptance Criteria (Gherkin)
How this generator works
The generator applies a rule-based template to your inputs. It extracts action verbs from your feature description, maps them to common acceptance criteria patterns (happy path, error state, edge case), and formats the result in the Connextra user story template (As a... I want... So that...) with Gherkin-style acceptance criteria (Given/When/Then). No LLM API, no data sent to any server — everything runs in your browser.
Tips for better output
- Be specific in the feature description. "Add a button" is vague; "Let users cancel a subscription from the billing page" is specific.
- Choose the persona carefully. The persona should be whoever the feature directly benefits, not the broadest possible audience.
- Include the benefit. This is what makes a user story "valuable" in INVEST. If you can't articulate the benefit, question whether the story should exist.
- Iterate. The first generation is a draft. Read it critically and regenerate with refined inputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What format does the generated user story use?
The classic Connextra style: “As a [persona], I want [feature], So that [benefit]”. This is the most widely accepted user story format across agile teams.
What are Gherkin acceptance criteria?
Gherkin is a structured language for describing software behavior using Given/When/Then syntax. Originally for BDD, now used across agile teams to make acceptance criteria testable and unambiguous.
Does this tool use an LLM?
No. Pure client-side rules. No API calls, no costs, no data sent to any server.
Can I export to Jira or Linear?
Yes. The Jira and Linear export buttons produce formatted strings ready to paste into a new ticket.
