Epic to User Stories
Paste a feature description and get an agile epic sliced into 4-8 vertical user stories, each with an 'As a... I want... so that...' line and Given/When/Then acceptance criteria, plus an out-of-scope list of assumptions worth confirming. Gaps in the description are flagged, not papered over with invented requirements. Pair it with the Markdown to Jira converter to paste stories straight into tickets. Powered by Amazon Nova Micro on AWS Bedrock.

Take the AI diagnosticFrequently Asked Questions
- How are the stories sliced?
- Vertically — each story cuts through UI, logic, and data so it's independently shippable and testable, rather than 'build the backend' / 'build the frontend' horizontal slices.
- What if my feature description has gaps?
- The out-of-scope section lists the assumptions the breakdown had to make — permissions models, edge cases, scale requirements. Confirm those with your team before sprint planning.
- How do I get these into Jira?
- Copy the output into the Markdown to Jira converter to get wiki markup (or ADF JSON for the Jira Cloud API), then paste each story into a ticket. The Gherkin blocks survive as code blocks.
- How is this different from the User Story Generator?
- The User Story Generator turns one requirement into one story. This tool decomposes a whole feature into an epic with multiple sliced stories — use it when you're planning a body of work, not a single ticket.
