For account holders of student accounts we only collect a Pseudonym (nick name), username, and password to login to our services. This information is never shared or publicly displayed. Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13 ("Children") as parents must create and maintain the account.
We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13.

If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
We are proud supporters of the Student Privacy Pledge. Our collection and use of Student Records is governed by our contracts with the Schools, by our Privacy Policy, and by applicable privacy laws.

If you have any questions about reviewing, modifying, or deleting the personal information of a School User accessing the Service through a School partner agreement, please contact your School directly.
When our Service is used by a School in an educational setting, we may rely on the School to provide the requisite consent from the child's parents for Anomaly Studios, LLC to collect information from a School User under the age of 13. Look at our Terms of service to see more details on consent for children to use our services
Teachers can create accounts on behalf of Students. When registering an account for a Student who is under the age of 13 (a "Child"), the Teacher represents and warrants that they or the educational organization they work for has proper permission to register the Child to use our services.
By registering and creating an account for your child, your child will not be able to share information, including photos, videos, audio, and location, publicly and with others.

You'll learn how to brainstorm and document personas, reframe core problems as needs, and translate those into actionable features with step-by-step guidance. The session demonstrates both hands-on manual methods and the use of powerful AI tools—like ChatGPT—to rapidly generate and refine user stories, making the product development process more efficient. By the end, you'll be equipped with practical strategies to build, organize, and launch your own MVP, leveraging proven workflows and modern AI support.

In this video, viewers will learn a practical framework for developing a Minimum Viable Product by systematically transforming user pains into actionable features through needs analysis and Agile user stories. By following along, participants will discover how to brainstorm and document user personas, define core problems, and leverage AI tools to accelerate feature development. Completing the video equips viewers with the skills to map out, organize, and build a comprehensive feature backlog tailored to their users' needs. Ultimately, you’ll be able to apply this structured approach to launch your own MVP efficiently and effectively.

Following are the key things you will be able to do after you watch this demo:
Introduction to MVP and Ecosystem Mapping (0:00:09)
Josh introduces the concept of the Minimum Viable Product (MVP), emphasizing the importance of defining pain points, needs, and features for different stakeholders and mapping the overall project ecosystem
Three-Part Agile User Story Process (0:00:09)
Josh outlines a sequential framework: converting pains into needs and then into features, which are written as Agile user stories, highlighting the value of progressing step-by-step rather than jumping directly to user stories.
Business Vision Planning and Personas (0:08:36)
The importance of developing user personas is discussed, showing how various archetypes (e.g., medical doctors, programmers, teachers) help clarify specific needs by associating real-life pains and developing empathy-driven solutions.
Pain, Need, and Feature Transformation (0:18:15)
Demonstrates, with the example of a medical doctor, how individual pains are rewritten into user needs and further translated into actionable features, using empathetic design as a core principle.
Manual and AI-Assisted User Story Generation (0:27:50)
Josh explains how manually defining the framework prepares for leveraging AI tools, which accelerate the process of drafting needs and Agile user stories for each persona.
Leveraging AI for Brainstorming and Data Mining (0:37:51)
Describes incorporating AI chatbots (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini) to quickly generate, format, and expand user stories and pain points, as well as methods for data mining common user problems using AI.
Persona and Backlog development Workflow (0:47:00)
Shares how organizing and summarizing ideas with AI and mind mapping tools streamlines persona development and backlog creation, allowing for comprehensive project planning and smoother team collaboration.
Iterative Process and Documentation Completion (0:55:56)
Details the ongoing, iterative approach of developing user personas and scenarios, curating and refining user stories, and documenting all features in structured formats for future product development steps.
