AI Changelog Generator
Shipstar is an AI changelog generator that turns your Git history into changelog entries your users actually read. Connect a GitHub repository, and every batch of commits and merged pull requests becomes a clear, well-structured changelog draft — written for customers, not committers. Review it, approve it, and publish it to your changelog page, email subscribers, and social channels in one step.
From Raw Commits to Readable Changelog Entries
Commit messages are written for other engineers — terse, technical, and full of internal shorthand. Shipstar's AI reads your commits and pull request descriptions, figures out what actually changed for users, and writes changelog entries in plain language. Fixes get grouped with fixes, features with features, and internal refactors that users will never notice get filtered out. The result reads like a person wrote it, because the model understands the difference between what shipped and what matters.
An Automated Changelog Generator That Runs on Your Workflow
Generate a changelog on demand after a release, or put it on a schedule and let Shipstar handle the cadence. The generator pulls the latest activity from your tracked repositories, drafts the entry, and queues it for review — no copy-pasting commit logs into a doc, no chasing engineers for what shipped this sprint. If you ship daily, weekly, or whenever the branch is green, the changelog keeps up automatically.
You Review Before Anything Goes Out
AI-generated does not mean unsupervised. Every changelog draft lands in a review queue where you can edit the copy, adjust the tone, or reject it outright. Set a custom voice for your project so entries sound like your brand, not a template. Once approved, entries publish immediately or at a scheduled time — and if you trust the pipeline, scheduled entries can go out automatically when their publish date arrives.
Publish to Every Channel at Once
A changelog nobody sees is a changelog nobody reads. Shipstar hosts a public changelog page for your project, provides an embeddable widget for your own site, and offers an RSS feed out of the box. Beyond the page itself, each entry can notify email subscribers, post to Slack, and go out to X — so one approved changelog entry becomes an announcement across every channel your users watch.

Frequently asked questions
How does an AI changelog generator work?
Shipstar connects to your GitHub repository and reads recent commits and merged pull requests. An AI model analyzes the changes, identifies what is user-facing, and writes a structured changelog entry in plain language. The draft goes to a review queue where you can edit and approve it before it publishes to your changelog page and other channels.
Will AI-generated changelog entries publish without my approval?
Only if you want them to. By default, every generated entry waits in a review queue for approval. You can also schedule content and let Shipstar auto-publish approved entries when their publish date arrives — you control how much automation you're comfortable with.
Do I need to follow conventional commits for the generator to work?
No. Shipstar's AI reads ordinary commit messages and pull request descriptions and infers what changed. Conventional commits help, but messy, real-world commit history works fine — the model summarizes what shipped rather than parsing commit prefixes.
Where can I publish the generated changelog?
Shipstar hosts a public changelog page with an RSS feed, and provides an embeddable widget for your own site. Entries can also be delivered to email subscribers, posted to Slack, shared on X, and pushed to webhooks for custom destinations.
