GitHub Release Notes Writer

Replaces a $45k Technical Writer, auto-drafting release notes from merged PRs and commit history.

The Problem

Engineering teams waste 2-4 hours per release manually reviewing commits, categorizing changes, and writing release notes. A technical writer or senior dev spends significant time translating code changes into user-friendly language, delaying release cycles. Most SMB dev shops skip this entirely, shipping without clear communication to users.

The Outcome

The agent connects to your GitHub repository, scans merged PRs and commits since the last release, categorizes changes by type (features, fixes, breaking changes, dependencies), extracts relevant details, and generates a polished release notes draft. You review and publish in minutes instead of hours.

Day in the Life

Mon 9am: Agent detects new release tag → pulls merged PRs from past 2 weeks → extracts titles, descriptions, and linked issues

Mon 9:15am: Categorizes changes (Features, Bug Fixes, Security, Dependencies) → drafts markdown with user-friendly summaries → posts to Slack for team review

Mon 10am: Team approves draft → agent publishes to GitHub Releases and emails stakeholders with formatted notes
