Elle works across Aha! Develop the same way it works everywhere else in Aha! software. Describe a piece of work and it drafts the story and its acceptance criteria. Ask what is blocking the sprint and it reads the backlog for dependencies. Request a view of throughput and it builds the report. This article breaks down what AI functionality is available in Aha! Develop.

AI credits
Every chat interaction with Elle or use of AI capabilities deducts AI credits from your account's shared pool. The number of credits used depends on the size and complexity of your request. Long or detailed instructions, multiple PDFs or images, or large pasted text will require more processing.
Each prompt is unique and it is not possible to know ahead of time how credits will be used, but the table below gives general guidelines.
Prompt type |
Example prompts |
Approximate credit usage |
|---|---|---|
Quick edits and questions |
|
1 credit |
Short drafts and summaries |
|
1-2 credits |
Generated content |
|
2-3 credits |
Extended analysis and iteration |
|
3+ credits |
If Elle experiences a technical error when providing a response, credits will not be deducted from your account.
To prompt efficiently, be specific in your requests, set a target output length, generate an outline before moving into a draft, and refine sections selectively by highlighting text. The AI prompt library helps you build prompts that are well defined and efficient for repeated tasks.
