Ask Monty is an AI assistant accessible from the AI Tools sidebar menu. You can ask questions about your sprint analytics, or instruct Monty to take action directly in the application — creating stories, sprints, and defects through a guided conversational interface.
Each Ask Monty message consumes approximately 310 tokens.
Select a story type, optionally enable Test Cases and/or Pseudo Code, then click Proceed. Monty generates and creates the story in the backlog.
If context is insufficient, Monty responds: "Please check the Storyline. Providing a bit more context or details about the specific storyline would help."
Monty prompts for Sprint Name (required, max 35 characters), Start Date, and End Date. Dates are validated before creating.
Sprint Name is required — Monty will ask again if it is missing or too long.
Select the story the defect relates to, then review the summary Monty prepares. Confirm to create the defect.
Monty summarises the defect before acting: "I will create a defect as per your request. Kindly confirm."
Beyond creating items, you can ask Monty questions about your project's sprint analytics — velocity trends, story completion rates, team workload, and similar metrics. Monty draws on the data available in your current project context.
Monty says it needs more context to create a story
The story description or storyline you provided was too short or vague. Add more detail about the feature, user type, and expected behaviour, then try again.
Sprint creation fails because the name is too long
Sprint names must be 35 characters or fewer. Shorten the name and try again.
Monty created the wrong item
Monty confirms defect creation before acting ("Kindly confirm"). For stories and sprints, check the details Monty summarises before clicking Proceed. If an item was created in error, delete it from the Story List or Sprint page.
