The benefit of this AI request

Craft consistent, high-quality user stories. Use this AI request to explain what the user wants, and not how to build it. The AI assistant pulls from the feature you are working on — referencing linked records like ideas, goals, and initiatives — to propose a concise set of stories. Apply custom instructions to follow the commonly used template for agile user stories: "As a [type of user], I want to [perform some task] so that I can [achieve some goal]." This gives the team a strong starting point for backlog refinement, prioritization, and estimation sessions.
