Why Userforge

Your team builds for people.
Do you all agree who those people are?

Most teams operate on assumptions. Different stakeholders picture different customers, and decisions drift toward whoever has the loudest opinion. Userforge replaces gut-feel with a shared, living picture of your audience — so every decision starts from the same truth.

😩

Without Userforge

  • Personas live in a stale deck nobody opens
  • Teams debate whose mental model is correct
  • Marketing targets one customer, product builds for another
  • New hires spend weeks figuring out the audience
🚀

With Userforge

  • A living persona library everyone edits and references
  • Stories and maps connected directly to personas
  • AI assists without replacing your team's judgment
  • One link shares full context with every stakeholder
📈

The outcome

  • Faster alignment across product, design, and marketing
  • Features built to real needs, not imaginary users
  • Onboard new team members in minutes, not weeks
  • More confident, defensible design decisions
How it works

From blank canvas to aligned team in four steps

No UX certification required. Userforge guides you through the whole process.

1

Describe your context

Add a brief summary of your organisation, offerings, and audience — this seeds the AI with real context about your business.

2

Generate personas

Our AI proposes user archetypes based on your context. You stay in the director's chair — pick, remix, and enrich every detail.

3

Write user stories

Describe every action in your product in human terms, mapped to each persona and to the screens where they occur.

4

Share and align

Invite colleagues, share public read-only links, or export to CSV. One workspace keeps every stakeholder on the same page.

Personas

Rich, visual persona profiles that actually tell a story

Great personas go beyond demographics. Userforge structures each profile around the things that drive decisions — goals, frustrations, values, motivators, habits, and pain points — with icons, images, and beautifully formatted sections.

  • AI-assisted first drafts — context-aware archetypes generated from your org summary
  • Flexible sections — Quote, Goals, Story, Needs, Frustrations, Values, Pain Points, Habits, Motivators, and more
  • 1,000+ icons — add tasteful visual polish to every section with Tabler icons
  • Integrated image library — search thousands of photos or upload your own
  • Demographics bar — age, location, income, education at a glance
  • Multilingual support — all text is customisable; build personas in any language

User Stories

Put those personas to work — map every user action

Userforge makes user story writing fast, consistent, and traceable. Every story links back to a persona so developers, designers, and stakeholders always know who they're building for and why it matters.

  • User Story & Job Story formats supported side by side
  • Map stories to locations — tie actions to specific screens or touchpoints in your product
  • Tags and filters — organise by epic, sprint, status, persona, and more
  • CSV export — download your full story catalogue at any time
  • Jira sync — push well-formatted stories directly into Jira Software ⚡ Power
  • Customisable labels — rename every field so the format fits your team's vocabulary

Journey Map

See the full picture. Spot the gaps.

A story list tells you what exists — a map tells you what's missing. Visualise how your personas flow through your product with an interactive journey map, and immediately see which touchpoints lack coverage.

  • Visual user journey map — lay out every screen and action across your product's touchpoints
  • Connected to user stories — every story on the map links back to the full story catalogue
  • Filter by persona — see the journey from any single user group's perspective
  • Shared with your team — the map is always up to date as stories are added or changed

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need UX experience to use Userforge?
Not at all. Userforge is designed to be immediately useful to product managers, marketers, content strategists, and developers — not just UX specialists. The AI guides you through persona creation from scratch, and our templates handle the structure.
How is this different from just using ChatGPT?
ChatGPT generates text. Userforge generates structured, living data that connects to your whole workflow. Personas link to user stories. Stories are visualised on a journey map. The output isn't a document — it's a workspace your whole team maintains and references over time.
Can I invite my whole team?
Yes. Pro plans support multiple collaborators per workspace. You can also share read-only links with stakeholders and clients who don't need an account — great for reviews, presentations, and sign-off.
How does the Jira integration work?
Connect your Atlassian account using an API token, select your Jira project, and sync your user stories directly as Jira issues — with persona, scenario, action, outcome, and tags all properly formatted. Available on the ⚡ Power plan.
What is a workspace?
A workspace is a container for one project or client — with its own personas, user stories, journey map, and team members. Agencies and multi-product teams typically keep separate workspaces for each client or product line.
