Team Assistant for Azure DevOps

Opinity’s Team Assistant is an AI-powered Azure DevOps extension that turns ideas into a fully structured backlog in seconds (and saves you hours!). Try and see it for yourself.

Why do I need Team Assistant?

Building and managing your backlog in Azure DevOps shouldn’t feel like a second job, right? As a product owner, scrum master or team member you spend hours refining work items, estimating effort and debating acceptance criteria (a.k.a. endless meetings) — time better spent shipping value and letting everyone do what they do best!

Team Assistant brings AI right into your Azure DevOps User Interface (UI), so you can:

  • go from idea to actionable backlog in seconds;
  • ensure every work item meets your standards by default;
  • keep consistency across features, user stories, tasks, and more;
  • cut down on endless refinement meetings.
