FREE TRIAL: How to get the most out of it
For an optimal experience with your free trial, we highly recommend deploying this Azure DevOps extension. This setup provides the greatest value to our customers.
A web-based version of Ogg is accessible at ogg.intriq.io to allow individuals and organisations to evaluate how Ogg would handle their own data. Please note that this option does not include Azure DevOps integration and therefore offers a reduced feature set.
When the sign-up link is presented, click the Ogg - Pro - 30 day trial (no credit card reqd.) plan link and evaluate for 30 days how Ogg Extensions can benefit your workflow.

- Subscribe*: Choose from one of our paid plans or trial it for free.

Settings
Ogg offers the capability to personalize settings across all Agents, enabling Ogg to effectively operate within your context.
![Ogg Settings](https://intriq.gallerycdn.vsassets.io/extensions/intriq/ogg-4-ado/1.0.30/1725614436981/marketplace/oggSettingsSample.png)
Consider the above screenshot as an example. When Ogg evaluates a user story, it will take into account the following:
Ogg will recognize that the Azure DevOps project is named Connect AI, described as a Virtual Event Networking Platform with Advanced AI Matching, and is developed using JavaScript, React, HTML5, NodeJS, Python, NoSQL, and PyTorch.
Language and Writing Style
Additionally, it will make sure the output is produced in English with a Default professional tone.
You can choose other languages and play around with different writing styles.
Here are some of the writing styles. Warning! You may experience fun.
- Baby Voice
- Arnold Schwarzenegger
- Austin Powers
- Lord Demandalot
- Nancy
Personas
Ogg will utilize Personas from your provided list, ensuring that the analyzed user stories comply with this specification.
We strongly suggest that you configure the list of Personas according to your project specification, by describing each persona in a couple of sentences. This will improve the value of Ogg's output.
Definition of Ready
Moreover, Ogg will adhere to your specified Definition of Ready criteria for user stories, allowing you to either create your custom criteria or use Ogg's default list. Consider this as your checklist before the User Story can be passed for development.
With Ogg, you eliminate the need to micromanage how teams formulate their user stories, acting as an overseeing presence. This enables you to achieve the desired consistency across your project's documentation.
Displaying the extension in the ADO work item
By default, the Ogg extension will appear as a separate tab on all work item types.
![Ogg Work Item Tab Sample](https://intriq.gallerycdn.vsassets.io/extensions/intriq/ogg-4-ado/1.0.30/1725614436981/marketplace/OggWorkItemTabSample.png)
If you wish to exclude it from certain work item types, you can follow the Microsoft documentation on editing the layout of a particular work item in your ADO process.
Pricing
- Subscription Model: Monthly subscription.
- Free Trial: Experience Ogg’s capabilities with a no-commitment free trial.
Security
We don't store your company data on our servers, nor do we use it for training our AI models.
When you submit a request through Ogg, your data is safely encrypted, sent to our APIs, which then pass it to the AI models to do their magic. Once the magic is done, it's encrypted again and sent back to your Azure DevOps page.
You can read more about how we manage security here.
