Fable — Sync user stories and requirements between Docs and Jira
Push a button and send user stories in your product spec to Jira. Fable will also keep the spec fresh with any changes made to the tickets on Jira. No more copy + pasting from Docs into Jira, no more stale spec!

Thanks @sanketchauhan, we completely agree that PM's could use some extra time saves :)
I've had a chance to play around with Fable for the last couple weeks. Has already saved me thousands of clicks! And preserved my sanity by requiring less of my time in the dungeons of Jira. This is a no-brainer tool to adopt if you're a PM that shifts between Docs to Jira. Thanks to the speed + responsiveness of @aravindh_dorai and @alex_chumbley, it also keeps getting better and better each day!
Great product, great team and @abhiondemand said it best: super exciting to enable PMs to focus less on project management and more on actual product management.
I was lucky enough to get an early look at Fable's Google Docs Add-On and it was ✨magical✨.
It made me realize that I won't have to spend as much time creating and managing tickets in JIRA!! I really didn't like the JIRA ticket creation and editing UX (I mean who does!?). There are so many fields and never where I expected them to be.
So excited to have more PMs and builders get their hands on this, so that they can spend less time on *project* management and more time on *product* management!
Congrats @aravindh_dorai and @alex_chumbley! 🚀
@abhiondemand Thank you for this feedback and for all the feedback that you've provided so far! It's played a huge role in shaping the product.
awesome idea! i like how lightweight it is, meeting folks where they are instead of adding yet-another collaboration point. our engineering postmortem template has a section for tracking follow-up items that is _always_ out of date — i think Fable would be a great way to make sure we keep track of the work we're doing to learn from our mistakes! even from a "brainstorming" angle, being able to see a breakdown of work from the table level just totally beats Jira's overview of the same. looking forward to using Fable with my team
This looks really useful, congrats on the launch. What's your business model @aravindh_dorai ?
@tylerswartz Thanks for the feedback! This add on is free - we're building a paid web app in parallel that allows PMs to organize all the content in a spec, and also provides easy reporting of how the build is going.
I've spent so much time copying and pasting from into Jira. This is going to save me so much time!
@kunal_modi Thanks for the feedback Kunal! We've heard that engineers find value in sync'ing their eng specs as well.
Wow, I've never used Jira before but keeping my specs/PRDs in sync with my project management tool may make me try Jira -- this looks awesome!
The team behind Fable is awesome and the product keeps getting better and better! As a PM, highly recommend.
@mbusel Thanks for this awesome feedback! Hope to have a version for Notion soon.
Thanks @scott_hanford! You know you're stuff when it comes to sass so that's high praise!
Hey Product Hunters! 👋
It's @aravindh_dorai here, along with my cofounder @alex_chumbley. We're so excited to launch the Fable Google Docs Add On.
I've been a product manager at large companies and startups, and everywhere I've seen a big gap between defining WHAT to build and planning HOW to build it. PMs need the flexibility of a doc editor like Google Docs, while engineers need the granularity of an issue tracker like Jira.
The Fable Google Docs Add On bridges that gap - use it to:
- Turn your stories in Docs into Jira tickets with a single click. Stop spending all your time copying and pasting
- Keep your spec fresh when changes are made to Jira tickets. Your spec is always the source of truth
Would love to hear your feedback in the comments - looking forward to the discussion!
P.S. - stay tuned for our web app. It'll sync user stories and requirements to any issue tracker, plus give you two new features: a modern take on the spec editor and a dashboard that tracks progress once the build starts.
