What is Shortcut AI?

Shortcut is an agile project management platform built for software development teams. It helps teams plan, track, and deliver work using agile methodologies, with a focus on reducing administrative overhead. The platform includes AI-powered story writing that can generate user stories and acceptance criteria automatically, and workflow optimisation features that suggest process improvements based on your team's patterns. It works well for teams of any size, from small startups to larger organisations, and integrates with common development tools like GitHub, GitLab, and Slack. The free tier supports up to 10 users, making it accessible for teams just starting out with agile practices.

Pros & cons

Advantages

  • Free tier accommodates small teams without cost, making it easy to try before committing
  • AI story writing saves time on documentation and ensures consistency in how work is described
  • Purpose-built for software teams, so it understands agile practices and development workflows natively
  • Workflow suggestions are based on actual team data, offering practical rather than generic advice

Limitations

  • AI-powered features may require time to set up and train on your team's existing stories for best results
  • Smaller teams may find the free tier limiting once they grow past 10 users, requiring a paid plan
