Challenge

Many enterprise SaaS companies publish a changelog to keep their users informed on newly launched features, on a weekly or monthly basis. Typically, it is the product manager's role to list the completed features, add them to the changelog, and describe them to their users. This autonomous AI agent automates this entire process, replacing manual effort with intelligent orchestration.

How the AI agent works

Below is how this agent works

1. Define target repository: The user specifies the target repository and the timeframe for the report.

2. Locate merged PRs: The agent scans the repository for all merged Pull Requests within a specified time window.

3. Extract & analyze context: Using advanced tools for building AI, the agent summarizes merged PRs into specific categories and creates a report.

4. Report upload: The agent creates a new branch and opens a PR, pushing the report.er an email when the process is completed.

5. Email notification. The agent sends the user an email when the automation process is completed.

6. Repeat programmatically: The agent repeats the whole process on a defined schedule, ensuring consistency in production environments.

Key benefits

- Reduces the time required by product managers to publish changelogs.

- Automates and schedules changelogs creation.

- Keeps your users informed on new features with reliable, autonomous updates.
