Job Stories
This generates job stories in the Jobs-to-be-Done format: "When [situation], I want to [motivation], so I can [outcome]." It's an alternative to traditional user stories that focuses on the context and circumstances that trigger a need rather than user roles. You pass in your product name, feature description, design links, and user context, and it outputs complete stories with 6-8 acceptance criteria each. The acceptance criteria are well structured, covering everything from real-time updates to edge cases and notification thresholds. Useful if your team prefers JTBD over personas or if you're working on products where the situation matters more than who the user is. The example about tracking snack spending shows it can handle everyday scenarios, not just enterprise features.
