Your manual QA team deserves better tools. Spiral Scout’s new AI-powered Manual QA Assistant Agent is built to help teams handle everyday grunt work – creating tickets, reading docs, extracting test data, scanning pages –  so QAs can spend less time on busywork and more time ensuring product quality.

What Does the Manual QA Assistant Agent Do?

We built this agent for real-world manual QA teams. It integrates directly with tools like Jira, Confluence, and Google Docs – all without forcing you to change your existing setup.

Here’s what it can do right out of the box:

Core Features (Free Tier)

  • File Intelligence: Upload PDFs, CSVs, or Docs → get structured test plans or checklists
  • Jira (Cloud) Integration: Create, read, and update tickets without leaving the agent interface
  • Single-Page Scanner: Scan one page for missing content, broken elements, or typos
  • Read-Only Confluence Support: Summarize specs into useful test cases
  • Google Docs/Sheets Summaries: Extract tables or test data and turn them into a structured test plan
  • Test Docs from Templates: Feed a template — output completed test docs and checklists ready to share

And all of this can happen via chat – no scripting required.

Pro Tier (Advanced Features for Serious QA Teams)

When you need more horsepower, the Pro Tier extends the agent into a full-featured QA assistant:

  • Full Jira Integration (Cloud & Server): Multi-project support, custom fields, comment syncing, and bulk updates
  • Recursive Web Scanner: Crawl entire sites to highlight broken links or accessibility issues
  • GUI Testing Assistant: Input a URL – get a report on visual misalignments, usability issues, and responsive behavior
  • Link Validator: Scan an XML sitemap for 404s, 500s, and other dead links – output a report
  • Risk & Requirement Analysis: Parse PDFs, Docs, or test plan templates to highlight ambiguous or missing requirements – then auto-generate stakeholder questions or risk reports
  • Semantic Doc Comparison: Quickly compare two test plan versions to spot changes and missing coverage

Who’s It For?

This isn’t some generic AI. It’s built for manual QA teams who already juggle tools like Jira, Docs, Confluence, and Sheets – especially at mid-sized companies or agencies.
If you’re a:

  • QA Manager at a growing SaaS company – tired of manually creating tickets and updating stale test docs.
  • Manual QA in a startup – doing your own testing and documentation without automation help.
  • QA Consultant at an agency – handling multiple client accounts across different processes and tools.

…this agent is a perfect fit.

What kinds of test cases and QA assets can the Manual QA Assistant Agent generate?

The agent can generate a wide range of QA assets –  including functional test cases, smoke tests, checklists, and test plans – by analyzing your existing test specs, requirements, or manual test sheets. It supports multiple file formats like .pdf, .docx, .csv, .xlsx, and more.

Does the Manual QA Assistant Agent help with accessibility and usability testing?

Absolutely. In the Pro Tier, the agent includes a GUI testing assistant that scans your web pages for usability issues, design inconsistencies, and accessibility violations. It also tests responsiveness across common viewports to catch layout and interaction problems before they hit production.

The agent was designed for teams of all sizes – especially those with lean QA teams. By automatically generating tests, creating tickets, analyzing requirements for risks and gaps, and highlighting flaky tests, it dramatically reduces manual workloads.
